59b Barrington Street, Bentleigh East, Vic 3165

More than just cutting-edge living, more than just a cool poolside life, this one makes a splash with future-forward design and a McKinnon Secondary College Zone address! Architect-designed, this four bedroom plus home-office, three bathroom home adds a splash of light, luxe and poolside living to family life - with a north-facing family zone soaring to a 5.7m vaulted roofline, and a first-floor lounge separating parents’ and kids’ wings. 

Adaptably accommodating with a spectacular first-floor master-suite plus a unique ground-floor virtual suite with private entry, this benchmark home steps into the light with 3m ground-floor ceiling heights rising up to skylit voids front and rear, tall doors enhancing proportions inside and out, and walls of commercial double-glazing wrapping two sides. 

A showcase of clever architectural detail from sleek squareset ceilings, to streamlined custom cabinetry (including for the glass-wrapped home-office), to towering skylights, the home features well-designed fully-tiled bathrooms including a dual-vanity ensuite with freestanding bath in a clever wet-room design, and a big main bathroom with a second sculptural standalone bath.  

Immensely functional and always fresco-focused with a customised butler’s pantry and bench-seated courtyard wrapping the state-of-the-art Smeg kitchen, and a deep SIlvertop Ash deck reaching out to the glass-fenced tiled heated pool, the home showcases leading-edge interior design with textural Calacatta stone benchtops, velvety charcoal cabinetry, satiny European Oak floors, matt-black hardware and the latest pebbled-wool carpets. 

Daikin climate-controlled over two zones with high-end Dahua video intercom, alarm plus CCTV, the home is set in expertly landscaped and lit grounds with a clever amenity area hidden beyond the pool’s water feature wall, solar-hot-water and an auto-garage plus parking. With Coatesville Primary School and McKinnon Secondary College in-zone, this is benchmark low-maintenance family luxe just minutes to stations, Chadstone and parklands.
