51C Barrington Street, Bentleigh East VIC 3165

New build | McKinnon zone | East-facing courtyard | 6m void | Auction May 23 This property’s competitive edge lies in its rare combination of a brand-new luxury townhouse within the McKinnon Secondary College zone, a configuration that typically commands a premium due to high family demand. The dramatic 6m void and east-facing courtyard create a light-filled, spacious feel that is uncommon in new subdivisions, positioning it as a standout for buyers seeking immediate, high-quality living without renovation. It best serves families prioritizing school access and modern design over larger land holdings. The primary risk is its subdivided lot on a smaller 359m² parcel, which may limit long-term land appreciation compared to larger older homes on the street, and the auction format could push the price above the estimated value. However, the opportunity lies in its scarcity as a new, luxury option in a sought-after zone, potentially offering stronger rental yield than older houses. Hold this property for its school zone advantage and modern amenity, rather than land banking.
