32 Marlborough Street, Bentleigh East, Vic 3165

Thoughtfully curated with a rare and enduring attention to detail, this brand new and palatially proportioned, builder’s own masterpiece is bathed in natural light while offering a coveted north-facing alfresco flow to delight home entertainers. Underpinned by quality at every opportunity, the home is set under spectacular 3.2 metre ceilings both downstairs and upstairs, differentiated from so many other by top-of the-range fixtures, bespoke joinery, endless storage and a 6.5 star energy rating that is the envy of many. 

Absolutely brimming with natural light, the home’s heart is an open-plan kitchen / dining / living where a full suite of Smeg appliances – including twin ovens and an integrated refrigerator – is complemented by a welcoming, waterfall-edged island of stone that serves as a family friendly 4-seater breakfast bar. 

Seamlessly, a set of north-facing concertina doors extend the open-plan outdoors to a deck that worships the northern sun and is perfect for both large and small-scale gatherings with family and friends. 

The primary bedroom is palatial. Set upstairs with endless custom built-in robe storage that reaches from the floor to the soaring ceilings, it also features a fully-tiled five-star ensuite in which an oversized walk-in shower is complemented by a feature bathtub and a double basin vanity. 

Each of the remaining bedrooms – including the downstairs guest room, which is also perfect for intergenerational family life – have been completed with copious amounts of storage and ensuites that are fully-tiled, impeccably stylish and appointed with oversized showers. 

Set in fully secure, drought-tolerant native gardens, this details-oriented home also features an internally accessed double garage and a combination of double and triple glazing throughout to ensure the brilliant northern light does not translate into excessive cooling costs. Further highlights include split system heating and cooling throughout, solar power panels on the roof, a large laundry, powder room and an inspired use of skylights. 

This is a particularly rewarding position in the zone for Bentleigh Secondary College and a short stroll from GESAC, while Centre Road’s thriving shopping and café strip is also just moments away, as is the iconic Oasis Café, the charms of Murrumbeena Village, the city-bound trains of Murrumbeena Railway Station and the convenience of Chadstone Shopping Centre.
