Description: SOLD by Miles Real Estate. Rising above its elite Fairy Hills surroundings capturing breathtaking views to the Dandenong Ranges, this substantial five bedroom and study residence delivers a rare combination of extensive family space, prized elevation and uninterrupted panoramic vistas. Standing proudly on the corner of Russell Street, a captivating brick façade immediately establishes a sense of stature and presence with a Queenslander-style wraparound veranda and a wide entrance hallway that signal the home's 1920s pedigree and the generous proportions found throughout. The ground floor unfolds through a series of refined formal spaces highlighting period character and scale, with an elegant living room and a fireside dining room complemented by a versatile home office (or bedroom with WIR), a bedroom and a central bathroom. The north-facing rear of the home is devoted to everyday living, where a fabulous kitchen and light-filled family area form a practical hub with direct connection to the outdoors. A Falcon dual-fuel range cooker, Miele dishwasher and walk-in pantry enhance the culinary experience, while the adjoining dining and sitting areas open to a sandstone-paved terrace, private lawn with a play space, and a double garage off Russell Street. The upper level is arranged as a substantial accommodation zone comprising four bedrooms (main with ensuite), each with built-in storage, fitted desks or study areas and split-system air conditioning, while there's also a handy study, a family bathroom and a separate toilet. The lower level adds another layer of flexibility to the floorplan, introducing a versatile retreat suited to a home theatre, additional living zone, a quiet workspace or even another bedroom. It offers built-in storage including dedicated wine storage, and provides valuable separation within the home, ideal for older children, extended family or those seeking a private breakout space. Completing the picture are well-considered appointments including ducted heating, multiple split-system units and a security alarm, plus there's further off-street parking at the front of the home. Offering exceptional accommodation, flexible zoning and commanding views in a blue-chip Ivanhoe setting, this expansive family residence holds genuine current-day and long-term lifestyle appeal only moments to Ivanhoe Grammar, primary school, village cafes and shopping, train station and endless river-side greenery including Chelsworth Park, nature trails and the golf course.
