2A Stuart Avenue Cheltenham

Tucked away at the end of a private driveway, this architect-designed residence is a hidden sanctuary of contemporary design nestled within the leafy Pennydale precinct. Set on a deep, secluded battle-axe block of approximately 430 m2, the freestanding home makes a bold first impression with towering palm trees and a striking Modernist façade. Inside, expansive light-filled spaces unfold across two levels, offering four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and flexible dual-zone living designed to embrace the natural surroundings.

Crafted for both comfort and style, the home’s open-plan living and dining areas spill out to elevated decks on two sides, framed by lush garden views. A second lounge floats peacefully on the upper level, set among the treetops for a tranquil retreat. With the option of a master suite on either floor—each accompanied by a luxurious dual-vanity bathroom—the layout suits a range of lifestyles.

Design and detail are at the forefront, with rich Calacatta Arabescato marble surfaces, bespoke black wood grained cabinetry and soft oak flooring blending warmth with sophistication. Double-glazed windows are dressed in sheer linen and block-out blinds, while plush carpet zones the private quarters. The chef’s kitchen is both elegant and practical, featuring premium Bosch appliances (including a gas cooktop, concealed range hood and dual ovens), a walk-in pantry, and iconic George Nelson pendant lighting.

The home’s three bathrooms are finished in full-height light grey porcelain tiling from Spain, while the well-appointed laundry includes an additional shower—ideal for beach days or post-workout refreshes in the gym-ready auto-garage. Outdoor spaces are equally well considered, with landscaped gardens, wide entertaining decks, and a cantilevered upper floor creating protected alfresco zones.

Surrounded by nature yet connected to every convenience, this Palm Springs-inspired haven offers the best of Bayside living. Within walking distance to Southland shopping centre, and moments to Highett’s lively café culture, beaches, world-class golf courses and more - three train stations in close proximity with another Suburban Rail Loop station under construction—this is a rare opportunity to own a private architectural retreat in the heart of it all.
