278 Glenlyon Road

An inspired reinvention at the quiet end of Glenlyon road Following a substantial renovation and extension, this period home has taken on an entirely new chapter. Thoughtfully designed to maximise natural light and create a stronger connection between indoor and outdoor living, the result is a home that feels spacious, refined and beautifully considered, with high-quality finishes and a sense of understated luxury throughout. Set within landscaped garden surrounds, a wide hallway with high ceilings and engineered timber floors introduces three large bedrooms with built-in robes, including a main bedroom with a stylish ensuite. A central bathroom, appointed with a separate bath and walk-in shower, serves the remaining bedrooms. Extended to the rear, an expansive open plan entertainers' kitchen, dining and living area with a gas log fire forms the social heart of the home, where vaulted ceilings, spectacular natural light and leafy garden outlooks combine to create an impressive sense of space and warmth. The kitchen is exceptionally well appointed, featuring an induction cooktop, integrated refrigerator and freezer, a freestanding island bench with breakfast bar and ample storage. A wall of glass blurs the line between indoors and out, opening to an alfresco dining area with a built-in barbecue and a private garden retreat that provides a peaceful setting for entertaining or unwinding outdoors. Additional highlights include a remote garage with internal access from White Street, accompanied by a versatile studio space complete with space for a studio or the addition of a home office or fourth bedroom (subject to Council approval), plus a separate laundry, heating and cooling throughout, quality window furnishings, pull-down attic storage, double glazing, custom-built cabinetry and operable Velux skylights. Positioned at the quieter end of Glenlyon Road, it is a location that caters beautifully to urban life, with Merri Creek's parks and trails, trams, East Brunswick Village, North Fitzroy Village, local cafés and shops all within easy reach. It is also zoned for Merri Creek Primary School and Northcote High School.
