This (circa) 1956 Stuart McIntosh designed home is of especial historical significance as the architects own home between 1956 - 1963 and is nestled on the corner of Tyrell Street and in a serene park-side setting just a short walk to Koonung Secondary College and Box Hill Senior Secondary College. McIntosh was well known for his bank architecture and had only designed a small few residential homes, making this home a rare gem. The 1950’s modernist style has been complimented by tranquil botanical landscaping, which has matured to provide serene privacy and security. Whilst the home is comfortable it still offers ample potential to sympathetically update and possibly extend (STCA) and further update the interior to your own style and taste. Surrounded by multiple flourishing alfresco zones, the home currently offers an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances which overlooks the open-plan living/dining room. With warm hardwood floors and an inviting wood-burner set in a stone hearth, this is a welcoming space to enjoy the garden views through a wall of windows. Two of the three bedrooms offer fitted robes; a bright central bathroom, laundry, separate bungalow (possible home office/workshop) plus split system and ample onsite parking conclude this appealing proposition. Next to Gawler Chain reserve and playground; walk to buses, Elgar Park and Mont Albert Reserve; close to Box Hill North Primary, freeway, Tafe, Westfield, Box Hill Central and Whitehorse Road tram. Lot/Plan No: 8/LP20009
