2/26 Norville Street, Bentleigh East

One of two on the block, this single-level brick unit comes with something you almost never see in a two-bedroom layout. Both bedrooms have their own ensuite.

The entry opens to a lounge with a bay window, where natural light fills the room and carries through to the dining area and a modern kitchen with gas cooking and a dishwasher. Floorboards run through these zones, giving the interior a consistent feel. Out the back, an extensive timber deck opens up the alfresco entertaining options, while low-maintenance surrounds mean there is very little to look after beyond using it.

The main bedroom includes a walk-in robe and ensuite, with direct access to the rear deck for an easy indoor-outdoor connection. The second bedroom sits at the front of the home with built-in robes and its own ensuite with a shower. A separate powder room keeps both bathrooms private.

The bonus here is the studio. It works as a second living zone, home office, gym, hobby room or creative space, and can also be converted back to a single car garage if required. A carport, ducted heating, split system air conditioning and ceiling fans add to the comfort.

The layout suits a wide range of buyers. Downsizers get one-storey ease with two bathrooms, first-home buyers get into the market without a renovation project, and investors benefit from a floor plan that comfortably supports two tenants sharing.

Walk to Centre Road shops, cafés including Boosa, Merchants Guild and The Little Flower and multiple bus routes. Bentleigh Station on the Frankston line connects you to the CBD in under 30 minutes. Centenary Park, Bailey Reserve and GESAC are all nearby, with Southland a short drive away. Zoned for East Bentleigh Primary School and Bentleigh Secondary College.

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.
