Crossaints, coffee and chardonnay: The doorstep amenity at Candela Ivanhoe
Salter Brothers' latest development, Candela Ivanhoe, is set to bring a range of lifestyle amenities to the heritage-rich suburb of Ivanhoe in Melbourne.
Designed by architect John Demos and interior designer Kathy Demos, Candela Ivanhoe offers 62 smart and flexible apartments across six light-filled levels, designed to suit all purchasers whether they be downsizers, first home buyers, couples, or families.
Beyond the private living spaces, Salter Brothers has integrated several community-oriented and environmentally-friendly features.
Starting on the ground floor is Candela’s providore and in-house café, providing residents with convenient access to artisan food and barista-quality coffee.
The cafe doubles up as a wine bar to become a great meeting spot for anytime of the day.
Fitness enthusiasts can participate in exercise classes on the rooftop garden or simply lounge around with neighbours in the alfresco atrium.
Salter Brothers has also incorporated a range of initiatives to promote energy efficiency, harness renewable energy, and create a community that prioritises the environment.
The installation of double-glazed windows and a 25kW solar array on the rooftop has earned the development a remarkable 7-star NatHERS average energy rating, surpassing the 6-star energy rating average.
Rainwater tanks are also strategically placed to collect water for reuse in toilet flushing and irrigation.
This not only benefits the environment but also significantly reduces the Owner’s Corporation costs, making sustainable living accessible to all.
Candela Ivanhoe will be situated just a six-minute walk from Ivanhoe Station, in a prime location with a walk score of 90/100.
Residents will enjoy convenient in-building amenities and easy access to local amenities, including nearby parks, restaurants, and prestigious schools.
