Steeped in history and offered for the first time in over 50 years, "Marba" is a distinguished Interwar Bungalow built in 1923 as part of Ivanhoe's renowned Rockbeare Estate subdivision. 

Set amid beautifully manicured gardens on an expansive 915m2 (approx.) allotment, this impeccably maintained three-bedroom residence presents a rare opportunity to enjoy timeless period elegance today while exploring exceptional possibilities for the future.

From the welcoming covered porch, an elegant entrance foyer immediately sets the tone with its rich timber panelling and intricate decorative fretwork.

 Generous formal living and dining rooms sit either side, each centred around an original open fireplace, while the living room's striking box bay window with built-in seating creates a delightful place to relax and admire the garden outlook.

The thoughtfully designed floorplan offers three spacious bedrooms. One bedroom enjoys direct access to a light-filled north-facing sunroom, while the central bathroom includes a full-sized bath and retains the home's classic character.

At the heart of the home, the generous kitchen provides excellent storage, a separate meals area and a traditional serving hatch connecting seamlessly to the formal dining room.

Throughout the residence, warm timber detailing, original fireplaces, polished timber flooring, soaring ceilings, and exposed beams celebrate the craftsmanship of its era, creating an inviting atmosphere that has been lovingly preserved across generations.

Beyond the home, the outdoor spaces offer outstanding flexibility for entertaining and family enjoyment. A covered patio extends directly from the house, while a substantial paved rear entertaining precinct features a large, covered pavilion complete with its own powder room. 

A garage, oversized carport and substantial water tank further enhance everyday practicality.

Perfectly positioned within walking distance of Ivanhoe Village, Ivanhoe and Darebin train stations, Darebin Parklands, Ivanhoe Primary School, Mary Immaculate Primary School and many of Melbourne's finest independent schools, Marba represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure an iconic family home where rich heritage, generous proportions and remarkable future potential come together in one exceptional address.
