Why GlenHolm, Glen Iris townhouses, are a perfect family home
Melbourne's leafy east suburb Glen Iris is attracting families with one of its latest developments.
BHC Property' latest townhouse collection, GlenHolm, offers a mix of two, three and four-bedroom floorplans, which is attracting families small and large.
The limited collection of large-scale townhomes at 1795 Malvern Road has captured the attention of homebuyers due to its impressive features and ideal location, with MAP Architects behind the design.
Boasting landscapes by the esteemed John Patrick, the masterplan focuses on providing residents with privacy and a strong sense of community.
Each townhome is thoughtfully spaced, allowing for a sense of individuality and ample breathing space, with the staggered form of the homes further adding to the distinctiveness of each residence.
Nestled between the rows of townhomes, an open common area fosters a sense of neighbourly camaraderie, providing a place for residents to gather and gardens to flourish.
With the long-term resident in mind, GlenHolm incorporates various design elements to cater to modern living. The homes feature dedicated working-from-home spaces, ensuring that residents can easily adapt to the evolving demands of remote work.
Entrance stations offer convenience and security, while there's also intelligent storage solutions, high-quality Miele appliances and durable fixtures integrated throughout.
GlenHolm is also designed with sustainability in mind. These townhomes boast a 7-star energy rating, with innovative features such as high-performance glazing and 2.9 metre high ceilings contributing to maintaining comfortable living conditions, along with a lower carbon footprint and lower energy bills for residents.
Quiet streets wind through the area, offering a sense of serenity that is hard to come by in the city. Open parklands provide ample space for outdoor recreation, while the charming village shopping precincts cater to the needs of residents, ensuring convenience is just a stone's throw away.
Nature enthusiasts are in for a treat as the renowned Gardiners Creek Trail meanders through the eastern suburbs, stretching approximately 20 kilometres from Blackburn Lakes to the Main Yarra Trail in Burnley, while locals also enjoy the splendours of Hedgley Dene Gardens, boasting open lawns, an ornamental lake, and a number of footbridges.
Steeped in Edwardian-era charm, the nearby Central Park is another favourite, spanning almost 19 acres, with the verdant space home to an array of trees and garden beds, and even a cricket oval. Among its notable attractions is one of Victoria's oldest conservatories, a testament to the park's rich heritage and dedication to preserving natural beauty.
Culinary delights are also attracting families, with the local cafe, Pantry, a favourite among residents, renowned for its all-day brunch offerings. As the sun sets, the vibrant Asian-inspired diner and cocktail bar, Too Good Talker, takes centre stage.
Families have also been attracted to GlenHolm's proximity to a number of Melbourne's bests schools, including St Mary’s Primary School, Glen Iris Primary School, and Holmesglen Institute Chadstone Campus.
Residents can enjoy the convenience of being just a few minutes' walk from Glen Iris station, providing connectivity to the city and surrounding areas, while trams along bustling High Street are also within easy reach.
For those who prefer cycling, the picturesque riverside ride along Gardiners Creek Trail and Main Yarra Trail offers a scenic route into the city.
