29 Charteris Drive, Ivanhoe East

Mid-Century Charm Meets Blue-Ribbon Potential

SOLD by Miles Real Estate. Elevated at the rear overlooking a large and inviting established garden, this spacious cream brick residence presents an enticing blend of original mid-century character and outstanding potential on a blue-ribbon 780m2 allotment (approx).

Highly sought-after Charteris Drive is one of Ivanhoe East's most exclusive and while comfortable throughout with a flexible floorplan, this largely original home offers an unsurpassed opportunity to luxuriously renovate or build a stunning new domain with possible upper-level views towards Yarra River parkland (STCA).

Wide street frontage introduces this classic 1950s home's timeless and well-maintained interior that flows from a north-facing living room to a formal dining room before a versatile lounge room and a functional kitchen and meals area. A central vestibule opens to segmented shower and bathrooms along with a separate toilet while an accommodation wing includes four bedrooms with three offering built-in robes and a fourth or study/library fitted with a wall of bookshelves.

Authentic period features from fluted glass doors to retro light fittings are complemented by ducted heating, air-conditioning and ceilings fans. An elevated alfresco terrace offers fabulous views while there's also an external laundry, under-house storage and a double lock-up garage.

Nestled in a prestigious pocket between the vibrant East Ivanhoe Village and peaceful river parklands, this impressive property is poised for high-end transformation close to cafes, shops, nature trails, Ivanhoe shopping centre, train station and the Austin Hospital, along with primary and private schools.
