Buyers ace private sanctuary built on Belmont tennis court

3 weeks ago 8

Sellers can declare game, set and match after new owners snapped up a contemporary two-storey residence that’s risen from the site of a former tennis court in Belmont.

PK Studio designed the contemporary residence, which is tucked behind a sleek double garage that provides the only interface with the street, and a versatile self-contained studio.

The vendors carved out the space from a much larger property to create two high-end townhouses.

The five-bedroom townhouse was built on the site of a former tennis court.

The five-bedroom residence at 1/25 Sanglen Tce provides luxury and seclusion for the buyers who have paid more than $1.6m for the 462sq m property.

Jellis Craig, Geelong agent Malinda Leonard said the campaign, handled by director Marcus Falconer, drew a lot of interest for the abode, before selling to the intending owner-occupiers.

The property spent just 24 days on the market after being listed with $1.595m price hopes.

The sunken lounge sits centre stage where a feature wall from recycled bricks also another hero.


The extra wide island bench is the perfect spot to perch.


The leafy neighbourhood no doubt added to the attraction, along with a location close to Highton Village shops and nearby Belmont and Bellaire schools.

The clever design delivers beautiful northern light to the set back main living zone and the central swimming pool it overlooks.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and sunken lounge is the centrepiece of the entry level, channelling an industrial vibe through polished concrete floors and a double height wall featuring red brick reclaimed from a Toorak warehouse.

Black cabinetry and porcelain countertops reinforce the aesthetic in the kitchen, which has Asko appliances, including a built-in microwave, and a butler’s pantry.

Synthetic turf makes for a low-maintenance outdoor area between the house and studio.


The main bedroom suite has its own private deck.


Stacker doors extend the space out to a poolside deck and a low maintenance garden that links the main house to a separate studio with its own ensuite and deck.

The main bedroom suite is positioned at the rear of the ground floor where it has access to a private deck, walk-in wardrobe and a stylish ensuite with a hidden shower and ensuite.

A floating timber staircase leads upstairs to three further bedrooms, a study space with a custom bench and storage, a designer bathroom and a powder room.

The studio also has a pool outlook and offers space for a lounge and bedroom, plus an ensuite.

Another benefit of working with the cut of the block is the additional storage space in the garage.
