Refined Modern River Retreat With Excellent Extras

SOLD by Miles Real Estate. Country charm and modern comfort come together by the treelined banks of Yarra River parkland where this impeccably presented two-level residence offers a serene lifestyle surrounded by nature yet only moments to excellent amenities.

Nestled in a peaceful cul-de-sac with direct access to the adjoining Main Yarra Trail, the idyllic setting is one of Melbourne's most sought-after and this superbly designed home with beautiful garden aspects at every turn offers the ideal balance of elegant living and outdoor entertaining on a 719m2 north-facing rear allotment (approx) with secure parking from Gruyere Lane.

Complemented by a large and versatile, separate single-level studio delivering enormous flexibility as a home office, extra accommodation and more, this immaculate residence features a spacious three-bedroom layout including ground-floor parents' master bedroom (ensuite and walk-in robe) and two upstairs bedrooms (built-in robes and walk-in robe) accompanied by an open study/lounge area and a generous main bathroom.

A distinct yet cohesive floorplan perfectly blends functionality with style making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Formal lounge (gas fireplace) and dining rooms flow into a spacious light-filled family zone where a brilliantly updated Miele-appointed kitchen with a walk-in pantry caters to everything from casual family meals to sophisticated gatherings, while a custom-built wine cellar adds a touch of class.

There's also a ground-floor powder room and a laundry, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, split-system air-con, security alarm and ducted vacuum, while just outside amid glorious sun- drenched garden is an entertainment terrace, rainwater tanks and a double remote-control garage.

Desirably positioned within minutes of East Ivanhoe Village, quality schools, Burgundy Street, Heidelberg hospitals, public transport and freeway; comfort, convenience and a close connection to nature converge in the country lane-style setting of this peaceful and private home offering a rare river-side lifestyle opportunity.
