Elegant is an understatement for this c.1920s period-style beauty, showcasing timeless character features in a free-flowing interior that has aged perfectly with contemporary ideals of family comfort. Pair this with an idyllic garden block at the heart of sought-after Ivanhoe and you have something truly special on your hands.
Charming return verandah frontage invites you inside the home, opening with an ornate and comfortably carpeted sitting room centred on the gorgeous original feature fireplace. A pillared archway connects this space to the dining room for a seamless flow between formal lounging and dining.
Folding doors then open to reveal the light-filled living and meals area with polished Baltic Pine floorboards throughout, offering an enchanting place for the family to relax that is beautifully complemented by the timber cabinetry and large centre island of the pristine entertainer's kitchen.
Privately isolated upstairs is the master suite complete with a walk-in robe and full elegantly-appointed ensuite. The main floor adds two further bedrooms each with built-in robes, as well as a 4th bedroom doubling as a grand formal study/office. Each of these bedrooms is serviced by a tidy central bathroom, while the separate laundry adds plenty of additional storage.
French doors extend the living and meals area out to the serene backyard garden, immersing you in the ambience of this tranquil outdoor oasis with a private patio for alfresco entertaining and a fully fenced in-ground swimming pool for summer luxury.
The tandem lock-up double carport offers secure parking, as well as side access to an additional double garage at the rear of the block that makes for an excellent workshop. Additional features of the home include original leadlights, under stairs storage, ducted heating and evaporative cooling.
The lively village-style atmosphere of Ivanhoe is a perfect match for the warmth and charm of this property, with a premium address conveniently nestled between Ivanhoe's central shops, cafés and restaurants as well as the shopping and dining precinct of East Ivanhoe Village.
You're zoned for several prestigious schools and are just around the corner from friendly Ivanhoe Park, while nearby bus stops and train stations provide effortless transport up to the major amenities of Heidelberg or straight down into the Melbourne CBD.
