Behind its original 1886 façade, Ivanhoe reveals an unexpected architectural transformation, a home where heritage detail, rich interiors and a substantial contemporary extension come together with real confidence.

Set across 2,155sqm, the original double-brick cottage retains its sense of history through timber floors, original ceiling boards and period fireplaces, while deep forest-green interiors give the front of the home a distinctly modern edge. A dedicated two-person study with integrated joinery adds a beautifully resolved work-from-home space.

The primary suite continues the rich material palette, with a walk-through robe leading to a refined ensuite, before a light-filled passageway creates a dramatic transition from the original cottage into the 2024 Rofebuild extension.

Here, the scale changes completely. Soaring raked ceilings, high-set glazing and polished concrete floors define the expansive kitchen, dining and living area, balanced by warm timber joinery and a substantial brick fireplace. The kitchen is designed equally for everyday living and entertaining, with 2-pac polyurethane cabinetry, induction cooktop, a generous polished-concrete island, brick splashback and a well-appointed butler's pantry.

Large openings extend the living spaces onto an elevated entertaining deck with built-in outdoor kitchen, overlooking established gardens and the fully fenced rear yard.

Accommodation is cleverly spread across the home, with two additional bedrooms and the main bathroom on the lower level and a private guest suite upstairs with its own ensuite. A generous laundry and mudroom, extensive built-in cabinetry and direct access to the garage ensure the practical spaces are just as considered.
