'Stafford House' - An Exquisite Family Entertainer

Tucked away on an oak tree-lined avenue in the coveted Ivanhoe Hill precinct, 'Stafford House' is a solid brick 1920s entertainer that with a beautiful profile and secure gated garden, offers exceptional family accommodation backed by a resort-style alfresco sanctuary.

Family celebrations, connection and comfort come seamlessly together in this outstanding two-level residence where easy living and poolside enjoyment are brilliantly delivered with wow-factor effect amid perfectly-presented landscaped gardens.

Bedrooms are arranged with excellent balance across both levels, delivering space, privacy and family flexibility in equal measure. A large ground-floor bedroom (BIRs) is serviced by a nearby central bathroom, while located upstairs are three further bedrooms (walk-in/built-in robes, ceiling fans) including a substantial main suite with direct two-way ensuite/bathroom access.

Refined period detail characterises versatile ground-floor spaces, where on bright polished floorboards with exquisite leadlight windows and high decorative ceilings, lie adjoining sitting and living rooms (wood fireplace) before a spacious kitchen (Italian-made stainless-steel stove and dishwasher) and an exceptional family/dining area.

Outdoors is where the home truly comes into its own, unfolding into a spectacular and secure rear oasis designed for year-round excitement and unforgettable gatherings. A bluestone-paved, covered terrace with ceiling fans, shutters, TV, intercom port and a fully equipped alfresco kitchen (BBQ, cooktop, dishwasher, sink, fridge), overlooks a solar-heated swimming pool, lush lawn, a children's play area and a flexible separate studio/gym.

Additional features include a laundry, ducted heating, video intercom, security alarm and plantation shutters, as well as automatic gate entry to ample off-street parking.

Defined by its impressive family space and an unmistakable sense of occasion, 'Stafford House' presents a highly sought-after lifestyle scenario with its timeless character, flexibility and remarkable entertaining credentials close to Ivanhoe Village and the Burgundy Street precinct, primary and private schools, parkland, train station and the Austin and Mercy Hospitals.
