Overview

Situated in a peaceful cul-de-sac adjacent to the expansive Darebin Parklands, this charming 1920s timber residence, known as 'Whinfell', offers a substantial 825sqm garden setting embraced by natural bushland. Its character-rich façade and sweeping views provide an inviting connection to the surrounding treed environment, creating a serene lifestyle not far from Ivanhoe's premier shopping and education precincts.

The home thoughtfully balances classic character with modern conveniences, featuring heritage fretwork along a wide entrance hallway that leads to three front bedrooms and a central bathroom equipped with both a bathtub and shower. The expansive master suite at the rear stands out with an open fireplace, ceiling fan, calming outlook, and direct veranda access, enhancing its appeal as a restful retreat.

The residence includes a second bathroom and separate laundry, adding practical functionality for family living. Relaxation and entertaining are effortlessly combined in the charming lounge warmed by an ornate fireplace, seamlessly flowing to an updated gourmet kitchen with quality stainless-steel appliances, including a Miele dishwasher, and elegant stone benchtops.

An open-plan dining and living area benefits from split-system air-conditioning and scenic treed views visible through French doors onto a timber deck that overlooks the large backyard—ideal for alfresco entertaining. Additional features include attic ladder storage, LED lighting, a rainwater tank, and a carport providing convenient off-street parking.

This established sanctuary in a coveted cul-de-sac offers future potential to renovate, extend or reimagine, subject to council approval. Its premium location close to Ivanhoe Village cafes, restaurants, schools, public transport, and healthcare facilities makes it well-suited for families or those seeking a tranquil yet connected lifestyle within a tightly-held community.
