This beautiful wide front Art Deco home is ideally located in close proximity to shops and cafes. This particular area of Ivanhoe boasts an abundance of Art Deco homes that have been thoughtfully updated. The recent renovation of 40 St Elmo serves as a great example of a modern interior design that is currently on-trend. As soon as you step inside, you'll be greeted by a lovely ambiance that permeates throughout the home.
One aspect that I find less favourable is the location of the kitchen. It is not ideal for it to be positioned in the main hub of the home, but I understand that the current owners had to work within the existing floor plan to avoid extensive structural modifications, which would have incurred significant costs during the renovation process.
It's worth noting that a neighbouring property on the same street recently sold for $2,302,000 after being extended and renovated. This sale demonstrates the strong demand for large family homes that have undergone modernisation. However, one consideration with this particular home is whether the living zones adequately cater to the needs of contemporary families. It is possible that the living space falls short of what many families are currently seeking.
Overall, this home presents an appealing opportunity for those who appreciate the charm of Art Deco architecture and desire a convenient location. While there may be some limitations, the potential for value appreciation and demand for renovated family homes in this area suggests promising prospects for the future.
