A SUBURBAN mansion is tempting buyers who have a taste for Tuscany and more than $2.2 million to spend.

It joins a host of other dream homes up for grabs in Melbourne, including a slice of classic luxury in Mont Albert and a modern masterpiece in Glen Iris.

3 Barooga Drive, Wonga Park

The builder’s own home at 3 Barooga Drive, Wonga Park, is designed to capture the charm of a Tuscan estate.

A dramatic stone entrance overlooking the circular drive and fountain set the scene.

Grand proportions and quality fittings lend a touch of elegance to the interior, which includes multiple living zones spread over two levels.

The entertainment precinct features a sauna, spa, sunny terrace and living area with its own kitchen and bathroom.

Four bedrooms are on the top floor, with the main connecting to a stunning ensuite with a sunken bath and double shower.

Erfanian Developments is selling the property for $2.2 million-plus.

9 Smythe Ave, Mont Albert

Luxury family living comes with all the trimmings at the substantial home at 9 Smythe Ave, Mont Albert.

The floorplan spans about 650sq m, spread over two levels and including extras such as a wine cellar, tiered theatre and study.

Gleaming parquetry floors lead from the entrance to the open-plan living space at the rear, where a bank of bi-fold doors opens to the covered entertaining zone.

It is the ideal spot for a barbecue, overlooking the manicured garden and swimming pool.

Four bedrooms each have their own walk-in robe and the main features a private balcony and marble ensuite.

Jellis Craig, Hawthorn, is auctioning the home on June 20 and it is expected to sell for about $4 million.

47 Erica Ave, Glen Iris

Sunlight fills the large and luxurious family home at 47 Erica Ave, Glen Iris.

The open-plan living and dining room is the highlight, with a soaring double-height ceiling and a wall of glass facing the pool.

The lounge area is warmed by a pebble gas fireplace and the glossy kitchen connects to a butler’s pantry.

Three bedrooms and a rumpus room are upstairs, while the main bedroom is by the entry, featuring a walk-in robe and deluxe ensuite with raised spa bath.

Travertine marble floors, zoned ducted heating and cooling and a solar-heated swimming pool complete the package.

Gary Peer & Associates, Caulfield North, is auctioning the home on June 20 with a $2.7 million-plus price guide.
