18 Ida Street

Cherished by the same family since 1971, this distinctive two storey home combines Art Deco character with flexible family living. A 1977 facelift and extension created a generous layout with decorative ceilings, a spacious lounge and sliding doors through to the dining area. The much loved kitchen gathers everyone around its round bench, with vintage tiles, gas cooktop, wall oven/grill. Outside, a raised entertaining area with wood-fired oven complements the rear garage/workshop and bungalow or hobby room.

Three downstairs bedrooms, including the front main, feature built-in robes, while two upstairs bedrooms open onto a spacious north-facing balcony; one includes an ensuite. A central bathroom features a skylight and shower/bath, complemented by a separate laundry, toilet and under-stair storage. Comforts include Brivis evaporative cooling, ducted heating, and remote external shutters. Positioned moments from Merri Creek bike trails, Sydney Road tram routes, and an array of local shops.
