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.
