26 Parkin Street, Glen Iris

Enviably positioned in a tranquil, tree-lined street in a convenient position near shops, cafes and transport, this magnificent Georgian-style residence delivers beautifully spacious and flexible family living and entertaining spaces just metres to Lewin Reserve and the Gardiner’s Creek Trail. Entering the classically handsome double-storey home, a welcoming entrance hall with soaring ceilings and exquisite timber flooring sets the tone for the light-filled interiors and considered attention to detail in this exceptional offering. To the right, a dual aspect formal sitting room with views of the leafy front gardens is an elegant spot to relax or entertain guests during the winter months as it flows on to an equally stunning formal dining room. In the centre of the home, an expansive informal living and dining zone with vaulted ceiling is flooded with northern light and benefits from French doors opening up to the inviting resort-style deck and lawned area. An alfresco area with arbour and built-in Grillmaster barbecue seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor living. Back inside and keen chefs will be inspired by the wraparound stone kitchen with stainless Blanco appliances and extensive cabinetry including two large pantry cupboards. The ground floor also benefits from a spacious master suite with a well-appointed walk-in robe and stylish newly renovated ensuite with black tapware. A further bedroom at the rear of this floor is ideal as a teenage retreat or guest/aupair/parents’ accommodation as it’s serviced by an adjacent family bathroom. A charming staircase sweeps up to the first floor where a further four spacious bedrooms with vaulted ceilings allow room for a family to spread out with the flexibility to utilise one of them as a home office/retreat, if needed. The first floor also boasts a modern, newly renovated bathroom. Further appointments include a laundry, remote double garage with secure internal access and loft storage, hydronic heating, air conditioning, and low -maintenance gardens. Ideally positioned in a sought-after pocket, this exceptional family home is within walking distance of Tooronga Village Shopping Centre, local favourites like The Bakers Wife café, and, being close to Burke Road trams, Tooronga Train Station and the Monash freeway, also enjoys seamless access to wider Melbourne. With easy access to leading Melbourne schools as well as being in the zone for the well-regarded Auburn High School, this home is truly ideal for family enjoyment.
