Buyers are buzzing over this luxe family home with skyline views and a hidden pool side twist. SEE THE PICS
For years, the sellers of 303 The Boulevard, Ivanhoe East have enjoyed one of the suburb’s most serene and sophisticated addresses, a tri-level masterpiece with panoramic parkland views, an alfresco cabana, and a sun-drenched conservatory living zone at its heart.
Now listed with a $3.75m-$4.1m price guide, Barry Plant Ivanhoe director Theo Poltis said the striking residence offers buyers a chance to secure a fully renovated home with both family flexibility and entertainer’s wow-factor, all in one of Melbourne’s most tightly held pockets.
“It’s perched right at the top of the hill with a stunning outlook and an incredible number of living zones, it’s the full lifestyle package,” Mr Poltis said.

Set on a 1000sq m block, the home’s park-facing position is matched by a spacious interior that features two main suites, a gym, butler’s pantry, cellar, and six bathrooms, with zoned energy-efficient living across three levels.
Mr Poltis said the layout has been really well thought out
“The layout has been really well thought out,” Mr Politis said.
“You’ve got a main suite downstairs, two more bedrooms to the rear, and a second master upstairs, it suits a range of family setups, from young kids to teens or grandparents.
“Everyone can enjoy their own space.”
With multiple living zones and a smartly designed open-plan kitchen and meals area, the home flows out to a stunning poolside entertaining zone and landscaped garden, complete with a sleek cabana and bathroom.
The Barry Plant Ivanhoe director said the home was absolutely designed for entertaining.
“The kitchen opens straight onto the alfresco area and the garden wraps around you, it would be a dream setting to host in.”
Other standout features include a climate-zoned interior, motorised blinds in the conservatory and solar panels, helping reduce energy costs while maintaining year-round comfort.
“The home is incredibly efficient, all the living zones can be zoned off, so you’re never heating or cooling the whole space unnecessarily,” he said.
Expanses of double glazing frame tranquil views of the Yarra parklands and city skyline, while the French travertine entry, glossy timber floors, and glass-panelled staircase elevate the home’s luxury credentials.
With land values in Ivanhoe East already pushing $2.5m to $3m for original homes, Mr Politis said the offering is well placed for prestige buyers looking to trade up without taking on a major build.
“There’s nothing to do here — it’s a finished product,” he said.
“Many people have been here 30, 40, even 50 years.
“When they do sell, they’re often just trading within the area. That speaks volumes about how loved it is.”
The property is expected to draw strong interest from local upgraders who already live in the suburb.
