Architectural presence on a grand corner

Commanding a prominent corner position at Carn Avenue and Upper Heidelberg Road, this substantial four-bedroom residence brings together impressive family scale, Distinctive art deco architecture with waterford windows and a floorplan designed to give everyone their own space. Its curved façade and broad banks of rounded windows immediately set it apart, while multiple living areas, a dedicated home office, two balconies with city views and a large rear garden make the home every bit as functional as it is memorable.

The ground floor carries much of the home’s living and entertaining space. A separate lounge is framed by sweeping windows and anchored by an open fireplace, creating a striking formal setting filled with natural light. The adjoining dining room opens directly to the rear, while a separate family room provides another relaxed living zone alongside the kitchen.

Generously appointed with abundant cabinetry, a dishwasher, double oven and breakfast bench, the kitchen is positioned alongside the family area and includes split-system air conditioning. Polished timber floors extend through much of the level, complemented by decorative cornices, ducted heating and the rich timber staircase at the centre of the home.

A large separate office creates an excellent work-from-home environment, while a ground-floor bedroom with built-in robes adds valuable flexibility for guests, older children or extended family. A central bathroom, substantial laundry and additional storage complete the lower level.

Upstairs, three further bedrooms and a media room form a private accommodation zone with a separate reverse cycle heating/cooling system to all rooms upstairs. Three include built-in robes, with one opening to its own balcony. The main bedroom adds a walk-in robe, private access to the two-way bathroom and a second balcony capturing elevated outlooks towards the city.

The outdoor setting expands the home’s family appeal further, with a broad lawn and covered entertaining deck providing room to gather, dine and play. A double garage with rear access is accompanied by an external storeroom, additional laundry and separate toilet.

Close to Ivanhoe’s Upper Heidelberg Road shopping and dining precinct, Ivanhoe Station, Ivanhoe Grammar School, Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School and Alphington Grammar, the address also places Austin Hospital, Mercy Hospital for Women, Warringal Private Hospital and extensive parklands within easy reach. A substantial Ivanhoe home with the space, character and flexibility to serve a family for years to come.
