18 Hartlands Road, Ivanhoe East, Vic 3079

Rarely does a property of such distinctive character and extraordinary potential come to market. Held by the same family for over 60 years, this mid-century treasure offers a lifestyle and location that are simply unmatched, set on an expansive 920m² block with direct access to Hartlands Road Reserve, encapsulating a bygone era of craftsmanship, while offering endless opportunities for the future.

Defined by its rich history and original mid-century charm, a grand foyer entrance with timber accents and skylights flood the interiors with natural light across four bedrooms and an authentically retro bathroom. The spacious central living zone with a working fireplace opens seamlessly to the outdoors, where a deep, private backyard oasis awaits! Towering mature trees, an exceptionally large circular swimming pool and paved alfresco area evoke a sense of retreat, while the established vegetable gardens and leafy surroundings enhance the connection to nature—right on the doorstep with adjoining park.

Inside, the master suite offers unique flexibility, with timber ceilings, a walk-in robe, ensuite and kitchenette, plus a separate laundry, dining room and kitchen equipped with breakfast bench seating offering a nod to the home’s unique heritage and nostalgic setting for family meals. Add to this, ducted heating, storage shed, triple carport and a huge lower-level wine cellar sure to impress even the most discerning of collectors! 

Combining a rich history with enormous potential for future reimagining through a new home build, renovation, or redevelopment (STCA), the scope for transformation is endless, surrounded by elite schools, vibrant cafes, Ivanhoe East Village, and easy access to transport and Yarra River parklands. Rarely does an opportunity like this present itself—a family haven with a storied past, ready to be redefined for the next generation. Make it yours!
