19 The Highway, Bentleigh VIC 3204

Highway frontage | 5-bedroom family scale | McKinnon Secondary zone | 2010 build with heritage overlay | 557m² lot This property offers a rare combination of a substantial 310m² building footprint on a 557m² lot within the McKinnon Secondary College catchment, a key demand driver for family buyers in Bentleigh. The 2010 construction reduces immediate maintenance risk, while the five-bedroom, five-bathroom configuration suits multi-generational living or high-end rental potential. The heritage overlay, often seen as a constraint, here provides a degree of streetscape protection that can support long-term value stability in a street with 85% owner-occupancy. The heritage overlay introduces specific approval requirements for any external alterations, which may limit future redevelopment options but also deters speculative overbuilding. The property’s positioning on The Highway means traffic noise should be assessed during inspections, though the double garage and off-street parking mitigate some street exposure. For a buyer seeking a turnkey family home in a strong school zone with limited supply, this property represents a positioned entry into a tightly held pocket.
