3 Laura Ct, Box Hill North VIC 3129

Two things set this property apart before you even step inside. The first is the court. It's low traffic, quietly tucked away, and the kind of setting where children still play outside and neighbours know each other's names. The second is the backyard. The boundary disappears and you share the open green space, trees, shrubs and birdsong of Tassel's Park with endless room to roam beginning the moment you open the gate.

The home itself is a classic 1960s-70s family residence on 697 square metres, with a layout that has grown and adapted over the years to suit the way families live. Polished Vic Ash floorboards run through the living area, kitchen, dining room, study and front halls, finished with a Loba coat just twelve months ago. Ornate cornicing adds a period elegance to the main living room, where an open fireplace makes winter evenings something to look forward to. It is open-plan to the dining room and has sliding doors to a covered patio in the rear garden. A second living room sits separately with its own front entry, a split-system air conditioner and a leadlight feature window. Originally a music teacher's studio, later a workspace for eight, it's a natural home office or retreat for anyone who needs to work from home without crossing through the family end of the house. The kitchen is well-equipped with a four-burner gas stove, oven and Omega dishwasher.

Four bedrooms are spread thoughtfully across the layout. At the rear, the main ensuite bedroom includes a dressing room/sitting retreat with split-system air conditioner, with a second bedroom sitting alongside. Two further bedrooms at the front share the family bathroom. Brivis ducted heating runs throughout.
