Overview

Prized Darebin Parklands Cul-De-Sac Potential

Nestled on a 825m2 allotment (approx) surrounded by bushland in a tightly-held cul-de-sac with a tranquil country air, this delightful four bedroom, two bathroom residence presents a rare opportunity only moments to Ivanhoe's first-class amenities such as shopping and leading schools. Leafy garden greenery introduces the classic façade of 'Whinfell', a long-held 1920s timber home loved for its captivating character, sweeping views, large garden setting and seamless connection to its natural treed environs. Comfortably appointed for relaxed family living, a timeless interior with heritage fretwork in a wide entrance hallway leads to three front bedrooms, a central bathroom (separate bathtub and shower) and a huge rear main bedroom including an open fireplace, ceiling fan, a peaceful outlook and direct access to a wrap-around veranda. Complemented by a second bathroom and a separate laundry, the layout extends from a charming lounge room warmed by an ornate open fireplace, to an updated gourmet kitchen featuring stainless-steel appliances, a Miele dishwasher and stone benchtops. Split-system air-conditioning enhances an open-plan zone at the rear where dining and living areas with wonderful treed vistas flow through French doors to a spacious timber deck elevated over an expansive backyard for exceptional alfresco entertaining. Also offers attic ladder storage, LED lighting, rainwater tank and a carport. An established sanctuary in an exclusive cul-de-sac culminating in Darebin Creek's endless parkland and nature trails, this inviting property looks confidently to the future with potential to renovate, expand or reimagine the site (STCA) when ready. An extraordinary lifestyle opening in a highly sought-after pocket close to Ivanhoe Village cafes, restaurants and shopping, primary and private schools, train station, buses and the Austin and Mercy hospitals.
