Compelling Family Quality In A Serene Garden Setting

A peaceful family sanctuary with a beautiful garden presence, this outstanding four bedroom, two bathroom residence with a study is thoughtfully updated and extended for relaxed indoor-outdoor living and entertaining within easy walking distance to all of Ivanhoe's excellent amenities.

Classic 1920s craftsmanship, quality contemporary enhancement and a tranquil country-like ambience create a wonderful family-focused setting that effortlessly encourages individual independence and shared connection on a 670m2 approx. north-facing rear allotment.

A wide entrance hall lined with floor-insulated polished hardwood boards launches a single-storey layout that's impressively shaped by clarity of design and calm, even light while kept comfy year-round with hydronic heating and split-system air-conditioning.

All fitted with ceiling fans and new carpet, accommodation is superbly proportioned starting with a front main bedroom including a fitted walk-in robe and a fully-tiled ensuite with a frameless-glass shower and heated towel rail, before three additional bedrooms that each offer built-in robes.

A large lounge room with a seated bay window and open fireplace is perfectly flexible for changing family needs, and extends through to a handy separate study fitted with ample storage and a work desk.

A central family bathroom with shower-over-bath and heated towel rail, precedes a double-glazed, north-rear family zone with dual sliding doors where a light-filled living room leads to a spacious family/meals area complemented by a brilliant gourmet kitchen (Ilve stove, Miele dishwasher, breakfast island) adjoining a separate butler's pantry and laundry combination.

Beneath the shade of a century-old river gum, a native-inspired and drought-tolerant garden oasis is a highlight of this captivating property that can be enjoyed in privacy or when large-scale entertaining from a full-width stringybark-timber deck under a grape-entwined pergola.

Tucked away in a serene, walkable pocket valued for its village atmosphere and community spirit, this idyllic double-fronted home is enviably located just footsteps to primary and grammar schools, Ivanhoe's vibrant cafe and shopping strip, train station, parkland trails, aquatic centre/gym and further afield to Heidelberg's hospital precinct.
