12A Glen Orme Avenue, McKinnon, Vic 3204

Behind its crisp contemporary façade, this brand-new five-bedroom, four-bathroom residence has been planned around the realities of family life, then finished to a luxurious standard. Add an address in the McKinnon Secondary College and Ormond Primary School zones, with both a short walk away, and the appeal is undeniable.

The wide entry creates a strong first impression, leading past a private bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite to the expansive living and dining zone beyond. Timber floors stretch across a space large enough for a substantial dining table, deep sofas and the inevitable gathering of friends around the kitchen.

Positioned along one side, the kitchen looks straight across the living area. A long stone island provides plenty of preparation space, while 90cm induction cooking, streamlined cabinetry and a walk-in pantry put everything needed close at hand. Children can sit at the bench with homework, friends can settle in with a glass of wine, and whoever is cooking remains part of the conversation. At the rear, wide sliding doors open to a covered alfresco deck, with further decking extending into the sunshine. Open everything up and the entire back of the house becomes one sweeping entertaining area, catering to noisy family lunches, birthday celebrations and warm evenings that carry on outdoors.

Upstairs, the second lounge creates a natural break between the bedrooms. The main bedroom has a walk-in robe and ensuite with twin vanities, while another bedroom enjoys its own walk-in robe and private bathroom. Two further bedrooms include built-in robes and share a central bathroom with a bath, shower and double vanity, accompanied by a separate toilet. A walk-in linen cupboard has ample space for towels, bedding and the overflow of a full household.

Split-system air conditioning in every bedroom and both living areas lets everyone set the temperature to suit. A laundry, powder room, under-stair storage, rainwater tank and double garage with internal and rear access are the details that make a large home easier to run.

All this comes with McKinnon Station and the McKinnon Road shopping strip within walking distance. Wattle Grove Reserve, Kilvington Grammar and North Road buses are close by, while Bentleigh Village, Chadstone and the beach are a quick drive away.

Nobody queues for a bathroom. Teenagers have a lounge of their own. Grandparents or guests can stay downstairs without climbing a stair. It’s perfect.
