A Melbourne developer’s luxury townhouse is grabbing the attention of families searching for a move-in ready home in Bentleigh East.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence at 4A Moray St has been listed with a $1.895m price guide.

Oxford Development Group director Kallan Carabott, who has released his latest project following the success of a Murrumbeena home that achieved a $2.1m suburb record in May, said his vision has come to life quickly.

The home’s floorplan includes open living, butler’s pantry, guest bedroom, and a powder room on the ground floor to allow overnight guests separate from the main sleeping quarters. Features include polished granite benchtops and splashbacks, Smeg appliances, a vintage wine fridge, beach oak timber floors and a brushed nickel tapware.

“We’re bringing in a modern design that has family values,” Mr Carabott said.

Elsewhere there is natural polished tundra grey granite, Smeg appliances, a vintage wine fridge, white plank oak timber flooring and a frameless shower screen.

Top-of-the-range Smeg appliances and a vintage wine fridge sit in the kitchen.


Mr Carabott said he enjoys the challenge of “re-imagining” homes in the part of Melbourne’s southeast where he grew up.

“Starting the design off well is crucial – as well as having a good architect passionate about design and a builder who is on the same page,” he says.

The home’s low-maintenance yard


The downstairs of the home includes one-bedroom and ensuite, perfect for dual living opportunities or a guest bedroom.


Mr Carabott said he wanted to look back in 10 years and be proud of the work put into his projects.

“The goal I have set for the business is to produce something not only of quality but longevity,” he said.

“Building prices are high, and the quality isn’t great across the industry right now – if it costs us a little bit more to build, that is a sacrifice we are willing to take.”

Jellis Craig Bentleigh director Andrew Panagopoulos said families were mainly interested in the home.

“The separation of the two living rooms, one upstairs and one downstairs has been appealing for buyers,” Mr Panagopoulos said.
