Luxury Reservoir home gives off resort vibes with floating staircase, handpainted mural

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.
