Enduring elegance, exceptional flexibility
Rich in history, this refined c1926 Arts & Crafts home delivers a rare blend of period elegance, architectural character, and outstanding family flexibility in one of Ivanhoe’s most prestigious boulevards. Beyond its lush, private garden setting, the home reveals exquisite detail, with beautiful craftsmanship and many original touches certain to delight those who appreciate its rich history.
A sunken formal lounge with a soaring 4-metre ceiling and an open fireplace forms a warm and inviting place to relax, complemented by an elegant dining domain that flows through to a well-appointed kitchen with quality appliances, a sunny meals zone, and a reading nook, all enhanced by large skylights.
The private master suite offers built-in robes and a stylish ensuite with a freestanding bath, rain shower, and a dual-basin vanity, while upstairs there is a spacious, pitched-roof home office/library, a radiant bedroom, and valuable under-roof storage. In a separate yet connected wing of the home, discover a lounge room, two robed bedrooms, a modern bathroom, and a study nook/play area, ideal for multigenerational living, guest accommodation, or older children.
Flowing outdoors, the glistening heated pool and spa with extensive decking and an adjoining poolhouse with a kitchenette provide a haven for family fun or fitness. Further enhancing the home’s appeal is a lower-level workshop with provision for a wine cellar, along with a private backyard featuring a paved alfresco zone, a magnificent tree, and beautifully established gardens that offer privacy, greenery, and a true sense of belonging.
Amongst the highlights are CCTV, keyless entry, an alarm, hydronic heating, hardwood floors, a guest powder room, and a double auto garage with workshop/storage space. In a stunning riverside location, it’s steps from Sparks and Wilson Reserve with direct access to the Yarra River trail, and moments from lively Ivanhoe Village, bus and train services, leading private schools, major hospitals, golf courses, and the Eastern Freeway for seamless access to the CBD.
