Plenty luxury home breaks suburb record

This was the first time the completed home at 2 Grange Ave, had ever been offered for sale, following its transformation from a vacant block — sold in 2020 — into one of the region’s most luxurious private residences.

The previous suburb record was held by 5 Park Ave, Plenty, which sold for $3.775m in May 2023, according to publicly available property records.

Jellis Craig Greensborough and Hurstbridge director Aaron Yeats said did not comment on the sale price but told The Herald Sun the home had attracted strong attention since launch, including multiple private inspections and “very strong digital engagement”.

“It’s almost certainly the most expensive home ever offered in Plenty,” Mr Yeats said.

The pool zone is perfectly positioned to capture year-round sun and includes in-floor cleaning, solar heating, and a self-filling feature spa.

The sunken lounge delivers a cinematic sense of scale, anchored by a soaring void, sculptural chandelier and statement concrete feature wall.

“But it’s also the newest and largest, from a build and replacement cost perspective alone, the value is outstanding.”

The six-bedroom residence features a curved concrete staircase, soaring six-metre atrium entry, in-floor slab heating, billiards room and outdoor spa among a suite of luxury inclusions.

It was previously showcased on Open Homes Australia before landscaping was complete, and has since gained widespread attention across digital platforms including Melbourne House Spotters, Spacecraft and Jellis Craig’s internal reach campaign.

A dramatic blend of reclaimed San Selmo brick, circular openings and curated artwork showcases the home’s architectural depth and design finesse.

The dedicated home office pairs custom joinery with leafy views, ideal for remote work or quiet study in a high-end, light-filled setting.

Social media has further turbocharged the campaign, with Instagram posts from property pages such as Melbourne House Spotters and Million Dollar Listing Melbourne drawing tens of thousands of views, likes and comments.

One reel showcasing the dramatic entry and pool view drew a flurry of interest in just days.

The luxury kitchen is fitted with premium Ilve appliances, a long stone island finished in Ambassador Stone, and an adjoining butler’s pantry.

The covered alfresco zone blends seamlessly with the poolside deck, complete with an outdoor kitchen for effortless entertaining in every season.

Mr Yeats said that while the Open Homes appearance wasn’t a major focus, the property had “absolutely benefited from digital momentum”.

The owners, who have built several bespoke homes, worked closely with their architect to realise a lifestyle inspired by luxury hotels and international design.

“They love the creative process,” he said.

One of the home’s six spacious bedrooms, this light-filled retreat features floor-to-ceiling glazing, garden views, and a luxe walk-in robe.

The home cinema is designed for the ultimate movie night, with tiered seating and gold class finishes.

“The feedback has been phenomenal, and they’re genuinely proud of what they’ve created here.”

The main bedroom includes dual dressing rooms, a private retreat and deluxe ensuite, while the kitchen offers stone finishes, premium appliances and a butler’s pantry with integrated fridge-freezers.

Mr Yeats said the home was ideally suited to a large or multigenerational family seeking “resort-style living” in a tightly held location.

“You could go on holiday and still not find this level of luxury or amenity,” he said.

A commercial-grade Laava sauna and adjoining steam shower bring spa-style indulgence to the home’s wellness wing, no gym membership required.

A sculptural full-metal staircase curves beneath statement lighting, linking the home’s expansive ground level with its private upstairs retreat.

The resort-style pool and spa form the heart of the outdoor zone, framed by lush landscaping and designed for all-day sun and seamless entertaining.
