MCN Property's Maltraver development occupies a prime position a stone's throw from both Ivanhoe train station and it's renowned shopping precinct.

The boutique collection of just 16 boutique residences at 162 Maltravers Road.

With a Frank Lloyd Wright prairie influence, the Samantha Eades-designed residences come in one, two and three-bedroom configurations, in addition to one exclusive penthouse.  

Cleverly concealed within the pitch of the roof, the penthouse spans 245 sqm over three levels, opening out to an expansive terrace with unobstructed views of the valley.

Featuring a juxtaposition of traditional building materials alongside modern finishes, off-form concrete, Daniel Robertson bricks, feature stone work, batons and shrouds make up the buildings form, while internally the floorplates follow an open-plan layout.

Each residence features spacious living and dining areas with warm timber floorboards and delicate white walls, allowing for personalised styling, with the two areas designed to complement one another.

Culinarians will undoubtedly be satisfied with the kitchen offering, featuring stone benchtops and splashback, Fisher & Paykel cooking appliances, integrated dishwasher and the convenient option to include a large fully-integrated refrigerator, the spaces also have the further option to accomodate for breakfast-bar seating.

 

Architecturally considered feature joinery is featured throughout all the apartments with LED linear lighting to provide for a unique and comforting setting.

Beyond the confines of the living zones, sun dappled terraces enveloped by green accents provide entertaining options and encourage residents to connect with the outdoor environment.

Bathrooms include floor-to-ceiling tiles, with the white finger tiles bringing a vertical quality to the spaces, coupled with textured wood laminate vanities, architectural lighting, clear shower screens, back to wall toilets and architectural tapware.

Sitting just nine-kilometres north-east of Melbourne’s CBD, Ivanhoe is renowned for its tranquil, tree-lined streets and historic urban setting. The nearby Ivanhoe village offers a selection of retail and hospitality amenity, including fashion boutiques, cafes, supermarkets, recreational facilities, and a vast array of local parks and walking trails.
