61 Glenard Drive, Eaglemont, Vic 3084

This extensively renovated 4 BR residence with multiple living zones 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 Melbourne's most notable planning ventures, the Estate was designed by Walter Burley Griffin in 1916. The delightful landscaped garden of 61 Glenard Drive has on-title access to Banksia Park, a shared recreation area integral to Burley Griffin's inspired plan.

The luxuriant front garden opens to a wide timber-floored entry, leading to a double remote garage and a central hallway to the three lower level bedrooms (one with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite), a family bathroom and laundry, and handsomely-proportioned formal living and dining rooms with fine late Deco plaster ceilings and polished timber architraves. The dining room opens through French doors to a sunny north-facing deck. Flowing to a wide verandah overlooking the back garden is an expansive informal living and dining room, open on one side to the kitchen, equipped with quality cabinetry and European appliances. Set to the rear is a fully-fitted home office. Land size 723sqm approx.

The newly-finished upper level of this 1940s home incorporates the main bedroom - complete with luxury ensuite and walk-in wardrobe - a second fitted study and a vast family room/ retreat with built-in desk and access to ceiling storage. Close to schools, the Heidelberg hospital precinct and shopping centres, this exceptional property features ducted heating, a gas log fire, refrigerated and evaporative cooling, and premium appointments throughout.
