Modern Brilliance & Heritage Charm - A Family Sanctuary & Studio Apartment!

SOLD by Miles Real Estate. Superbly elevated, with sweeping northerly frontage in a tranquil garden setting, this attractive light-filled residence boasts heritage charm and modern architectural WOW factor! Ideal for flexible family living, this architecturally renovated, solid brick 1920s home opens out beyond its wide entrance hall and hardwood polished floors offering three spacious bedrooms (BIRs; main with walk-in robe and ensuite), delightful lounge room (HeatnGlo gas fireplace), excellent central bathroom (spa bath) and full-size laundry. A striking, sun-filled space architecturally designed by Barbara Weimar at the rear features a premium quality stone kitchen with stainless-steel appliances and a captivating modern living and dining space.

This impressive main house is enhanced by a secondary dwelling; a brilliantly designed, self-contained office/studio or 4th bedroom/studio apartment that with separate street access and frontage essentially creates two desirable addresses in one. This beloved family home of 30 years reflects all the personality and taste of those accustomed to quality design, and includes the comforts of solar electricity, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, split system air-conditioning, rainwater tanks and large remote-control double garage (3-phase power). At 959m2, this corner-block allotment is outstanding in its vantage, in a premier Darebin Creek parklands pocket, desirably located within walking distance of primary and private schools, central Ivanhoe's cafes, restaurants and shops, train station and extensive parkland trails, and only 10km from Melbourne's CBD. A rare Rockbeare precinct opportunity!
