An opulent Balwyn North mansion has come to market which could break the suburb’s price record.

The five-bedroom abode at 28 Tuxen St adorned in marble and European oak may set the new benchmark for the area if it sells within its $7.5m-$8.2m price hopes.

Balwyn North’s current residential house price record is held by the $7.6m sale of 9 Chelmsford St last year, according to PropTrack records.

VICPROP Manningham partner Brian Chen said they had already had around 55 groups through the residence from when they listed on November 25.

“On the first inspection we had about 17 or 18 groups; we ran a grand opening VIP invitation only night,” Mr Chen said.

“I believe this property will be set a new benchmark in Balwyn North.”

Another property nearby in Balwyn that recently listed sprawls across four levels, including two basements.

The four-bedroom residence at 8 Power St, Balwyn features a large home cinema, two bars, Mahjong area, golf range simulator and gym with all its furniture coming with its sale.

The vendor hopes to fetch between $3.7m-$4.07m when it eventually goes to auction.

Ray White Balwyn director Helen Yan said the owner bought the land in 2017, subdivided it and embarked on two large home builds, and has now decided to sell one of them.

8 Power St, Balwyn is also up for sale.

Ms Yan said a major draw card was how technologically advanced it was as well as its functionality.

“It’s a very useful house, whatever is there; the sauna is there, the gym is there,” she said.

She said all the furniture, including the ping pong table and golf simulator, was being sold with the home.

The racing simulator, ping pong table and foosball table come with the sale.

The sauna and gym are located on the lowest level.

Other features of the abode are the herringbone oak floors, adjoining outdoor entertaining area and modern Miele appliances in the kitchen.

Two entertaining floors are split underneath the home, with the first basement including the six-car garage, bar and rumpus room.

On the lowest level, there is another bar, gym, sauna, lounge and media room with theatre seats.

Ms Yan added that homes in Balwyn were “selling quite well” at the moment because people were buying for convenience and to be close to the private schools in the area.
