1/33 Nicholson Street

Ground-floor ease, three bedrooms, a genuine study, three bathrooms, a huge wraparound courtyard and two basement car spaces in the McKinnon Secondary College zone. For buyers who thought apartment living meant compromise, this brand-new one changes the rules. Set within The Aston opposite Bentleigh Station, this luxurious residence delivers the scale of a house with the security of a lock-and-leave lifestyle. It's a natural fit for downsizers wanting space without the upkeep, young families with education high on the list, and professionals who want the train, shops and dinner plans practically at the door. The entry opens into a generous living and dining area with sliding glass connecting to the alfresco terrace and a courtyard that wraps around to the north for outdoor entertaining, potted plants, children's play or one very happy dog. The kitchen is high-end and beautifully finished with stone benchtops, an induction cooktop, integrated dishwasher, breakfast bar seating and clean-lined cabinetry that keeps it looking sharp. Sleeping accommodation is impressive. The main bedroom includes three sets of built-in robes and an ensuite, the second also has robes and direct access to a semi-ensuite bathroom, while the third, also with built-ins, is served by a central bathroom. The home office is not squeezed into a corner or borrowed from a bedroom, it is a dedicated room with cupboards, giving you a private work zone, nursery, guest space or storage-rich hobby room. Add a European laundry, zoned refrigerated heating and cooling to every bedroom and the living area, video intercom, emergency speaker alarms, two secure underground car spaces and three storage cages, which is a combination you seldom see. With Bentleigh West Primary School zoning as well, Centre Road's cafés, Aldi, Coles, bakeries, restaurants and daily shopping are just metres away. Allnutt Park is also close by, adding a leafy local escape to this classy, contemporary and exceptionally substantial home. 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.
