Record-breaking Hamlyn Heights home now chasing first $2m sale

A Hamlyn Heights trophy home reminiscent of a luxury hotel is poised to smash its own suburb price record.

The custom four-bedroom showpiece at 2 Heritage Drive could notch up the area’s first $2m sale after previously changing hands for $1.815m in 2018.

A resort-style indoor/outdoor swimming pool, bar and oversized spa in the main bedroom are among flashy features expected to set buyers back $2.1m.

But the luxury trappings don’t stop there.

The dining room also features a showstopping hand-blown Spanish glass chandelier so heavy it required the roof to be reinforced.

Buxton listing agent Roger Pedretti said it would probably cost upwards of $3m to replace the two-storey home today.

He said while not in a premium suburb, the 692sq m property’s panoramic views over Geelong, proximity to Kardinia International College and high-end build quality more than compensated.

“It is one of the best homes I have been through,” he said.

“I have had people that were looking at the Newtown area and they’ve come my way because obviously pound for pound you are getting a lot more.

“If the house was in Newtown you’d probably be looking at $4m.”

Entertainment options are on steroids at the home, which has two enclosable rooms with outdoor kitchens plus a large multipurpose area featuring a bar, kitchenette and home theatre system.

“You have got this amazing pool area which can be used as indoor or outdoor zone,” Mr Pedretti said.

“It has a Vergola roof and you can also open up all the bi-fold doors so it feels like you are outdoors.”

He likened the palatial main bedroom suite to a “hotel-type scenario”, while other custom features – like the commercial grade windows, a kitchen garbage chute and a noise-reducing membrane – are more subtle.

“It’s got amazing views of the CBD and bay, views that you can never lose because there’s a reserve across the road,” he said.

“The CBD skyline is getting better every year, making the view even more impressive.”
