2/132-134 Marshall Street, Ivanhoe, VIC 3079

A blue-ribbon, treelined position amid some of Ivanhoe's most treasured family properties sets an exceptionally appealing scene for this superbly designed, ground-floor apartment that comes with the extraordinary added benefit of its very own private courtyard garden.

Larger than most similar offerings in an impressive indoor-outdoor setting, this secluded two bedroom home combines the ideal proportions of older-style architecture with quality modern enhancement throughout a bright single-level interior with a desirable separation of space.

Dual entry front and rear leads to a surprisingly spacious, low-maintenance oasis that complemented by split-system heating and cooling for all-seasons' comfort, is impeccably presented for the instant enjoyment of a range of buyers from downsizers seeking a villa unit alternative to eager first-timers and savvy investors.

An entrance hall vestibule is central to the layout that fans out in all directions so that everyday activity is contained to five separate yet interconnected areas for effortless practicality, comfortability and privacy.

Full-width glazing and a whitewashed brickwork wall create an irresistibly light ambience in a wonderful living and dining room that flows flawlessly out to the picturesque backdrop of a high-fence courtyard garden including a paved alfresco patio.

A well-appointed modern kitchen with full electric appliances makes for easy preparation of meals, while further are two superb bedrooms including built-in robes (the bigger main overlooks the garden), a separate toilet and a sizable bathroom incorporating a bathtub beside a shower plus a laundry area.

Few apartments in such a prestigious area can claim a courtyard garden as well as an off-street carport on title, so make the move with absolute confidence and savour the outstanding convenience of easy access to Ivanhoe Village shops, supermarkets, cafes and restaurants, the train station, local primary school, Ivanhoe and Chelsworth Parks and Yarra River nature trails, along with proximity to Burgundy Street and the Austin & Mercy Hospitals.
