18A Lahona Avenue, Bentleigh East VIC 3165

Elevated above it all in a prized Bentleigh-border address, this sophisticated four bedroom plus home-office, 3.5 bathroom home maximises its prime family position with an accommodating dual-suite, dual zone design.

Built on an expansive scale with living-dining flowing to a bluestone terrace & pergola, this exceptional architect design adapts to family life with a large first-floor lounge zoning parents & kids apart. Cleverly accommodating with spectacular master-domain secluded behind a slide-away wall, there's a secondary ground-floor suite to provide seclusion for guests, in-laws or adult kids & a stunning entrance-level home-office positioned to work from home.

Combining family function & a luxury edge with dual Asko ovens & an integrated fridge-cavity for the chef's kitchen, this all-new home is crafted with floor-to-ceiling tiled bathrooms (two ensuites, two with dual-vanities & one with egg-bath) & bespoke storage options including a bench-seated dressing-area for the master, mud-room cabinetry, & home-office workstation & seating units.

Unfolding beyond a sculptural solid-timber entry-door to offer lofty 2.7m squareset ceilings upstairs & down, curvaceous shelving units at every turn, & a striking floating skeleton-stair, the home is finely styled with grey natural stone (even for the laundry & floating BBQ bench), matt-black tapware & French Oak floors.

Extensively double-glazed to maximise natural light & energy-efficiency, there are walls of sliding doors in two directions, a sun-catching window-splashback & a soaring skylight above it all. Climate controlled over two zones, with three CCTV angles & an alarm, even the outdoors are architecturally-styled with a streamlined auto-garage, & parking beyond an artisan planter-box fenceline.

Situated at a low-traffic address in the heart of the family precinct, this family-sized architect design is just around the corner to friendly local shops & Good Times cafes, five blocks to Tucker Rd Primary School, a kick to King George VI Reserve & a splash to GESAC & Centre Rd shopping.
