There is something quietly enchanting about Fairy Street, and this elegant four bedroom, two bathroom residence that's been tightly-held by the same family since 1972, captures that magical sense of rarity and place within Ivanhoe's prestigious Fairy Hills precinct.
Elevated, gracious and rich in period character, this captivating red brick residence on the corner of Anerley Street reflects an era of craftsmanship and timelessness that sits comfortably within its elite storybook surroundings lined with beautiful overarching plane trees.
A handsome 1920s façade with classical columns sets an attractive street presence where stepping inside reveals an inviting entry hall introducing a charm-filled interior defined by decorative ceilings, plate rails, polished parquetry flooring and feature leadlight and stained-glass windows.
Each retaining their own identity through open fireplaces and colourful glazing, a north-facing living room capturing light and views extends to a separate formal dining room where connected via a breakfast servery, lies a perfectly-updated kitchen featuring a Smeg stainless-steel cooktop, Neff double ovens, a dual-drawer dishwasher and an etched glass window that quietly references the home's warm-hearted history.
Accommodation is distributed across both the original home and the rear extension, providing four great-sized bedrooms, each with built-in robes, complemented by a separate study, two bright bathrooms, a separate toilet and a full-size laundry.
A natural rear garden setting under a leafy canopy is a wonderfully engaging space for family life. Secure for children to play and shoot hoops, and parents to entertain on a brick paved patio, this established alfresco area is private and peaceful complemented by a lock-up workshop and a gated carport off Anerley Street.
Completing the home is a suite of practical enhancements including ducted gas heating, split-system air-conditioning, solar electricity, electric heat-pump hot water service and comprehensive rewiring and replumbing completed in recent years. These upgrades sit comfortably alongside the home's original fabric, supporting modern living without compromising its integrity.
Offered for the first time in over five decades, this once in a generation opportunity in one of Ivanhoe's most coveted pockets brings with it rare rewards of long-term family success only moments to Ivanhoe Grammar School, Yarra River parklands, golf course, Ivanhoe's boutique retail and restaurant precinct, train station, freeway and Heidelberg's hospitals.
