839 Station Street
Box Hill North

A classic Californian bungalow presence set proudly on a generous corner allotment, this residence carries the confidence and grace of its era while embracing the comfort of thoughtful modern updates. From the street, established gardens create a private sanctuary, leading to a wide wraparound verandah framed by brick piers, weatherboard cladding and shingled gables in a timeless palette of maroon and deep green.

The entry hallway immediately reveals the home’s heritage soul. Leadlight windows scatter soft colour, ceiling roses draw the eye upward and period light fittings set an elegant tone. The formal lounge feels wonderfully intact with picture rails and French doors flowing to the dining room where a bay window, plantation shutters and a brick fireplace create a space made for long conversations.

Four bedrooms offer flexibility and charm, each with sash windows, ornate cornices and built-in robes. One adapts easily as a fitted study with a long custom desk, while the front bedroom enjoys leafy outlooks through Roman blinds and leadlight detail.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen and meals area balances contemporary function with classic warmth. A central island with breakfast bar anchors the space, complemented by composite stone benchtops, a 900mm Haier cooktop, Blanco oven and Smeg dishwasher. Sliding doors open to a vast entertainer’s deck where afternoons drift into evenings overlooking lawn and mature trees that provide beautiful privacy.

Two fully tiled bathrooms include a skylit main with bathtub and shower, while a well-appointed laundry offers extensive cabinetry and space for additional appliances. Outside, the corner position reveals a secure carport with automatic roller gate, garden shed and water tank, completing a property designed for easy living.

Positioned within the Box Hill North Primary School and Koonung Secondary College zones, the home sits walking distance to Tram Route 109, close to Our Lady of Sion College, Box Hill Central and Box Hill Station, with Box Hill Gardens, Westfield Doncaster and EastLink all moments away.

History, comfort and craftsmanship meet here in a setting where character has been cherished rather than replaced.
