15 Lexham Square, Eltham, Vic 3095

At the uppermost point of Lexham Square, this substantial family home occupies an unusually commanding position within one of Eltham’s most tightly held and beautifully established pockets. Elevated above the surrounding streetscape, it looks out across a magnificent canopy of trees, while its position at the top of the T-shaped street creates an appealing sense of privacy and separation.

Behind established, easy-care gardens and a huge double carport, a leadlight front door introduces a home of impressive proportions. Split across three levels, it has the space to accommodate a growing family, teenagers wanting their own territory, or even multigenerational living, while its multiple living areas make it wonderfully adaptable to whatever life looks like next.

On the lower level, a beautiful formal lounge immediately captures the character of the setting. High ceilings, polished hardwood floors and broad windows draw in an abundance of natural light and frame leafy treetop views, while a
split system provides year-round comfort. The adjoining kitchen is equally bright, with lovely garden outlooks from the window, gas cooking, a Westinghouse wall oven and Dishlex dishwasher.

Cork flooring leads through to the generous family room, where doors open directly to the outdoor entertaining area. Off this space, a separate carpeted room with quality drapes makes an ideal home office, media room, children's retreat or quiet second workspace.

Outside is where the property really comes into its own. A patio sits within beautifully constructed rockwork, with an impressive inground pool at the top of the steps with its own charming rock waterfall flowing into the water. Beyond the pool, a grassed area and a garden shed that adds practical storage. There is also a second north-facing garden area, completely secure and private, with a recently renovated pergola, giving the family distinct outdoor spaces to enjoy throughout the day.

The middle level of the home provides comfortable bedroom accommodation and plenty of practical support. Two generous family bedrooms feature quality carpets, built-in robes and blinds, while the large laundry offers excellent bench space and storage. Linen and hallway cupboards add further functionality.

The master bedroom is a particularly peaceful retreat, with a striking brick feature wall, views across the backyard, a generous walk-in robe and a well-sized ensuite beneath a beautiful skylight. Brand-new carpet adds a fresh finish.

Then the home rises again, via beautiful timber stairs, to a remarkable upper level. A large second living area takes full advantage of the elevation, with an architectural roofline incorporating unique built-in windows and expansive glazing that looks across the treetops of Eltham. With split-system heating and cooling, it is an outstanding space for teenagers, entertaining, relaxing or simply escaping to somewhere a little quieter.

Two further large bedrooms complete this level. Both feature robes, quality carpets and split-system air conditioning, both of which open to delightful balconies and elevated garden vistas. A generous family bathroom includes a stone-topped timber vanity and rain shower.

Throughout the home, gas ducted heating complements the brand-new split systems, while fresh paint and new carpet in the master bedroom reinforce the feeling of a home that has been carefully maintained rather than simply cosmetically presented. An enormous solar array and large Tesla battery add another significant advantage, providing an impressive level of energy independence.

Perhaps the most compelling thing about the property is its ability to grow with its owners. There is enough room here for young children to spread out, teenagers to claim their own spaces and extended family to have genuine separation without losing the connection that makes a family home work. The three-level configuration, multiple living zones, office/media room and extensive outdoor areas offer options rarely found in a home of this scale.

And while the house is exceptionally liveable today, there is also exciting scope for someone with a vision to take it further. The substantial garden and extraordinary pool already provide the foundations for an exceptional resort-style outdoor environment, while the home itself offers plenty of opportunity for future personalisation.

The setting completes the picture. From Lexham Square, Eltham East Primary is an easy walk, while Catholic Ladies’ College, Eltham High School, Our Lady Help of Christians and ELTHAM College are all within easy reach. Eltham’s village centre provides cafés, shopping and everyday services, with Eltham Station and local bus services making commuting straightforward. The surrounding network of parks, playgrounds, reserves and the Diamond Creek Trail adds an enormous amount of recreational choice.

For a home of this size, in this position, with these views and this level of flexibility, opportunities like this are rare. Beautifully maintained, wonderfully bright and ready to enjoy, it offers something even more valuable: the space and setting to create a truly exceptional Eltham home.
