Address available on request

Ivanhoe East is a quietly supercharged version of Ivanhoe proper, sought-after for its leafy streets, well-kept period houses and ongoing belief in the retail powers of strip shopping versus oversized shopping malls.

The phrase “tightly-held” isn’t mere hot air from real estate agents when it comes to this enclave of privilege, bordered by Maltravers Road to the north, Ivanhoe Public Golf Course to the south, the Yarra River to the east and Townsend Street to the west.

This pocket of privilege has recently entered the $2 million median house price club, outclassing Ivanhoe proper where the median stands at $1,515,000 million.

Part of its charm is the air of seclusion generated by the river, bike trails and parkland, although the nearby freeway will take commuters to the city in less than 10 minutes (not in peak hour, of course).
Offered for sale here is a well-prepared, beautifully presented family home that consists of three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a two-bedroom studio or home office/consulting suites.
Polished floor boards throughout the home and a stone bench topped kitchen sprawl out and into an outdoor living and entertaining zone that must be seen to be believed. The backyard offers ample room for a growing family or easy Sunday BBQ’S and family get togethers.
