THE SEARCH
For the family ready to trade compromise for proportion, privacy and a garden oasis.
Established from the street and private once inside, the scale is immediate - wide hallways, high ceilings and a floorplan stretching confidently from front to back.
Across almost twenty rooms - from five bedrooms to four dedicated retreats and a separate self-contained studio - the depth is unmistakable.
This is a home that doesn't compress around a busy household. It absorbs it.
Space to gather. Space to separate. Space for every version of family life.
THE STORY
Meet The Retreat on Victoria Road.
A home of rare continuity - cherished by just two owners since it was built. Behind the established frontage, the home reveals itself in layers.
At the front, the formal sitting room sets the tone - soaring coffered ceiling, grand fireplace and a wide lead-light bay window framing the garden.
Further in, life gathers in the kitchen. A farmhouse style where dinner is prepared, stories are shared, and no one ever quite leaves when they say they will.
Doors slide back and the alfresco becomes another outdoor retreat. Covered, layered in greenery, a long table under the pergola with a quiet Mediterranean ease.
Upstairs, bedrooms and retreat spaces branch across levels. Bedrooms with balconies opening to treetops and the city skyline. And beyond it all, the separate studio stands apart: self-contained, ready for work, guests, or a version of life that needs its own door.
THE LIFE
All of it within walking distance to Auburn Village, moments to Camberwell Junction, trains close enough that the city never feels far.
Morning drop-offs at Auburn Primary, some of Melbourne's leading private schools just minutes away. A heritage-protected position where the character of the street is preserved.
This is the life.
