James Home Rating: 703 | June 2026

 

From the street, this begins as an Art Deco home. Beyond the front rooms, it becomes something entirely different.

 

The scale and ambition are immediately apparent. Large windows, abundant natural light, generous bedrooms, lift access, wine cellar, substantial underground parking and a living space that feels designed to make an impression. This is less renovation and more reinvention.

 

The brief was clearly not subtle. For families seeking space, convenience and a degree of wow factor, there is a lot here. The home delivers many of the features buyers typically associate with a brand-new build, wrapped behind a period façade.

 

Glen Iris has traditionally leaned towards more conservative family homes. This pushes well beyond that.
