50 Rowen Street, Glen Iris, Vic 3146

Rarely does a family residence offer such exceptional flexibility as this extensively renovated home in a prized parkland pocket minutes from village shopping, transport and sought-after schools. Positioned on a generous 622 sqm parcel, its substantial proportions include a self-contained two-bedroom upper level with the option of its own entrance. Equally effective as one expansive family home or two largely independent living environments, the adaptable five-bedroom, three-bathroom design provides an outstanding solution for multigenerational households, extended family, adult children, regular guests or those seeking significant work-from-home flexibility.

Parquetry floors add warmth and refinement to the ground floor, flowing through an elegant formal living room with open fireplace, generous family living and dining areas and a substantial lounge/retreat featuring extensive built-in storage. At the heart of the home, a large custom-designed contemporary kitchen combines stone benchtops and premium appliances, including an induction cooktop and two wall ovens, with extensive cabinetry, deep drawer storage and a central island with dining bar. Three bedrooms with built-in robes include the main at the front sharing a family bathroom with separate WC, while the third bedroom is privately zoned at the rear with a nearby second bathroom and powder room. Outside, undercover alfresco areas overlook the manicured rear garden and tranquil water feature, creating an inviting setting for play, everyday relaxation and easy entertaining.

Ducted heating and additional split-system heating/cooling and an alarm enhance everyday comfort and security, accompanied by a workshop, secure climate-controlled wine storage, an oversized double carport and additional parking behind secure gates.

Upstairs, elevated neighbourhood outlooks surround a generous open-plan living and dining domain featuring a stone well-appointed kitchen with gas cooktop and premium appliances with integrated bosch washing/drying machine. A balcony captures views extending to the city skyline, while two robed bedrooms, a contemporary bathroom and powder room complete this self-contained domain, enhanced by timber floors, split-system heating and cooling and the option of independent entry.

From this quiet, family-focused address, it’s just a short stroll to Liston Street Reserve, Hartwell Sports Ground, Rowen Street Kindergarten, and local childcare options. The bustling cafés and shops of High Street and Toorak Road are nearby, while Ashburton Station, High Street buses, Ashburton Primary, and PLC are all just minutes away.
