55 Wilfred Road, Ivanhoe East

Versatile Family Living In A Vast Garden Setting

A massive garden allotment spanning 1004m2 (approx) in a dress-circle location by the East Ivanhoe Village, parklands and schools is the superbly established setting of this extensive five bedroom and studies residence where a family can make an immediate impact and a significant lifestyle statement.

Wide garden frontage introduces a handsome attic-style, clinker-brick façade where original fluted-glass double doors open to a welcoming hallway lined with polished hardwood floorboards that unfolds to an extra-large, two-level interior complemented by ducted heating, split-system air-conditioning, security alarm and quality modern fixtures and finishes.

The ground-floor layout reveals a sequence of beautifully-proportioned rooms starting with a big bedroom with built-in robes, a second robed bedroom and a fully-tiled contemporary central bathroom.

Further is an elegant lounge room centred on a tapestry-brick open fireplace and craftsman-built cabinetry where fluted-glass sliders open to a refined formal dining room, before a sky-lit gourmet kitchen featuring a full suite of brilliant Bosch appliances, stone benchtops and soft-close storage.

Additional accommodation includes a spacious rear bedroom with built-in robes, a huge fitted study/home office with direct internal access to the tandem remote-control garage, and a combined laundry with bathroom facilities, while located upstairs is a generous retreat/study with a fixed desk and storage, accompanied by two great-sized bedrooms (one with dormer-window seating), a bright modern bathroom, and a broad balcony.

A fabulous family living room with polished timber floors and expansive sliding doors captures tranquil garden vistas and spills directly out onto a vast elevated deck ideal for entertaining on any scale, while the substantial backyard that seemingly goes on forever is defined by sweeping lawn, productive vegetable beds, fruit trees, children's swing-set, greenhouse, and potential to transform into a resort-style entertainment oasis.

There are also ceiling fans, automatic window shutters, ample roof storage, under-house storage/workshop space with a toilet and driveway off-street parking.

Delivering exceptional flexibility for growing families and multi-generational living alike, this impressive residence combines timeless character, modern enhancement and an extraordinary garden setting in one of Ivanhoe East's most desirable enclaves.

Enviably situated only moments to village cafes and shops, reputable schools, Ivanhoe and Chelsworth Parks, Yarra River trails, freeway and public transport.
