Glen Iris

Architect-designed and globally recognised for its innovation, this residence is a showpiece of contemporary family living. Created by Metroworks Architects under the direction of Melissa M Fleming, this multi-award finalist, including the Melbourne Design Awards and featured on Foxtel’s Australia’s Best Houses, is an architectural triumph defined by sculptural form, precision detailing and luxurious liveability.

A commanding façade of zinc cladding, natural timber and dramatic cantilevered lines sets the tone for what lies within. Behind the striking exterior, a soaring entry reveals a magnificent hand-laid natural stone fin wall, illuminated by natural light and framed by polished ironbark floors. Every element reveals considered design at every turn, from the handcrafted steel staircase to feature panels, bespoke joinery and layered textures that balance warmth with refinement.

Perfectly tailored for modern family life, the home unfolds across multiple flexible zones. The lower level main suite offers multi-aspect glazing, a fitted dressing room and a luxe stone ensuite with dual vanity and walk-in shower. Upstairs, the second main suite features a sweeping ceiling line and expansive walk-through robes, sharing the vast hotel-style family bathroom with an adjoining bedroom. Three further robed bedrooms and ensuites complete the level. A dedicated upper level study sits alongside a central retreat zone, complemented by a private ground floor home office for true work-from-home versatility.

The ground floor’s light-filled open-plan living and dining domain captures garden aspects through walls of glass, connecting effortlessly to a pool room or teen retreat with a bar and impressive 2000-bottle cellar beneath. The central kitchen is a centrepiece, pairing sleek stone surfaces with a host of premium Siemens appliances, butler’s pantry and a generous island for casual meals and effortless entertaining.

Outdoors, a vast covered terrace with outdoor kitchen, built-in barbecue and dining zone flows to a heated pool and spa framed by beautifully landscaped gardens, creating year-round enjoyment for family gatherings and poolside occasions.

Technology and sustainability are integral, with C-Bus lighting, integrated AV and security systems, solar hot water and a 20,000-litre underground water tank. An oversized double garage, carport, and additional driveway parking provide capacity for up to six cars, while abundant storage options and a well-appointed laundry room offer superb practicality for families.

Positioned on one of Glen Iris’s most desirable streets, this remarkable home is moments from Glen Iris Village, Harold Holt Swim Centre, Central Park, Gardiners Creek Trail and leading schools including Glen Iris Primary and Ashwood High. Easy access to elite private schools, the Monash Freeway, trams and trains completes a family lifestyle defined by connection, sophistication and architectural excellence.
