2 Glen Drive, Eaglemont was inspired by architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s most famous creation, Fallingwater.

Set high above Melbourne and inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s 1930s architectural masterpiece Fallingwater, this Eaglemont beauty is in rare air.

The renovated Art Deco residence at 2 Glen Drive has hit the market with a $5.85-$6.25 million price guide.

CoreLogic records show it’ll come close to Eaglemont’s $6.3 million house price record — held by 26-28 Eaglemont Cres since February 2017 — if it sells at the top of its quoted range.

Nelson Alexander Ivanhoe partner Gordon Hope said there was “nothing quite like it” in the northeastern suburb.

He said the 1940s-built residence’s 2002 revamp was deemed “one of the top 50 renovations” of the time by House & Garden magazine, for keeping the home’s original charm intact while also adding modern comforts.

The house offers formal and informal living areas.

The three-storey house occupies a triangular 1971sq m block with a pool, separate gym, alfresco deck, stone-paved terraces and lush gardens that create a “botanical garden wonderland feel”.

It features formal and informal living areas, including a family room with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a home cinema and billiards room.

The property has a $5.85-$6.25 million price guide.

A Gaggenau and Liebherr kitchen, four bedrooms including a main retreat upstairs, four bathrooms, CBD views and A-plus location in a Walter Burley Griffin-designed estate complete the package.

The property’s expressions of interest campaign closes April 9.
