Wheelers Hill landmark property 'the glasshouse' could sell for $4.5m - realestate.com.au - realestate.com.au

57 Lum Rd, Wheelers Hill - for herald sun real estate

57 Lum Rd, Wheelers Hill, could soon be the street’s fourth home to top $4m.

Known locally as “the glasshouse” for its expansive glazing, this Wheelers Hill home is a rarity.

From the natural light that pours into it, to the views that the home at 57 Lum Rd looks out to, the motivation to blur the lines between inside and outside is clear.

And with a $4.1m-$4.5m asking price, it’s likely to become the fourth home on the street to sell for north of $4m.

Ray White Ferntree Gully’s Cristine Jones said the home looked like “something you would see on Brighton Beach”.

“You first walk in and there’s a stunning free-flowing open-plan area where you can look out to the gardens,” Ms Jones said.

“For someone who wants something different and special this is the place.”

With views to the Dandenong Ranges and a northeast orientation, the walls of glass and floorplan were carefully consideredby architect John Demos.

The home’s open-plan interiors make the most of viewlines through its expansive windows.

Living spaces also benefit from copious natural light.

Entertainment spaces are spread around the home, starting with a rumpus room and bar that joins a home theatre on the lower level.

The main living zones are on the ground floor and include open-plan dining, sitting and lounge areas.

The kitchen blends stainless-steel appliances and splashbacks with polished white surfaces for a timeless aesthetic.

The main bedroom makes the most of the views, zoned with a retreat, ensuite and walk-in wardrobe on the top floor of the three-storey build.

The lower level’s entertainment space comes complete with its own bar.

The main bedroom suite occupies the home’s entire top floor.

The home’s unusual, L-shaped design has also been carefully considered to frame an infinity-edge pool and spa with the stand-alone entertainment pavilion boasting an outdoor kitchen along the property’s eastern boundary.

Additional features include a putting green, terraced gardens and two garages.

Impressive views of the Dandenong Ranges aren’t the only visual highlight for the home’s outlook, with Lum Rd boasting some of Wheelers Hill’s most expensive homes.

Three others have sold for more than $4m, including a sprawling home at 37-47 Lum Rd which still holds the suburb’s price record after selling for $7,158,888 in 2016.
