Read about one of our recent success stories as we worked collaboratively with a Melbourne client to achieve end-to-end outcomes that directly aligned with their criteria.
Feature Project
Property Coaching Process
Third Garden’s Director, Spiro Skiadopoulos, teamed up with a Melbourne-based investor to undertake a development project in the city’s eastern suburbs. The investor aimed to develop a block of land into two standalone houses.
With Third Garden’s expertise, the investor and Spiro began to search for the right opportunity.
Guidance Through Real Estate Purchasing
In the suburb of Ashburton, an older-style home became available on the market.
Third Garden’s team assessed the property’s growth potential and advised that it was the right opportunity to meet the investor’s needs.
With Spiro’s guidance, the investor purchased the property at auction.
Adding Value Through Smart, Strategic Plans
Upon purchasing, Spiro led the investor’s team through the process of adding value to the property. Third Garden interviewed architects, planners, and buildings and began to curate design ideas, floor plans, fittings and finishes.
Upon receiving quotes from multiple builders, the Third Garden team awarded the building contract to the best fit and works commenced. The existing home was demolished, and the block excavated to allow the construction of two contemporary triple-storey homes.
Spiro and the Third Garden team oversaw the project from start to finish. Construction of the property was documented and filmed for the popular Build Me a Home series on Channel 72.
The Result: A Stunning Luxury Property
A breathtaking contemporary design, lavish finishes and generous proportions define the exceptional near-new luxury family home. Boasting an enviable location — walking distance to Ashburton Village and station, plus schools, parks and the aquatic centre — this large corner block was excavated to allow two 3-storey, four-bedroom townhouses to be built.
High ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass offer a sense of endless space, capturing abundant natural light throughout. A vast open plan living and dining room features a modern gas fireplace and dark timber floors. Appointed to the highest standards, the gourmet kitchen boasts stone waterfall benchtops, premium Miele appliances, and a large walk-in pantry. The living areas open to a private north-east garden with a covered alfresco dining terrace.
A light-filled double bedroom with designer ensuite and walk-in robe is situated downstairs, providing a luxurious guest room or extended family living potential. Upstairs, a generous master suite offers an opulent ensuite, walk-in robe, and luxe balcony with city views. Two upstairs bedrooms offer built-in robes, sharing a stylish bathroom with a freestanding tub.
This home is impeccably appointed with a security system, video intercom, powder room, laundry, three-car basement, and spacious wine cellar or storeroom. (see below).
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
Definitely, I am very happy with Spiro's coaching. I have been learning a lot about how the Real State market works here in Australia.
I highly recommend New property agent in South Yarra.
It’s been easy and a pleasure to work with you. Thank you once again,
Both his online communication following our initial meeting was succinct, punctual and very helpful as we navigated what was left of the process while we were overseas. We would like to extend our gratitude and appreciation for all their support on our purchase, and we would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering buying or selling their properties.
I had been overseas when the apartments became available and I very much appreciated the around the clock response and support together with all the paperwork dispatched and completed. Additionally, I thought that your advisory support, your research and updates on the suburb and making my investment a priority has been helpful in my purchase and hopefully continuing to work with you in the future for other purchases.
Anyway - thank you very much for making my purchase viable and making the transaction so seamless and handled in such a professional manner by yourself.
