THE DEAL

Big, beachside, and built to impress. A masterful transformation has elevated this exquisite five-bedroom, three-bathroom residence to a new level of coastal elegance, with a design that’s as sharp as it is stylish. Steps from the sand and a couple of doors from McDonald-Healy Reserve, it delivers space, light, luxury and a layout that knows how to make life easy.

Architectural finishes and exceptional light steal the show once inside, with skylit-cathedral ceilings, engineered oak underfoot, and full-length sheers, adding softness to the bold, clean lines. Three distinct living areas, a fitted home office, and two ensuite bedrooms—including a luxe main upstairs with WIR and a ground-floor guest room with ensuite access—mean everyone has unique space. And when it’s time to turn it up a notch for entertaining, the open-plan living zone spills straight onto the deck and landscaped gardens, where long afternoons roll into balmy nights with a Zeigler & Brown plumbed-in gas BBQ taking centre stage in the outdoor kitchen.

The kitchen means serious business. With a three-metre stone island, high-end Bosch appliances, integrated dishwashers, dual integrated fridges, and a spacious butler’s pantry - it is built to keep up with the chaos whilst offering a seamless connection to the alfresco area through a servery window and continuous bar. A wood-burning fireplace adds a focal point for the living room, while a dedicated dining area, complete with built-in storage and a Vintec wine fridge, keeps the essentials within arm’s reach.

Thoughtful extras like an outdoor shower, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, 9kw solar, reverse-cycle heating/cooling systems, a large laundry with ample storage, CCTV, alarm system and plenty of parking with the bonus of in-driveway lighting prove that no detail has been left to chance. Even the dog has its own sleeping nook with direct outdoor access.

SEALS THE DEAL

Only 300 metres to the bay, Parkdale Yacht Club, and your morning coffee by the water, and with Mentone Grammar, Mentone Girls’ Grammar, St Bedes, Kilbreda College and Parkdale Primary all within a short walk or bike ride - this is family living on another scale.
