SOLD by Miles Real Estate. Poised for perfection in a peaceful Ivanhoe Hill pocket, this spacious four bedroom, 2.5 bathroom residence captures the essence of 1960s design, along with elevated distant views, on a secure 685m2 allotment (approx) by Ivanhoe and Heidelberg's sought-after amenities.
High-wall privacy and automatic gates conceal the inviting façade and impressive garden surrounds of this largely-original brick home that with authentic character creating a timeless family-focused ambience, delivers endless inspiration to tailor a stunning renovation when ready.
Broad terrace entry introduces a bright L-shaped living and dining room with north-facing sliding doors and a stone-backed open fireplace that also overlooks an attractive rose-lined garden with an alfresco terrace and central fountain.
Further is a kitchen and casual dining area rich in retro charm with its burnt-orange tiling and cork floor tiles, before a classic separate laundry and a handy powder room adding to the layout's excellent functionality.
Zoned at the rear and complemented by a central family bathroom (marble twin vanity, separate bath, bidet) are four well-proportioned bedrooms including three with built-in robes. The delightful main with a ceiling fan and an ensuite also offers direct access out to a private rear terrace enjoying wonderful views and sunsets.
Also includes ducted heating, secluded rear garden, a remote-control double garage, plus extensive under-house storage and a workshop.
Perfectly comfortable as is yet brimming with creative opportunity, its light-filled single-level layout, fabulous vistas, generous land dimensions and quiet leafy setting form an exceptional foundation for stylish enhancement, a brand-new luxury home or even multi-unit redevelopment (STCA).
The outstanding location is central to everything from Ivanhoe's boutique shopping, cafes and highly-rated schools to Burgundy Street's train station, the Austin Hospital and Yarra River parklands.
