8-10 Barkly Street, Box Hill VIC 3128

Large freestanding house on 1,875m² | architect designed with indoor pool and tennis court | rare for Box Hill’s medium density norm | suited to prestige family buyers This property is competitively rare for Box Hill, where most stock is medium density apartments and townhouses. The house itself is a large, architect designed residence from the late 1990s, offering around 508m² of internal space with five or six bedrooms. What truly sets it apart is the land: a full 1,875m² block with a north-south tennis court, heated indoor pool, gym, and four car garaging. It serves best an affluent family seeking a private estate with strong school zoning for Roberts McCubbin and Box Hill High, and proximity to Deakin University and Box Hill Central. The low building coverage of about 26% leaves substantial landscaped area, reinforcing its prestige character. Several factors may materially affect the property’s value. The build year is inconsistently reported as 1995 or 1997, which could influence buyer perception of age and maintenance needs. The bedroom count also varies between five and six across sources, so a buyer should verify the actual configuration. The rental yield is low at roughly 1.9%, reflecting the property’s nature as a family home rather than an investment. Maintenance intensity for the pool, tennis court, and large grounds might be a consideration for some buyers, though for the right owner these are features not burdens.
