Vast Family Sanctuary With Darebin Creek Frontage
SOLD by Miles Real Estate. Absolute Darebin Creek frontage meets an expansive garden sanctuary where this beautifully renovated family entertainer presents a once in a lifetime lifestyle opportunity on a 1985m2 allotment (approx) with breathtaking bushland views.
As serene as it is spectacular in a highly-prized Fairy Hills pocket, this superb solid brick home elevated amidst a naturally landscaped, pool-side setting is more like a significant slice of rural bliss that's only moments from Ivanhoe's blue-chip amenities and just minutes to the city.
A stunning street presence with dual-crossover off-street parking and low-upkeep native garden framing an impressive 1920s façade introduces a carefully-considered interior transformation highlighting elegance, sophistication and family-focused space surrounded by greenery.
Pressed metal ceilings, wall panels and polished floorboards enhance a flexible ground-floor layout that's filled with natural light. A large main bedroom with built-in robes extends through to a versatile fire-side retreat with space for a study/library or extra living. Further is a lounge room then a delightful living room with a fabulous fireplace before a spacious family/meals area spilling out to an entertainment deck.
The kitchen is a standout that everyone will love with its Bosch and ASKO appliances, stone benchtops and waterfall breakfast bench catering to every occasion, while further is a large modern bathroom with a sizable laundry area. Taking full advantage of its leafy creekside surroundings, first-floor accommodation will be heaven for the kids with three huge and distinctive bedrooms to spread out in and enjoy complemented by two additional bathrooms for absolute family harmony and convenience. Also offers ducted heating, split-system air-conditioning, lock-up sheds and under-house storage.
With its sublime connection to nature, the property comes into its own at the rear where a remarkably private and peaceful sanctuary scattered with tall gumtrees and birds is highlighted by a big BBQ deck, massive 72000-litre solar-heated pool, terraced lawns and additional land with creek frontage that's like your own park within your own garden offering potential to further improve.
Whether relaxing by the pool, wandering through nature or taking in the sensational creekside ambience, this is a place to truly unwind and enjoy life to the fullest with the best of both worlds - a tranquil lifestyle retreat that's close to Ivanhoe and Alphington Grammar Schools, parklands and walking trails, Ivanhoe shopping and cafes, Darebin train station and the freeway.
