3A Cochrane Avenue

This is family luxury with the volume turned right up, hidden away in a whisper-quiet cul-de-sac just one block from the beach. The contemporary architectural residence has the scale and entertaining power of a full-sized home with elite finishes throughout and a standard of design and execution that places it in a league of its own. Wide, light and beautifully composed from the outset, the entry draws you past a fitted study with custom joinery, a built-in desk and the ability to close the door when work, homework or privacy calls. Then the interior opens into a spectacular stretch of living, dining and entertaining, where pale timber floors, a gas fireplace and walls of glass create an elegant ambience. The kitchen is pure theatre. A waterfall-edge marble island anchors the space, while sleek cabinetry, premium appliances and a serious butler's pantry with a second cooktop and oven keep the mess, prep and catering out of sight. For family dinners, long lunches, big birthdays, Christmas and Friday night drinks, this is a residence that knows exactly how to host. Two sets of sliding doors pull the living area out to a vast deck and covered alfresco zone, complete with a barbecue kitchen for all-season enjoyment. It's private, landscaped and crafted with the same intent as the interior. There's enough room for a long table, lounging and an easy flow that makes people stay longer than planned. A ground-floor bedroom with walk-in robe, ensuite and outside access gives the home flexibility for guests, teenagers, grandparents or a second main bedroom option. Upstairs, the sculptural staircase rises to the second level, with a spacious retreat, three more bedrooms and bathrooms echoing the theme of understated glamour. The main bedroom is quietly indulgent, featuring his-and-hers walk-in robes and a luxe ensuite with twin vanities that makes getting ready feel like an occasion. Two further bedrooms each include walk-in robes and share a family bathroom with bath, shower and separate toilet. Zoned heating and cooling, a guest powder room, a double garage with internal entry, an underground water tank, back-to-grid solar and battery storage add quiet efficiency behind the style. Close to Mentone Village, the train station, Thrift Park Shopping Centre, Keith Styles Reserve and leading schools including Mentone Grammar, Mentone Girls' Grammar, St Bede's College and Mentone Girls' Secondary College, the home is also zoned for Beaumaris Secondary College and Mentone Primary School. Substantial, sophisticated and superbly crafted, it's a stunning sea change without leaving Melbourne.
