2 Green Street, Ivanhoe

Gloriously Grand & Garden-Set Family Sanctuary

A remarkable story of family pride and joy is set to continue with this beautiful Victorian c1889, that craftsman-restored and quality enhanced, is one of Ivanhoe's most exquisite heritage properties.

Owned by only three families and undoubtedly now at its best, this substantial four bedroom and study residence presents a genuinely rare opportunity amid superbly landscaped garden on a north-facing rear 701m2 allotment (approx).

A gorgeous street presence with a return veranda evokes the romance of the era as the layout unfolds beyond a wide arched hallway revealing towering period ceilings, marble open fireplaces, compelling original character and even a few wonderful surprises throughout a series of glorious rooms.

A sumptuous formal sitting with a bay window offers peaceful retreat, while opposite, a superb main bedroom includes a walk-in robe and an attractive ensuite with an oversized double shower.

Further is a large second bedroom (restored open fireplace, veranda access), along with two additional bedrooms with built-in robes, complemented by a versatile study or 5th bedroom, an elegant family bathroom fitted with a clawfoot bath and a frameless-glass shower, as well as a delightful timber-lined powder room.

Authentic Baltic pine transitions to Queensland red ironbark flooring as the interior expands into a huge rear family zone. Here, a solid granite kitchen with a breakfast bench and walk-in pantry features quality stainless-steel appliances, and serves adjoining dining and living areas warmed by a HeatnGlo gas fireplace.

Dual French doors link to the rear garden where a full-width, undercover entertainment deck overlooks a sun-splashed lawn fringed in flowering beds, before a lock-up garage/workshop with a shower and toilet, and a remote-control double carport.

Other attributes include a full-size laundry, subfloor wine cellar, central heating, evaporative cooling, ducted vacuum, alarm system, high-quality drapery, extensive insulation, and side and rear lane ROW.

A once in a generation opening where history has been made and awaits its next exciting chapter, this grand family home is a local landmark of unrivalled beauty and refinement near Ivanhoe Village cafes, restaurants, shops and supermarkets, grammar and primary schools, parkland, train station and Heidelberg's Austin and Mercy hospitals.
