Overview

Parkside Position, Rare Scale and Endless Possibility

Set on a rare deep block in one of Glen Iris's most charming tree-lined streets, this substantial four-bedroom home presents an exceptional opportunity for families seeking space, flexibility and long-term potential. Backing directly onto Hill 'n' Dale Park with a coveted north-facing rear garden and parkland views, this property offers a lifestyle of remarkable scale and appeal. The home itself provides generous and versatile family living across a well-considered floor plan. Formal living, dining, and bedrooms retain charming late Edwardian character, including three original fireplaces, while a spacious open-plan family zone at the rear opens to a large entertainer's terrace and the expansive garden beyond. Four bedrooms are complemented by two bathrooms, a skylit laundry and two separate toilets. A secondary entrance at the rear adds everyday convenience for busy families, while the separation of living spaces at either end of the home allows for privacy and adaptability as family needs evolve. The home is perfectly liveable now while offering outstanding scope to reimagine, renovate, construct a luxury new residence or explore development potential (STCA). Adding further appeal, existing plans designed by Zeno Entity Architects for a striking single dwelling provide a ready-made pathway to reimagine the site. Beyond the home, the deep allotment is the true highlight. An extensive driveway leads to a double lock-up garage with a versatile adjoining room, ideal as a studio, home gym or additional storage. The rear garden itself is a remarkable space, framed by established trees and overlooking the parkland beyond. Families will appreciate the proximity to leading schools, including Glen Iris Primary, Korowa, Sacré Cur and Caulfield Grammar. The vibrant Ashburton Village is just moments away for everyday shopping and dining, as is Coles Local in Glen Iris, while Glen Iris Road and High Street offers a wonderful selection of cafés, boutiques and essential services. Gardiners Creek Trail, Ferndale Park and the surrounding parklands provide beautiful walking and cycling paths, and excellent public transport connections and freeway access ensure the wider city is always within easy reach. A singular offering for the discerning family buyer, combining scale, location and long-term potential in one remarkable package.
