22 Dalveen Road, Ivanhoe VIC 3079

5-bed modern build | 557m² lot | pool + solar | Ivanhoe family pocket This property presents a rare buying case in Ivanhoe: a near-new 5-bedroom house on a full 557m² lot, with a pool and solar already installed. For buyers seeking a turnkey family home in a strong owner-occupied street, the configuration—four bathrooms, four car spaces, and a 229m² floor area—removes the need for any immediate renovation or expansion. The 2023 build year means the house meets current energy and structural standards, which reduces maintenance risk over the next decade. It serves best for a family prioritising space, low upkeep, and proximity to Thornbury High and Ivanhoe Primary, with the pool adding lifestyle appeal that can differentiate the property in resale. The primary risk is the price gap between the listing range and the local median for 5-bedroom houses—this property is priced at a premium that may limit buyer pool depth. The 2021 sale at $1.112m for a 2-bedroom house shows the land alone was valued substantially lower, meaning the current price reflects the rebuild cost and recent market conditions, not land scarcity. For a buyer, the opportunity lies in negotiating from the lower end of the range, given the property has been on market only four days and inspection attendance may provide leverage. Hold this house as a long-term family home; its modern specification and school zone positioning should support steady capital growth in Ivanhoe’s stable owner-occupier market.
