Luxury and lifestyle are at the heart of this award-winning retreat in Balwyn North, which features a private wellness wing with a cedar-lined sauna and an oversized gym or pilates studio.
Completed in 2021, the never-occupied home at 285 Belmore Rd replaces a 1960s home with an ambitiously designed conversion by luxury design and construction company Latitude 37.
“Designed as the award-winning Ultimate Modern Sanctuary, the project was delivered end-to-end by Latitude 37 and later recognized with the 2022 Master Builders Australia Best Display Home award,” explains listing agent Alex Schiavo of Kay & Burton Boroondara. The solar-heated infinity pool, gas-heated spa and outdoor shower add to this sanctuary theme, while the smart design, including high ceilings, creates high-end entertainment areas.

The never-inhabited house, completed in 2021, replaces a house from the 1960s.
The home was recognized with the 2022 Master Builders Australia Best Display Home award.
A bar and lounge, a cellar and a stone barbecue further enhance this. “Outdoor spaces are conceived as private extensions of the interior, centered around an infinity pool, spa and covered outdoor space,” says Schiavo.
“The combination of courtyard, pool areas and integrated landscaping creates a tranquil, resort-like environment that functions effortlessly all year round.”
The layout runs around a central courtyard, with floor-to-ceiling windows, a double-height mezzanine, a glass wooden revolving door and a spiral staircase that brings light and refinement to the interior.
“The home offers a balance between contemporary luxury and resort-inspired tranquility, with an emphasis on natural light, spatial volume and connection to the outdoors,” says Schiavo. “Internally, refined materials, bespoke joinery and dramatic voids echo outdoors through landscaped courtyards, extensive glazing and seamless transitions between indoors and outdoors.”
The property is listed with a guide price of $5-$5.5 million.
The house has five bedrooms and three bathrooms spread over two levels.
Dual kitchens and flowing entertaining areas reflect a home designed for family and guests.
With five bedrooms and three bathrooms spread over two levels, the zoned accommodation allows the ground floor to be used as a private guest suite. Upstairs, a third living space and study provide more versatility.
“Its generous accommodation, multiple residential zones and resort-style amenities make it particularly attractive to buyers looking for a long-term family home that also supports entertainment, wellbeing and flexible living,” says Schiavo.
The 936 sqm block and location in Balwyn North are also a draw.
“It is located in a highly regarded residential area, just 10km from Melbourne’s central business district,” he says.
“The proximity to parks, transport and the coveted Greythorn Primary and Balwyn High School zones underpin the family appeal.”
285 Belmore Rd, Balwyn North is listed by Alex Schiavo Kay & Burton Boroondara with a price guide of $5-$5.5 million. Expressions of interest close on March 3 at 5pm.
