11 Derry Street

Bentleigh East VIC 3165

This is not your standard townhouse. It’s architectural, contemporary and deliberately different, with scale and detail rarely seen. From the street, the rendered façade and steel high gate set the tone. Inside, the impact is immediate. Polished concrete floors run throughout the ground level, bringing an edgy feel, warmed by hydronic heating. A soaring 5.7-metre ceiling lifts the main living area, where full-height windows flood the space with light and a striking crystal chandelier becomes a sculptural centrepiece. A brick feature wall adds texture, while a fireplace anchors the room beautifully. Bifold doors open the living area to the front yard, filtered by sheer curtains, creating a seamless connection between inside and out. The dining zone opens to the rear through another set of bifold doors, leading to a private backyard with patio, decking and a water tank, perfect for relaxed entertaining without the garden upkeep. The kitchen is a standout. A Marrakech-rendered island sits at the centre, paired with a combination of a customised Italian stainless steel countertop/sink and stone benchtop. Milan appliances, a dishwasher and a pantry finished with timber doors complete a space that feels handcrafted rather than generic. The ground floor also includes a bedroom with built-in robes opposite a bathroom, along with a European laundry, under-stair storage and a split system.

Upstairs, hardwood floorboards continue through the staircase to a retreat area with glass balustrading overlooking the chandelier and living space below. The retreat/study, a potential third loft bedroom, office or whatever you want it to be. The main bedroom is generous and refined, with built-in robes and an ensuite bathroom detailed with marble tiled surfaces, a timber vanity bench, pendant lighting and a wall heater. Additional features include a single carport, solar hot water, NBN connectivity, an alarm system, and a mix of materials including hardwood timber doors throughout & Gessi Italian tapware that balances durability with character. Zoned for Coatesville Primary School and Bentleigh Secondary College, Bentleigh Station, Bentleigh Shopping Centre, Chadstone, Westfield Southland, Bailey Reserve, Centenary Park and GESAC are all close by. Bold, beautifully detailed and unapologetically individual, this is a home for buyers who value design, volume and craftsmanship, without sacrificing comfort or everyday functionality
