44 Arkaringa Crescent

Behind a refined contemporary profile, this substantial four bedroom, three bathroom residence brings together bay views, resort-inspired surroundings and exceptional family living in this premier Golden Triangle location. The sense of scale is immediate, beginning with an imposing front door opening to a wide entrance hall, where long sightlines and timber floors draw the eye through the home to the family zone and garden beyond. Family accommodation is arranged with flexibility in mind. Double doors open to a ground-floor bedroom where front garden aspects and an adjoining bathroom offer independence for older children, while beyond a dedicated study provides a quiet work space. At the rear, balancing openness with a strong sense of connection to the landscape, the living and dining spaces are centred around a beautifully appointed stone-finished kitchen with Ariston appliances, an oversized breakfast island and substantial butler's pantry. Walls of sliding glass extend the interiors out to a vast covered terrace, allowing the two to function as a single expansive entertaining space. Framed by towering palms, the gas-heated swimming pool and spa and gardens offer places to gather, relax and enjoy the outdoors, creating an atmosphere of complete escape. Upstairs, a substantial retreat enjoys outlooks towards the bay and gives everyone room to spread out. The main suite occupies a private position at the front, where a picture window captures views across the tree-tops, complemented by a walk-in robe and luxurious ensuite featuring a freestanding bath. Two further bedrooms with built-in robes sit either side of a bathroom with bath and separate shower. A powder room, zoned heating and cooling, extensive storage, a full laundry, 18 solar panels and battery storage, outdoor shower, video intercom and an internally accessed double garage with rear roller door further enhance a home that is as practical as it is impressive. The attraction here is undeniable. With the beach moments away, Black Rock Primary close by, world-class golf courses within easy reach and Black Rock Village just a stroll away, few places offer such a compelling combination. In addition to all the great amenities in Black Rock, this home is near a number of Melbourne's best private schools including Haileybury, Firbank Grammar, Brighton Grammar and Mentone Grammar.
