“Hills View” c1890 – A reimagined landmark estate of rare prestige
Rich in provenance and magnificently reimagined for elite modern family living, “Hills View” stands among Alphington’s most historically significant and tightly held landmark estates. Originally built in 1890 for Barnet Glass, the grand residence remains celebrated for its architectural significance and extraordinarily rare surviving landholding, with National Trust classification underscoring its importance within Victoria’s cultural heritage. Set behind an imposing heritage façade and enveloped by pristinely landscaped grounds on 1453 approx., the estate delivers a level of scale, privacy and exclusivity almost never offered within this blue-chip Alphington address. Meticulously restored and renovated by its long-term custodians of over two decades, the residence achieves a masterful balance between magnificent original grandeur and refined contemporary luxury.
A commanding foyer entrance introduces soaring ceilings, leadlight windows, oak parquetry flooring and a sequence of beautifully proportioned formal living and dining domains, while the state-of-the-art kitchen with butler’s pantry/laundry flows effortlessly to a light-filled atrium-style dining room. Beyond, expansive rear gardens and a solar and gas-heated swimming pool and spa create a spectacular private sanctuary for grand-scale entertaining and family enjoyment. Three bedrooms (walk-in robe and ensuite to main) plus a dedicated study/home office are complemented by an exceptional upper-level self-contained accommodation wing with kitchenette, two additional bedrooms, bathroom and balcony - ideal for guests, intergenerational living or an executive-style retreat. A substantial garage, rear access and circular driveway provide extensive off-street parking and everyday practicality, while double glazing, electric solar panels reflect a considered approach to long-term efficiency.
In a prized location close to Alphington Train Station, Darebin Creek trails, Ivanhoe and Fairfield Village shopping, elite schooling options including Ivanhoe Grammar School and easy freeway access to the Melbourne CBD, this quietly prestigious and historically irreplaceable estate represents an extraordinarily rare opportunity to secure one of Alphington’s true landmark residences - where heritage grandeur, family excellence and blue-chip exclusivity converge at the highest level.
