15th May 2014 / Gail Logan: 7 Clydesdale Street, Box Hill

Builder's own award-winning home

An exceptional Californian Bungalow conversion, this builder's own award winning home presents a well-designed family friendly floorplan of 5 generous robed bedrooms, separate above-garage home office/studio and expansive living, entertaining and alfresco areas.

The character of this charming 1920s home is preserved by the attention to period detail including its faithfully restored facade, original ornate ceilings and replication of the original window detail throughout the home. Tasmanian Oak floors, high ceilings and matching mantelpieces in the immaculate formal lounge and dining rooms maintain the heritage ambiance.

Extended to the rear with an additional light and spacious first storey barely detectable from the street, the home features the main bedroom with stylish ensuite and impressively fitted robes at the front, 2nd bedroom, powder room and laundry also at ground level and 3 bedrooms with BIRs plus family bathroom opening off the expansive, top-of-stairs family room.

The heart and hub of this amazing home is the kitchen/living/meals space, vast in area yet radiating a warm and intimate environment, the centrepiece being a stunning Jarrah island bench/breakfast bar surrounded by capacious bespoke cabinetry with a 2 pac finish continuing through to the family area. A freestanding 7 burner Belling stove takes pride of place, plus Carrara marble benchtops, double drawer dishwasher and pull out pantry.

At the rear the saltwater solar heated pool, BBQ and alfresco dining space under an Ironbark arbour capture the northern sun. Above the double auto garage, a versatile home office/studio provides an inspirational workspace looking out to the treed surrounds.

A basement/home theatre offers an ideal family retreat and added features include a separate 1000 bottle capacity wine cellar, gas ducted heating and electric wall panels, evap. cooling, water tank, cubby house and auto controlled side driveway gates. Positioned in a sought after tree-lined street of stunningly restored heritage homes with easy access to the numerous transport, shops and restaurant options of central Box Hill, TAFE, schools, parks and sporting reserves and Eastern Freeway.
