49B Jackson Road, Highett, Vic 3190

Some homes make an entrance without the theatrics, and this one does it with quiet confidence, letting impeccable detail and intelligent design take the lead. Amongst a classic, leafy neighbourhood, this brand-new single-level home's striking solid brick façade makes an impact, extending beyond convention, wrapping from the exterior to the soffit and into the interiors. Thermal qualities and repurposed materials reinforce the home's integrity, whilst a porthole window and skylights punctuate the form, highlighting the red brick and recycled terracotta tiles from the original dwelling that bridge past and present.

Northern light filters through three-metre ceilings and expansive skylights, casting shifting patterns across oak herringbone floors, leading from the gallery hall to open-plan living and dining areas that amplify volume, light and flow. Oversized sliding glass extends the interior to a fantastic al-fresco setting, where built-in seating and a Weber BBQ sit against a tiled boundary that channels the ambience of a private rooftop escape. In the kitchen, raw beauty meets precision. Granite benchtops, a polished plaster feature wall and premium appliances, including a Smeg oven, Asko induction cooktop, Asko dishwasher and fridge/freezer, elevate the everyday. A scullery/laundry and guest powder room extend the home's intelligent footprint, with a side landscaped courtyard that leads from the garage, which is ideal for entertaining.

Three bedrooms precede the living domain, each with a courtyard and ensuite access. The sumptuous main suite introduces fitted walk-in robes and a private dual marble vanity ensuite, while two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a deep bath. Underfloor bathroom heating, zoned bulkhead heating and cooling, 150mm thick external walls for added thermal insulation, a 4000L underground water tank and automated irrigation to the front garden only emphasise efficiency and turn-key brilliance. Within walking distance to Southland Station, Westfield, and Sir William Fry Reserve, along with Highett Village, excellent schools, Sandringham Village, and the bay only minutes away, this is exceptional living on another level.
