50 Salisbury Avenue

Ivanhoe VIC 3079

This exceptionally spacious residence with dual street access, minutes from transport, leading schools and Ivanhoe Village, has been sympathetically extended in period style for large-scale family living and entertaining. Set in a mature garden, it has immediate street appeal. Entry from the broad verandah is to a wide entrance hall opening on one side to a large bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, and on the other to grand dining and living rooms linked by etched glass doors. Both formal rooms have splendid leadlight bay windows, open fireplaces and period joinery. Set across the rear of the house is a handsomely proportioned informal living and dining zone open to the stylish kitchen, equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite benches and timber cabinetry. A second double bedroom, family bathroom, study and a full-size laundry complete the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs, a well-proportioned family room/retreat open to a north-facing balcony leads off to three further good-sized bedrooms (one with ensuite bathroom); all three adjoin attic rooms, suitable for additional sleeping or study spaces.

To the rear, a huge entertaining deck with uninterrupted views of Darebin Parklands steps down to landscaped gardens and a double garage/workshop accessed from Rockbeare Grove. This magnificent property features fine period detail, ducted heating and generous storage space.
