Jaw-dropping transformation of 70s brick home in top Melbourne suburb

Showcasing the ultimate in modern luxury, this brand new Melbourne home complete with pool, and tennis court leaves nothing wanting.

This stunning brand new home in Camberwell fulfils every desire of modern living, from the high end finishes to the large shimmering pool and guest’s residence.

Once home to a humble 1970s brick family residence, this large 1136 sqm site at 13 Allambee Avenue has undergone an impressive transformation since it was snapped up by a local builder for $3.391 million in May 2024.

A stunning new two-storey main residence built in its place offers family resort-style living, from the elegant custom details to the entertainment areas.

“It’s hard to see where this one really doesn’t tick the box on pretty much every criteria that most buyers are after,” Mike Beardsley of Jellis Craig Boroondara said.

“It was bought by a local builder who’s done a number of new builds in the area. All their homes sell very well because they produce quality and with a large team behind them, they produce something the market certainly resonates with.”

Highlights of the impressive interior include a second foyer entry lined with heated cobblestones beneath a feature porthole ceiling, expansive glass walls, a New York-style bar, and huge island bench and butler’s pantry in the well-appointed kitchen.

The ground floor main bedroom includes a sitting area, built-in storage, dressing station and ensuite with double vanity and walk-in shower.

Upstairs, you can find a study and another four bedrooms, two of them with ensuites.

The home’s interior boasts multiple living zones and enjoys north facing views of the tennis court and leafy gardens.

The resort-style backyard includes a shimmering 14-metre pool, spa and alfresco shower as well as the night-lit tennis court, gym, sauna and ensuite.

The second residence is self-contained and includes a full kitchen, open living and dining area, bathroom, lounge and bedroom with ensuite, perfect to accommodate guests or family.

Mr Beardsley said the property – advertised with a price guide of $6.75 – $7.25 million – has so far drawn the interest of mostly young families and upsizers from the local area as well as interstate.

“It will be I feel trailblazing for the area, based on the quality that is drawing people there,” he said.

“There’s nothing really sold in and around the Allambee Avenue like that.

“It’s just very hard to find fault with it for that buyer profile – the upsizing growing family, sending their kids to private schools in the area. There’s no box it doesn’t tick, from an entertainer’s home where kids have got plenty to do, to parents also looked after as well with the pool and tennis court.”

The property is within walking distance from coveted private schools and village cafes, shops, trams, trains and parklands.

“It’s one of the best properties to hit the market this year because of the quality and lifestyle it offers,” Mr Beardsley added.

Expressions of interest close October 28.
