'Right-sizers' wanting the perfect combination of lifestyle, space and low-maintenance living are turning to Glen Iris’s customisable new townhomes.
Orchard Mews is the latest offering by Melbourne-based property developer MontCoeur, which is part of the Point Polaris Group.
“Orchard Mews is about 'right'-sizing, not 'down'-sizing. With three, four or five bedrooms and up to three customisable living zones, purchasers at Orchard Mews can make their own home – their own," says Point Polaris and MontCoeur Managing Director Andrew Hogan.
"We are very focused on how we enhance our purchasers' lives in our developments. We are finding that purchasers can maintain their existing friendships in the area and upgrade their lifestyle whilst creating new long-term friendships."
Designed by acclaimed studio Cera Stribley with landscaping by Jack Merlo, these luxury townhomes encapsulate a harmonious blend of contemporary design and environmental sensitivity.
Orchard Mews is a collection of townhomes along Scott Grove in Glen Iris, one of Melbourne's most beautiful tree-lined streets.
Spacious, elegant and timeless
The architecture of Orchard Mews is refined and timeless, with classic proportions, elegant forms and natural materials featuring predominantly.
Cera Stribley has designed the homes to sit beautifully within the established leafy green streetscape of Scott Grove.
Inside the homes, sustainability is an important design principle, with lots of natural light, high indoor air quality, cross-ventilation, no screens blocking views, and EV-ready infrastructure.
Each townhome has a double lock-up garage, a private lift, up to three living zones and a multi-purpose room.
“Right-sizers are really well catered for and it’s unique to any other development that we’ve seen in Melbourne,” says Mr Hogan.
Each Orchard Mews residence is designed with a timeless architectural style that blends luxury with functionality.
Luxury townhomes with a difference
What sets Orchard Mews apart from other developments is firstly the size of the townhomes – they range from three to five bedrooms and feature ample shared space.
“The three living zones provide a harmonious blend of togetherness and personal space,” says Mr Hogan.
“One person might be in the multi-purpose room, another might be in the central kitchen/living/dining space, and the kids or grandkids are upstairs doing their homework or hanging out."
Mr Hogan says another distinguishing feature of Orchard Mews is the customisable multi-purpose room, offering flexibility and convenience.
“We went to great lengths to include the flexibility in the multi-purpose room – that’s a big differentiator,” he says.
“The residents can choose from a golf simulator, gym/wellness, a wine room, an art or music studio, a private cinema, an entertaining lounge, or whatever the purchaser's imagination can dream of."
The multi-purpose room in each Orchard Mews townhome adds an additional level of flexibility.
Leafy lifestyle in a prestigious postcode
Situated on the Malvern side of Glen Iris about 13km south-east of Melbourne’s CBD, Orchard Mews is a stone’s throw from restaurants and cafes, as well as excellent private schools.
It’s a short distance to High Street, Armadale, Melbourne’s premier hub for fashion, food, shopping and lifestyle, to Glenferrie Road, Malvern, and a similar distance to Chadstone Shopping Centre.
There are also stunning parks and recreational facilities nearby, making Glen Iris attractive to luxury lifestyle buyers.
“It’s a very well-to-do neighbourhood,” says Mr Hogan.
“It’s the leafy streets, it’s the restaurants, it’s the cafes, it’s the access to the freeway and public transport that makes Scott Grove so appealing.”
“It’s really well located in a great spot in Melbourne.”
Glen Iris is a prestigious, family-friendly suburb in Melbourne's south-east known for its leafy streets.
A sense of community awaits
Three-bedroom townhomes at Orchard Mews start from $1.99 million. Construction is commencing and 30% of Orchard Mews has already sold.
As a developer, getting the community established at Orchard Mews is one of MontCoeur’s key drivers.
To help achieve this, Orchard Mews has a concierge to manage social events and support buyers transitioning into the development, with a pre-move in dinner at Vue De Monde planned for residents to get to know each other.
The design of the development itself also includes spaces that lend themselves to informal catchups at the front of the development, where community can thrive.
“A lot of developers develop buildings. We do that, but we also think about how the community gets established,” says Mr Hogan.
“Right-sizing is a life-changing decision, particularly when residents are used to their current norms. Right-sizing is not saying goodbye to your existing life – it’s upgrading your lifestyle and adding a new friendship network to your life."
“We’re very strong on establishing our community and making sure everyone has a positive experience through the purchase, move in and settle in phases. It really is a unique opportunity for the lucky few that purchase into Orchard Mews.”
