Summary: Settle In Now, Secure The McKinnon Zone
Description: Buyers bookmark this pocket and wait. Set on a north-facing allotment of approximately 585 square metres, the home sits in the heart of the McKinnon Secondary College and Coatesville Primary School zones, both an easy walk away and a big part of why this neighbourhood remains so tightly held. Inside, the generosity of the proportions is immediately apparent. A formal living room at the front is balanced by a separate family and dining zone, while a dedicated meals area sits beside the timber kitchen, complete with dishwasher and excellent storage. Three good-sized bedrooms are serviced by two bathrooms, a real bonus in a single-level home of this era, particularly for growing families or households that value a bit of separation. Out the back, the block shows its true value. The backyard is private and offers room to extend, whether you're thinking alfresco pavilion, home office, or more breathing space for the kids and the dog. (STCA) Ducted heating, split-system air conditioners, electric and manual security window shutters, and two water tanks are all in place. A carport leads through to a two-car garage, complemented by extra off-street parking along the driveway and a storeroom behind the garage. The beauty here is the flexibility. Move in tomorrow and live in it comfortably while you plan your next move. Update when you're ready, or hold long-term with both school zones locked in and the capital growth that tends to follow. Moments from East Bentleigh Shopping Centre, Chadstone, Mackie Road Reserve, and GESAC, this is the kind of position where families buy once and tend to stay. We donate a portion of our fee from every property transaction to the Woodards Foundation to support people experiencing homelessness, family violence and social isolation.

Summary: Family Proportions Meet Low-Maintenance Luxury
Description: House-sized proportions meet a low-maintenance mindset in this contemporary residence, one of just two, delivering family-sized space and a luxurious level of finish with quality at every turn.
