Set within Springthorpe Estate a closely-held, master-planned community shaped by the award-winning redevelopment of the historic Mont Park site this privately-entered two-bedroom residence delivers a rare combination of turnkey comfort, exceptional practicality, and the genuine community fabric that defines life at Springthorpe.
Unfolding across two thoughtfully considered levels, the home opens into a light-filled upstairs living, dining and kitchen domain framed by striking full-height glazing that draws the eye to a broad, recently upgraded travertine-tiled balcony an elegant outdoor setting for entertaining or quiet retreat. The kitchen is refined and functional, anchored by a central island, sleek cabinetry and quality finishes, while a dedicated retreat and study zone adds welcome flexibility for working from home or relaxed living.
Accommodation comprises two well-proportioned bedrooms with built-in robes, including a main bedroom enhanced by a versatile nook ideal as a reading corner or workspace. The fully renovated bathroom delivers a fresh, contemporary finish with quality fittings and a cleverly integrated laundry, while split system heating and cooling ensures year-round comfort. Downstairs, a generously-sized secure tandem garage with additional storeroom delivers exceptional practicality a feature rarely found in two-bedroom residences and particularly valuable for buyers seeking workshop space, bike storage or a second vehicle. The home's own private entrance offers a sense of quiet separation that further distinguishes it from neighbouring units.
Life at Springthorpe extends well beyond the front door. Residents enjoy complimentary access to the Springthorpe Country Club the genuine community heart of the estate featuring a solar-boosted swimming pool heavily patronised through the warmer months, night-lit tennis courts, a fully equipped gymnasium, a large function room, an intimate meeting space, a fully appointed kitchen, a children's play area and a generous pool-side lawn, all available for exclusive private booking by residents. A dedicated Country Club employee coordinates a year-round calendar of much-loved events including the annual car boot sale, a separate classic car show, Easter egg hunt, Christmas BBQ and seasonal family activities, fostering the kind of neighbourhood connection increasingly rare in contemporary Melbourne. The complex itself a cohesive group of eighteen residences maintains a strong owner-occupier culture and an active owners corporation.
The estate is woven together by a network of landscaped greenspaces linking residents to the adjacent nine-hole Strathallan Golf Club, Gresswell Forest Reserve and surrounding nature corridors. Macleod Village a comfortable 1520 minute walk offers a supermarket, post office, cafés, real estate and health services, a YMCA gym and sporting facility, with the Macleod Recreational Reserve hosting regular council-run community events in a generous playspace and park. In the other direction, Rosanna's newly completed library and community hub provides further professional services. Connectivity is exceptional: an electric bus stops directly outside the complex, serving Ivanhoe and La Trobe University directly across Plenty Road, the Plenty Road tram is a three-minute drive, and both Macleod and Watsonia stations are within comfortable walking distance. The property also falls within sought-after school zoning and sits moments from Ivanhoe Grammar's University Campus and Parade College.
