Box Hill 99 Carrington Road

'Carrington' Absolutely immaculate from every aspect, this circa 1891 double storey Late Victorian style mansion was built in what would then have been the peak of fashion. Subtle renewal, by the present owners, over the past 26 years has only improved on its convenient floor plan and faultless construction.

This is a wonderful family home and an absolute delight to inspect. With large bright rooms, tall leadlight windows, high 11ft decorative ceilings, marble fireplaces, tessellated tiled porch and entrance and much more, it challenges the best modern homes for convenience and easy living, while retaining its outstanding period character.

The accommodation includes a splendid entrance hall with a beautiful staircase to the upper floor, elegant, attractively proportioned drawing room, with delicate coloured glass leadlight windows and dining room, both featuring fine marble mantelpieces (total 5) and period lighting. Modern period style kitchen includes granite benches, timber cupboards, a walk-in pantry and Smeg appliances. Generous family room opening to expansive roofed alfresco deck, study/laundry and downstairs modern period style bathroom, 4 large bedrooms upstairs including the master bedroom with a north-facing balcony, and a fully tiled bathroom with spa. Other items include gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling, insulation and security.

Reinforcing this property's investment value, behind a high brick fence and remote operated gates, this unique property of 1,247 sq m includes magnificent, secluded gardens maintained by an automatic irrigation system and 30,000 litre tank, a large in-ground pool with automatic filtration, a separate gazebo including a kitchenette, BBQ, 3rd bathroom, workshop and double carport with rear access, plus a separate coach house style, automatic double garage with a beautiful, bright, air conditioned attic, home-office.

Close to all Box Hill Central's amenities and the best of Melbourne private schools, Carrington presents a rare opportunity to enjoy a unique lifestyle with a very substantial investment value.
