53 Glenard Drive, Eaglemont, Vic 3084

This expansive family residence presents a rare opportunity to live in a prized semi-rural enclave, adjoining Yarra Flats parkland yet only 15 minutes from the CBD. One of Melbournes most notable planning ventures, the Glenard Estate was designed by Walter Burley Griffin in 1916. Plaques and walking trails testify to the areas earlier historic significance as a favourite painting spot for the artists of the Heidelberg School. The mature rear garden of 53 Glenard Drive, shaded by a superb maple ash, opens into Banksia Park, a shared private parkland integral to Burley Griffins inspired plan. Built in the 1960s, the light-filled house has a flexible floor plan, comprising a well-proportioned living room open to a dining room, large kitchen, four double bedrooms, a renovated bathroom, a vast informal living room/retreat with bathroom, and a full-size laundry. Including a broad entertaining deck, covered parking, gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling and polished timber floors, this attractive property is close to excellent schools, transport, shops and Yarra River parklands.
