24 Waverley Avenue, Ivanhoe, Vic 3079

SOLD by Miles Real Estate. If the walls of this character-filled residence had ears and told a tale, everyone who passed through the door would cheer and hail the heroic efforts of the 'Mother of the Park' and resident owner of 56 years, Sue Course.
Lobbying Premiers and Prime Ministers in the 1970s, Mrs Course was instrumental in saving this 33 hectare inner-city sanctuary and creating through voluntary dedication and toil what today is a unique nature and recreation reserve enjoyed by innumerable local residents and visitors. Rockbeare Park-Darebin Parklands is a UN World Environmental Day Award winner, home to an abundance of wildlife and tranquil time-out for users with its paths, trails and open spaces all stemming from the efforts of Sue Course that continued for 37 years of active committee and hands-on involvement. Within walking distance to this substantial slice of urban Eden, set your sights on a superb opportunity featuring potential parkland and city skyline views with this absolutely charming 1929 clinker brick home including north-facing rear and ROW.
Nestled on a 668m2 allotment (approx), this long-held classic with 1970s architect enhancement displays enormous character throughout it's generous four bedroom layout offering scope to further improve, fully renovate/extend up or build a beautiful brand new residence (STCA).
Moments to schools, train stations and quality shopping; the flexible floorplan offers study, two bathrooms, light-filled family room, lounge room, dining area, kitchen with Lofra stove, laundry, workshop, hydronic heating, evaporative cooling, air-conditioner, polished hardwood floors, landscaped gardens, ample off-street parking and raintank.
