2/38 Great Valley Road, Glen Iris, Vic 3146

Positioned beside the serene banks of Back Creek, this architecturally designed 3-bedroom home with a dedicated study delivers the perfect balance of natural beauty and sophisticated functionality-an ideal retreat for a young professional couple seeking style, space, and tranquillity.

Asian-inspired design cues, including vertical slatted pergolas and long internal sightlines, create a visually striking entry that draws the eye through to floor-to-ceiling windows and leafy green views. The interiors are light-filled and refined, with Nordic pine, lime-washed ceilings, slate flooring, and thoughtfully zoned living spaces that offer both privacy and connection.

From the double garage, you can access the mudroom or enter via the impressive foyer with its floating staircase. The north-facing main lounge anchored by a Jindara wood heater flows effortlessly to a sun-drenched deck beside a mini orchard, ideal for morning coffees or evening wine.

The central hub of the home features an entertainer's kitchen with a huge walk-in pantry, premium appliances, and seamless flow into both formal and informal dining areas. These spaces open to a rear deck overlooking native landscaping and winding eucalypts leading toward Nettleton Park-perfect for weekend walks or unwinding after work.

Designed with productivity in mind, a spacious home office or study near the entrance provides an ideal remote working environment, complete with leafy views and a nearby powder room. Two generous rear bedrooms, both with built-in robes and integrated desks, offer versatile options for guests, hobbies, or additional workspace. The luxurious main suite occupies the mezzanine level and boasts a private balcony, spa ensuite, reading nook, built-in robes, and a serene study corner.

A west-facing sitting room connects to a tranquil pond-side deck, while the laundry provides functional outdoor access. Additional features include a freestanding bungalow/workshop, wood and garden sheds, wet bar, ceiling fans, evaporative cooling, hydronic heating, roof storage, and three water tanks (17,000L). There's ample off-street parking with a double garage and space for two more vehicles.

With easy access to trains, buses, trams, boutique shopping, cafes, and extensive parkland-including Ferndale and Gardiners Creek trails-this home is perfectly positioned for those who value connection to both city and nature.
