15 Van Ness Avenue

Characterised by bold horizontal lines and a sculptural architectural form, this architect-designed residence showcases a refined contemporary facade, softened by Japanese-inspired landscaping and layered greenery. At the front, a spacious formal living area is framed by full-height glazing, inviting abundant natural light and creating an immediate sense of openness, while a generously sized bedroom with built-in cabinetry is peacefully set alongside. Polished concrete flooring extends throughout, enhancing the home's cohesive modern aesthetic, complemented by split system heating and cooling for year-round comfort. At the heart of the home, a striking curved stone kitchen takes centre stage, its arc-shaped island serving as both a functional workspace and a standout design feature. Extensive integrated cabinetry, elegant pendant lighting, and premium appointments including a Gaggenau gas cooktop reinforce the kitchen's sleek, contemporary appeal, while highlight windows introduce soft natural light. The expansive living and dining zone flows seamlessly from this central hub, with fullheight doors opening to a large decked terrace overlooking a heated pool and established gardens creating a tranquil yet impressive setting for entertaining. Toward the rear, beneath a soaring void, a light-filled hallway with a gently curved wall and polished concrete floors continues the home's sculptural theme. A glass door at the end of the corridor connects directly to the outdoor area, enhancing the seamless indoor-outdoor transition. Privately positioned, the main suite includes a walk-in robe and ensuite, while two to three additional bedrooms are serviced by a central bathroom featuring a spa bath, separate shower, and toilet. A dedicated home gym adds further appeal, alongside a versatile office (or fourth bedroom) with built-in cabinetry and two skylights, enjoying direct internal access to the remote double garage. A spacious walk-in laundry and separate toilet complete the thoughtfully designed floorplan. This is a home of striking architectural presence and peaceful retreat, designed to balance relaxed everyday living with effortless entertaining, all within a prized location close to Ferndale Park, leading schools, Glen Iris Station, local cafés and eateries, and Tooronga Village.
