The House That Redefines Acreage Living in Park Orchards

Not all acreages are created equal… and this one changes the conversation entirely.

Welcome to 56–58 Williams Road, where timeless design meets effortless living on a flat acre in one of the area’s most tightly held pockets. No stairs. No wasted space. No compromise. Just a home designed to grow with your family for decades to come.

From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense of calm, privacy and permanence that’s becoming incredibly hard to find. Expansive proportions, seamless indoor-outdoor connection and room for absolutely everything — all wrapped in a location many consider the Golden Mile of Park Orchards.

✨ Space
Because true family living needs room to breathe, entertain and unwind.

✨ Serenity
Because flat acre living with this level of peace and privacy is exceptionally rare.

✨ Sophistication
Because timeless architecture and quality design never go out of style.

This is the kind of property buyers wait years for.

Congratulations to both our wonderful vendors and the excited new purchasers of 6A Roy Street, Donvale.

In a market filled with noise and negativity, this result was a reminder that great outcomes still come from courage, strategy and hard work. A brave last-minute bid sealed the deal and brought an exciting campaign to a successful close.

At Jellis Craig, we believe results come from more than just advertising a property — they come from understanding people, building genuine relationships, listening carefully to our clients’ needs and working relentlessly behind the scenes to create the right opportunity at the right time.

Thank you to everyone involved for trusting the process and allowing us to be part of your journey. Wishing the new owners many happy memories ahead in beautiful Donvale. 🏡 ☀️

Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful wife, and to all the incredible mums and mother figures out there who give so much of themselves every single day.

No matter how hard we all work, a mother’s shift truly never ends. The love, patience, sacrifice and care you provide to your families and communities is something that deserves celebrating not just today, but every day.

A massive shout out as well to Sugar Me Cakes and the incredibly talented Ioanna for yet another custom masterpiece delivered for lunch today. An architect by trade, but an absolute genius with her hands when it comes to creating unforgettable cakes and desserts. If you’re looking for something truly special for your next event, make sure you give her a follow on Instagram.

Hope everyone had a beautiful day surrounded by family, love and plenty of cake ❤️

300 FIVE STAR REVIEWS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’m incredibly grateful to every client, family and friend who has trusted me to represent them throughout their real estate journey. Reaching 300 five-star reviews is something I genuinely never take for granted.

Behind every review is a story, a family, a major life decision and a relationship that means far more to me than just a transaction. Whether buying, selling, leasing or simply seeking advice, thank you for allowing myself and the team at Jellis Craig to be part of those moments.

After 35 years in real estate, I still wake up passionate about helping people achieve outstanding results whilst making the process as smooth and rewarding as possible.

To everyone who has supported, referred, trusted and recommended me along the way — thank you sincerely. Your support means the world.

If you’re considering buying, leasing or selling and would value honest advice, strategic marketing and experienced representation, I’d love the opportunity to help.

Phil Phillips
Vendor of Templestowe Property - Sold by Jellis Craig

15 hours ago

We recently sold our home in Templestowe with Sam Babalis as our auctioneer, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience.

From the outset, Sam took the time to really listen to our expectations and concerns. He provided clear, practical advice in the lead-up to auction day, helping us feel confident and well-prepared.

On the day itself, Sam ran an outstanding auction. His communication was calm, engaging, and professional, and he read the crowd perfectly to build momentum and competition. The result was a successful sale that we’re genuinely pleased with.

We highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for an experienced and reliable auctioneer who delivers results while making the process feel seamless.

🏡 SOLD UNDER THE HAMMER | 19 Glenvale Road, Donvale

Another outstanding result yesterday at auction with 3 genuine bidders competing for this beautiful Donvale property. Competitive auctions don’t happen by chance — they come from the right strategy, strong buyer engagement, expert negotiation and creating confidence in the marketplace.

If your home is currently on the market with another agent and you’re feeling underwhelmed by the communication, strategy or results… this might be the sign to reassess your approach.

Sometimes a change in energy, marketing and representation can make all the difference.

If you’d like a confidential conversation about how to reposition your property and maximise your result, I’d be happy to help.
