Held and cherished for 37 years, this owner-designed residence stands as a rare expression of family thinking, enduring craftsmanship and remarkable foresight in the tightly held Glen Iris Hill Estate. Built not for resale, but for real life, it is a home where its scale and flexibility still feel exceptional today.
Set on a low-maintenance 745sqm (approx.) block, the six-bedroom, three-bathroom floorplan was conceived around a large family that needed room to come together and room to retreat. Three living zones — the refined sunken formal lounge and dining, the fireside open-plan living area and the elevated billiard room — unfold in a visually connected sequence, rising gently across two sets of steps so that the entire ground floor reads as one from the moment you enter. Bi-fold doors allow each zone to close independently, giving the home the ability to host clients in the formal lounge while the family continues freely beyond.
At its heart, the white American Oak kitchen anchors the living domain with warmth, storage and timeless quality, while the large undercover alfresco keeps everything beautifully connected for larger gatherings. Lime-finished American Oak cabinetry runs throughout the home, alongside solid timber leadlight entry doors, an elaborate staircase, high ceilings with elegant cornices and a warmth of finish that only 37 careful years can produce.
The accommodation reflects the same intelligence. Upstairs, a dedicated children’s wing with three bedrooms, extensive robing and a deluxe bathroom sits privately apart from the parents’ zone, which combines a fifth bedroom/home office, central study, kitchenette and an oversized main bedroom with spa ensuite, 13ft walk-in robe and a large balcony with elevated city glimpses and New Year’s Eve fireworks. Downstairs, a sixth bedroom with close bathroom access provides an ideal arrangement for extended family, guests or long-term flexibility.
Extensive parking for up to 6 cars, an oversized double garage with concealed tool shed and rear access, circular driveway, ducted climate control, intercom, zoned alarm, ducted vacuum, camera surveillance and a beautifully maintained garden complete the appeal of a genuine one-of-a-kind home.
Moments from Glen Iris Primary School, Ashburton Village and train station, recreational parklands, elite private schools, Chadstone Shopping Centre, Deakin and Monash universities, and the Monash Freeway, this is a blue-ribbon family address with lasting significance.
