Enjoying a prestigious corner block in idyllic Ivanhoe East, this enchanting family residence is an exquisite blend of warmth, character and old-world charm. Set within a lush garden setting, this sprawling layout lends beautifully to a growing family seeking their own private sanctuary close to schools, shops and transport.
Enter through the delightful sunroom basking in a gorgeous leafy aspect, while the spacious formal lounge and separate comfortable family room each share a rustic side of the original brick fireplace. Enjoy family meals in the large light-filled dining area, serviced by the pristine central kitchen with ample cabinetry, tiled splashback, quality appliances and a wide breakfast bar for casual meals. Underfloor ducted heating makes for toasty winters throughout the main floor.
Upstairs opens to a huge rumpus room flowing beneath a soaring sloped ceiling, ideal for a games room or additional lounge with ceiling fans, heater, study nook and a tidy bathroom. Two large bedrooms feature built-in robes, ceiling fans, built-in desks and versatile timber lofts, while downstairs offers a generous third bedroom with a wide built-in robe and lovely bay windows.
