42 Rockbeare Grove

Ivanhoe VIC 3079

Spanning a vast layout of interconnected space, the ground-floor entry reveals a fitted home office and terracotta-floored dining area extending through to a bedroom (BIRs) and bathroom. Beyond is the sensational main bedroom which includes built-in robes and ensuite, and enjoys a tranquil bush outlook with sliding doors to a deck.

Also opening to the elevated entertainment deck is a spectacular open-plan family zone. Framed by a sail-like timber ceiling, full-height glazing and stunning vistas, this space encompasses sitting and living areas by a feature stone fireplace. This extends to a casual dining area and a corner kitchen with stainless-steel appliances that adjoins a full-size laundry.

The clever design incorporates a huge lower level, accessible both internally and externally, featuring a self-contained section with bedroom (BIR), bathroom and kitchenette. There is also a substantial rumpus room (OFP) and a massive multi-purpose room on a concrete floor that's ideal as a studio, additional living zone or possible extra accommodation.

Just outside under a canopy of gum trees is a paved alfresco terrace, with pathways gliding through native foliage to reach the banks of a billabong that wonderfully blurs the boundary of an unrivalled 764m2 allotment (approx).

Also offers solar electricity, ducted heating, split-system air-conditioning, alarm system and large remote-control garage.

An absolute one-of-a-kind property in a country-like setting, this remarkable home is a park-side retreat of rare appeal only moments from Ivanhoe's retail and restaurant precinct, primary and grammar schools, train station and Heidelberg's Austin and Mercy hospitals.
