Keilor East mansion sold after 600 days on the market

38 Surrey Drive, Keilor East has sold for almost $2m.

A colossal concrete house has finally sold after lingering on the market for 600 days.

The unfinished property achieved an undisclosed price understood to be just shy of Keilor East’s $2m house price record.

Moonee Valley Real Estate agent David Gigliotti declined to comment on the sale of the 38 Surrey Drive mansion, which he described as “gargantuan” when it first hit the market in August 2018.

The house has finally sold after first hitting the market in August 2018.

The open-plan living area and kitchen on one of the levels.

Some bed.

The property had a $2.2-$2.4m price guide then.

CoreLogic records show it had two stints on the market — the first for 291 days and the second, 309 — before it changed hands on July 17.

The vendor started building the three-storey monolith about 15 years ago, with features including 10 bedrooms, four bathrooms, two stone-topped kitchens, two balconies, multiple living areas and a seven-car garage.

The house has two kitchens …

… both with stone benchtops.

Space age showers are on show throughout the bathrooms.

Shower or teleportation device?

The exterior still needs finishing touches, including a facade paint job and landscaping.

When the residence first came up for sale, Mr Gigliotti said it was “one of the biggest homes in the area”.

“There has been interest in the house, but this is not a property that you’ll get 500 buyers for,” he said at the time.

“It’s an eccentric house (that) will probably only appeal to a few people because of its difference.

“It’s got to be to someone’s taste. Then again, its difference could be its allure.”

The mansion sprawls over three levels.

One of the four bathrooms has a spa.

A bedroom with plenty of space for entertaining.

He also stated the architecturally designed house was on one of Keilor East’s best streets.

It has featured regularly on cult Instagram page, Ugly Melbourne Houses, during its selling campaign.

Keilor East’s $2m benchmark for a single house sale belongs to a five-bedroom residence at 8 Valley Lake Boulevard, according to CoreLogic.

Realestate.com.au puts the suburb’s median house price at $845,000.

It’s a solid party pad.
