247 Banksia Street, Ivanhoe

No Body Corporate Directly Opposite Parklands

SOLD by Miles Real Estate. Parkland directly opposite and nature trails at the end of this quiet stretch of Banksia Street create an incredibly peaceful and sought-after setting for this delightful three bedroom residence. Freestanding with own private garden frontage on a compact parcel of land, this inviting mid-century home that's been updated where it matters most immediately overlooks expansive Ford Park while only metres away are the tranquil Darebin Creek Trail and coffee shops. An original red brick profile behind high-fence garden with secure off-street parking introduces a property of significant appeal that represents an idyllic Ivanhoe entry point or a site to inspire a new double-storey design with even better views. The single-level interior on polished hardwood floorboards offers three overly generous bedrooms, built-in robes and a beautiful renovated bathroom featuring a fabulous freestanding bath, dual vanity and separate shower. A modernized kitchen is fully appointed with stainless-steel appliances and adjoins a meals area and living room where a gas log fireplace provides cozy winter warmth. Also includes a laundry area and split-system heating and cooling, while an alfresco patio soaks up the sunshine when entertaining guests. Instantly livable and rentable with potential to go further by introducing more style, adding a second level or starting again with a stunning new park-view domain (STCA), this north-facing home is brimming with options near Ivanhoe's shopping and restaurant precinct, buses, train station, quality schools and the Austin Hospital.
