We’ll always have time for a good apartment, especially the kind that gets the fundamentals right without trying too hard. This week’s Ivanhoe find does exactly that. Set within a retro block with real character, this first-floor two-bedroom stands out for its generous proportions, natural light and a layout with a good flow. It’s a reminder of why these older buildings continue to hold their own, built in an era that got the design so right.
Set well back from the street, there’s an immediate sense of privacy that carries through the apartment. Inside, the scale is a pleasant surprise, with a generously sized living and dining room that opens out to a balcony, adding another layer to an already well-proportioned space. Alongside, the kitchen sits separately and is filled with natural light, updated with stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher and good storage space that's actually useable. For sleeping, there are two large bedrooms, both with built-in robes, with the main bedroom looking out to Ivanhoe’s town hall clock tower. The bathroom includes a separate bath and shower, along with a combined laundry and storage.

With off-street parking and split-system heating and cooling already sorted, the practical side is taken care of. From here, Ivanhoe’s shops, transport, schools and parks are all just a short walk away, which makes the location hard to argue with.
