A striking luxury home in Reservoir with soaring 3.5-metre ceilings and a backyard mural inspired by Southeast Asia has hit the market in Melbourne’s northern suburbs with a $1.595m price tag.
The three-bedroom residence at 17B Myrtle Grove has been labelled one of the suburb’s most unique homes, according to a local agent.
Barry Plant Reservoir’s Ross Kontossis said it had drawn strong interest from a broad pool of buyers, including young couples, families and even downsizers.

“We’re seeing strong interest from young couples, growing families and even some middle-aged downsizers who are after something unique and high-end,” Mr Kontossis said.
“This is not your standard home for the area — it’s been finished to an incredibly high standard with details you just don’t typically see.”
Behind its monochrome facade, the home opens to a grand foyer with polished concrete floors and a sculptural floating staircase — a centrepiece feature under a dramatic pendant light.
The gourmet kitchen includes Corian benchtops, an integrated Fisher & Paykel fridge and freezer, and a two-drawer dishwasher.
The open-plan meals and living area flows seamlessly to an enclosed alfresco zone with motorised blinds, ceiling fans, and a built-in barbecue set in Brazilian granite.
But it’s vibrant handpainted mural inspired by the owner’s travels in Southeast Asia, that gives the back yard a striking point of difference.
“There’s a real sense of creativity and personality here,” Mr Kontossis said.
“The vendor lives overseas and has poured a lot of care and thought into the design.”
Upstairs, the main suite features a walk-in robe and hotel-style ensuite, while a second bathroom includes a freestanding spa-style bath, dual vanity and heated towel rails.
There are also a home office, hydronic heating across both levels, zoned refrigerated cooling, privacy tinting, a state-of-the-art security system and a secure lockup garage.
