8 Erica Avenue

Glen Iris VIC 3146

A second bedroom with built-in cabinetry overlooks a verdant bamboo garden, serviced by a terrazzo-tiled bathroom with a rain shower over the bath. Beyond, an inviting media and sitting room centres on a built-in daybed at the picture window, with linear travertine shelving and views to the pool and rear garden.

The central living pavilion is entirely its own experience. A barn ceiling soars within sweeping Bush-hammered concrete arches and travertine, while a striking sculpted fireplace marks the transition from living to dining. The kitchen centres on a vast marble island with integrated Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, while a butler's pantry, desk nook, a dedicated and discreet home office, generous laundry, and a powder room ensure that an intuitive family life is woven into the design. A casual banquette seating area is framed by curved glazing, with a wall of glass opening from the grand open-plan living and dining domain to an expansive north-facing brick terrace, heated pool, spa and barbecue, all enveloped by secluded natural garden surrounds.
Upstairs via a sculptural curved skylit staircase, two generous bedroom suites each offer their own world. Walk-through robes lead to built-in study desks set against terraces of tropical greenery, while fully tiled ensuites feature curved rain showers and marble vanities. A central retreat provides a versatile shared living space.

Few homes at any level can claim garaging of this calibre. Direct street-level access from Irymple Avenue leads to a vast, light-filled pavilion space for five-plus cars, equipped with an in-floor Maha car lift that retracts underground, freeing the entire floor. Connected to the home yet self-contained enough to serve as a studio, home business or guest accommodation, it is one of the property's most significant and versatile assets.

In-floor heating runs throughout the home, supported by ducted and split-system climate control, CCTV, and an alarm. Engineered European Oak floors, Roman Travertine, American Oak joinery, Spotted Gum and fully tiled bathrooms speak to a material integrity of the highest order.

Walk to Central Park village and cafes, Harold Holt Swim Centre and Gardiner Station. Close to excellent schooling, including Sacr Cur, Korowa, Malvern Primary and Caulfield Grammar, with Malvern Central and Chadstone nearby.
Rare, considered and built without compromise. For the family that values craftsmanship, privacy and genuine liveability, this is a home without equal.
