Where Every Day Feels Like Home

House - Gladstone Park VIC

Gladstone Park is a suburb rich in Victorian history and story-telling.

Named after parliamentarian Thomas Gladstone, the area was once prized as some of the best-watered farming land in Melbourne before being released for suburban development in 1954. With the CBD in close proximity and the Moonee Ponds Creek providing a natural spine, Gladstone Park has long been admired for its capacity to nurture both growth and community.

Its original urban design was carefully considered: a network of crescents and cul-de-sacs was created to discourage through-traffic, while a central circuit connects the neighbourhood with ease. The result is a family-friendly environment where quiet streets lead naturally to local reserves; places that encourage connection and a genuine sense of belonging.

40 Aylesbury Street is a wonderful expression of this thoughtful planning. Its brick façade is distinctive for the area, with graceful curved archways that welcome you into the main living spaces and immediately give the home a sense of character and warmth.

Inside, an expansive living and dining zone flows through to a more relaxed open-plan kitchen area. The master bedroom features an ensuite, an uncommon luxury for homes of this era. A central hallway leads to the main bathroom with separate bath and to three further bedrooms, two with built-in robes.

Well ahead of its time, the original owners also recognised the value of seamless indoor-outdoor living. The former patio was converted into a fully usable room, creating a versatile space that can be enjoyed year-round; ideal for Melbourne’s ever-changing weather.

Behind the roller door, the property offers secure off-street parking for two cars, while still allowing access through to the generous rear garden.

40 Aylesbury Street remains a delightful and remarkably intact home. Its considered floorplan has been largely untouched since its original construction, giving the next custodian the rare opportunity to enhance and personalise the property without first needing to undo someone else’s vision.
