Situated prominently on the elevated, prestigious Wallis Avenue in Ivanhoe East, this distinguished clinker brick family home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. The period façade, enriched by leadlight windows and traditional features such as an obeliscal chimney and arched entryway, presents an elegant first impression aligned with the home's classic English-inspired design.

Spanning two spacious levels, the residence offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms, accommodating a range of family living needs. The ground floor hosts two bedrooms, including a generous master suite equipped with air-conditioning, built-in robes, and a ceiling fan, enhancing comfort. An impeccably designed period-style bathroom complements this level’s layout.

Upstairs, two further bedrooms feature built-in robes, with one capturing breathtaking views of the Melbourne city skyline and vibrant sunsets, adding a unique lifestyle element. A contemporary bathroom alongside a separate toilet serves this floor, maintaining convenience and style.

The home's internal spaces are enhanced by high ceilings with decorative cornices and polished hardwood floors, providing a refined atmosphere ideal for entertaining. The formal lounge and dining room benefit from an inviting open fireplace and seamless flow to a central terrace courtyard, creating intimate and versatile social zones.

A modern double-glazed extension at the rear integrates contemporary living with the original charm, featuring a kitchen appointed with premium appliances including an Ilve range cooker and Miele dishwasher, a breakfast island, and ample storage solutions. Adjacent open-plan living and dining areas offer relaxed family spaces that extend through French doors onto a private paved terrace surrounded by mature gardens, ensuring a secure and tranquil outdoor environment.

Additional practical amenities include a large European-style laundry with storage, a lock-up shed, carport, and a remote-control garage equipped with a workshop area, further enhancing the home's functionality.

Set on an approximately 751sqm allotment with established gardens, the property represents a well-preserved family sanctuary that has been enhanced over time to meet contemporary needs while retaining its character. Its location provides easy access to parks, recreational paths along the Yarra River, local shopping villages, schools (both primary and private), public transport, and key facilities like the Austin Hospital and freeway.
