1/21 Clyde Street,

Box Hill North

This single-level unit lives a lot like a house. A private driveway, full double garage and north-facing front garden give it a real sense of independence, with no shared frontage and nobody tucked in front. Holding the prime position at the head of the group, it offers the proportions you'd expect from a freestanding home, with three bedrooms, two separate living areas and outdoor space to both the front and rear.

The entry opens into a generous lounge, a quiet place to read or sit with guests, set apart from where the day-to-day happens. Further in, the family and meals area gives the interior its easy second zone, right beside a U-shaped kitchen with a breakfast bar, stainless steel oven and gas cooktop.

Sliding doors connect to a partially covered courtyard, creating an relaxed outdoor pocket for a barbecue, table setting or pots of greenery. The double garage also opens through to the backyard, which is handy for storage, bikes and gardening gear.

The three bedrooms make it a strong option for young families, downsizers who still want room, or those needing a guest room or home office. The main bedroom includes a walk-in robe and direct access to the semi-ensuite bathroom, complete with a bath and walk-in shower. Built-in robes are fitted in the remaining two bedrooms. A second toilet, full laundry, linen cupboard, ducted heating, split-system, and plantation shutters add comfort.
