It’s been a few weeks since the last edition of On The Market, with an Abbotsford warehouse conversion headlining the inadvertent last hurrah – a 1,175-square-metre space complete with $100,000 of imported marble, a steam room, and flooded with Ferraris and BMWs. Well, they had to keep the Porsche company.
And before you accuse us of just featuring the best man caves in Melbourne, we simply had to jump back into the series to champion this next find: a $9 million Ivanhoe East mansion with its own custom basketball court, boxing ring, and enough garage space to accommodate nine cars. From the pictures alone, it looks like an absolute gem.

I want to do this properly, so let’s start with the pièce de résistance: the custom-built basketball court. Ignore the mural of Michael Jordan literally staring you down from the three-point line for a moment, and just imagine the after-work ritual of having the boys around for a quick game. Though I imagine if you’re in a position to fork out for this place, the idea of a regular 9-5 might not apply.
Directly alongside it is a full boxing ring, presided over by an equally imposing mural of Muhammad Ali. Both works were commissioned from Melbourne mural artist Danielle Weber, with the sporting legends chosen to watch over their respective arenas.
The basement level continues in much the same vein, with a dedicated weights and cardio gym, a putting green for those who prefer their sporting pursuits a little less physically demanding, and a private cinema for finals footy. Honestly, it’s the ultimate hosting set-up.
Worried about the parking situation? After all, having everyone over for a game of HORSE before sticking on a film could be a nightmare if everyone’s bringing their own car. Not here. A remote-controlled tower gate opens onto a two-car driveway, with a four-car garage and additional accommodation for five or more vehicles beyond. That's nine cars, at a minimum.
Moving upstairs, things get a little more traditionally luxurious, with a sculptural concrete spiral staircase, 3.4-metre ceilings, Venetian plaster, European Oak floors, and an internal lift connecting the five levels. There's also a dedicated study for whatever crypto you’re inevitably trading, alongside a rather comfortable fireside lounge, guest suite, and, naturally, a kitchen that goes rather hard on the Gaggenau.
The living spaces then open onto a north-facing entertaining area overlooking the golf course (did I mention there was a golf course), complete with a heated pool, outdoor kitchen, steam room, and bathroom pavilion.
Finally, for those who haven't quite had enough entertaining, there's the rooftop barbecue terrace, offering sweeping views across Ivanhoe East's leafy surrounds, Melbourne's skyline, and the occasional particularly spectacular sunset.
As for the address, 207 The Boulevard sits within one of Ivanhoe East's most coveted residential pockets, approximately nine kilometres from the CBD, with local cafés and shops practically on the doorstep, several golf courses nearby, and the Yarra River providing a welcome dose of greenery.
Currently listed by Kay & Burton with a price guide of $9 million to $9.9 million, the five-level residence is being offered via expressions of interest, closing 10 December 2026 at 4 PM. Private inspections are available by appointment.
