28 Glen Street
Hawthorn

Privately and securely positioned behind a high front wall, this substantial solid-brick, two-storey family residence is well set back from the street, nestled within a lush landscaped garden framed by mature trees. Occupying a coveted position in the prestigious Scotch Hill precinct, the home enjoys a setting in one of Melbourne’s most sought-after residential areas.

Reflecting the gracious proportions of its era, a blend of Art Deco elegance and modern comfort, the home is enhanced by superb contemporary living and entertaining spaces both inside and out. Slate-paved outdoor entertaining areas and low-maintenance gardens overlook an in-ground pool and spa, creating the perfect setting for relaxing with family and friends.

The elegant interior features a subtle, neutral-toned décor, complemented by functional family living spaces and flexibility throughout the floor plan. A parquetry entrance foyer sets an elegant tone with a curving staircase and opens to a formal living room where floor-to-ceiling glass windows frame delightful garden vistas. To the rear, an open-plan living and dining area overlooks the pool, while a separate barrel ceiling sitting room provides an additional space to relax. A downstairs guest bedroom with built-in robes is complemented by a well-appointed laundry and a powder room with shower. A further four generously proportioned bedrooms are situated upstairs, all with built-in robes, including a lavish main bedroom with an ensuite and study or office. The remaining bedrooms share a pristine family bathroom.

The expansive, north-west-facing family domain is designed to capture abundant natural light through tall windows and French doors. It incorporates a superbly appointed kitchen equipped with black granite benchtops and prestige Miele appliances, seamlessly connecting to the private outdoor spaces.

Other desirable features include intercom entry, an alarm, hydronic heating, overhead fans and reverse-cycle air conditioners in the family room and upstairs bedrooms. A wonderful sense of warmth and ambience flows throughout the living areas, complemented by three fireplaces — an open fireplace, an electric fireplace and a gas fire - offering comfort and atmosphere in every season. Additional features include remote gates opening to two separate driveways and garages providing off-street parking, with secure internal access, solar panels, and a garden watering system.

This superb family residence offers an exceptional lifestyle close to a wide range of shopping, cafés and dining options, including Glenferrie Road, Camberwell Junction, Tooronga Complex and the eclectic Auburn Village. It is within minutes of numerous prestigious schools, including Scotch College, MLC, Bialik and Auburn South

Primary School, as well as Swinburne University. Just moments away, Kooyong and Fairview Parklands, playgrounds, the velodrome and skatepark, along with the Gardiners Creek trails, provide easy access to an array of recreational options.
