29 The Avenue, Blackburn VIC 3130

Featured in the December 2025 edition of Home Beautiful and shortlisted in the Gardens category of the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects Awards, this sophisticated family residence occupies what is arguably Blackburn’s premier street and blends a luxurious architectural aesthetic with enthralling 1923 ‘Elmore’ Craftsman-style origins.

Originally built in 1923 by eminent architect Algernon John Elmore, the home has been beautifully complemented by award-winning native gardens by Bethany Williamson Landscape, alongside architectural contributions from Neil Architecture.

The garden’s rich texture, depth and movement was carefully curated by Bethany Williamson Landscape Architecture; a mesmerising introduction to the brilliant Neil Architecture-designed residence.

An all-seasons entertainer with a selection of spaces for quiet reflection and family fun, the seductive comfort of the fire-side lounge is enhanced by the period beauty of a box bay window with leadlight. A successful work-from-home environment, the study with two built-in desks engages easily with the outside greenery.

Subtle skylights add natural ambience throughout, illuminating the connoisseur’s kitchen featuring a large granite island, butler’s pantry, Liebherr integrated refrigerator/freezer and a Siemens pyrolytic oven, combi steam oven and induction cooktop. With a soaring raked ceiling above, warm your toes by the Stuv wood fireplace in the generous dining and family room. North-facing full-height glazing reveals a sun-kissed deck and alfresco with outdoor kitchen looking across a shimmering swimming pool with in-floor cleaning and heat-pump temperature control.

With ensuite access to all four bedrooms, the master bedroom boasts a walk-in robe and an ensuite with a free-standing tub. A long list of luxuries includes zoned central heating/air-conditioning, a powder room, garden lighting/irrigation, single auto garage and two-car off-street parking behind auto gates.

Zoned for Laburnum Primary and Box Hill High School, enjoy the easy stroll to Morton and Furness Parks, Laburnum cafes, Blackburn Village and the train station.
