55 Summerhill Road, Glen IrisVIC

Sensational space, seductive style, and contemporary luxuries are the framework for this sprawling residence, featuring five bedrooms with ensuites, two home offices, and five enormous living domains. Nestled beyond a leafy screening and secure gates among quaint heritage surrounds, the home welcomes guests through a wide portico entry into its glamorous interior.

Traversed by gleaming Spotted Gum floorboards, the home provides adjacent lounge and dining rooms, offering modern flexibility as spaces for kids’ play, home media, or a gymnasium. Beside a cosy gas fireplace, a vast family domain nurtures everyday living and indoor-outdoor entertaining, adjoining a rumpus room with the option to integrate for en-masse celebrations or to close off for private relaxation. At the heart of the home, an immense kitchen mingles guests over a huge hostess island, offering an array of European appliances and a butler’s pantry for easy catering, while smartly dressed in lustrous stone benches. Outside, a north-facing deck delivers sundrenched alfresco enjoyment among lush, private gardens.

Upstairs, a family retreat indulges quiet nights together, bordered by three secondary bedrooms with walk-in robes and ensuites, lavishly sized for rest and study. A choice of upper and lower master bedrooms indulges parental sanctuary or extended family living, including a luxe dressing room and a home office to the upstairs bedroom. A second home office downstairs completes the floorplan, along with a large laundry, a guest powder room, and an internal access double garage.

An idyllic place to call home, this family-favoured locale is located within paces of Hill ‘n Dale Park and the Ferndale walking trail, Ashburton’s and Hartwell’s eateries and shopping, plus Burwood Station and city-bound trams, while within minutes of leading public and private schools, including zoning for the esteemed Hartwell Primary and Camberwell High schools.
