Move in this spring to Bentleigh with Laurel: Luxury townhomes with two living rooms

AT A GLANCE: 

• Developer: Metro Property Group
• Architect: ClarkeHopkinsClarke 
• Address: 33 Yawla Street, Bentleigh, VIC 3204
• Home Types: 4- and 5-bedroom townhomes
• Estimated Completion Date: Spring 2026

Bentleigh has long held a reputation as one of Melbourne’s most liveable inner-south suburbs. Tree-lined streets, a thriving village strip, green space around every corner – it’s a breezy way of life moments away from the bay. Now under construction, a brand-new townhome collection will sit quietly and confidently within it all.

Laurel at 33 Yawla Street is nearing completion for this spring. With residences still available, you can call it home very soon.

Room to live, room to grow

Each home at Laurel offers four or five bedrooms with two living rooms each. That second living area makes a real difference, whether it’s for a teenager who needs their own retreat, someone working from home, or simply the luxury of a separate lounge at the end of the day. The floor plans flex to fit however your family actually lives, right now and as things change.

Deep backyards open directly from the kitchen and living spaces, with a paved terrace for entertaining and a grassed area for play. Every home has street frontage and a private lock-up garage.

Designed by award-winning architects ClarkeHopkinsClarke, the interiors are finished to a high standard throughout with Miele appliances, a curved island bench, timber floors, 100% wool carpet, and ducted heating and cooling. Two colour schemes, light and dark, let you make it your own.

“We engaged with all members of the project team and held an initial visioning workshop for Laurel Bentleigh,” shared Toby Lauchlan, partner and architect at ClarkeHopkinsClarke.

“In Laurel, we have channelled all our knowledge, combined with our lived experience, into creating these adaptable, spacious, and connected residences.”

Walk to the train. Walk to Coles. Walk almost everywhere.

At Laurel, you will have easy access to a suite of local gems, amenities, and transport. Both Bentleigh and McKinnon train stations sit 400 metres from your front door. Bentleigh Station has you at Flinders Street in 28 minutes via the Frankston Line. Coles is the same distance, alongside Aldi and the full length of Centre Road’s 1.2-kilometre retail strip.

That strip covers a lot of ground. The Bentleigh Farmers’ Market runs on the fourth Saturday of every month. Dana Patisserie, Noisette, and Brewbaker Coffee handle the morning routine. Freddie’s Pizza Kitchen, Lotus Thai, and McKinnon Hotel take care of dinner. While Sonder Bar’s courtyard is there when you need something slower.

Green space is just as close. Allnutt Park, 750 metres away, has an adventure playground, off-leash dog areas, basketball rings, BBQ facilities, and bike paths. The Elster Creek Trail connects walkers and cyclists through 1.3 kilometres of natural corridor, linking to the broader 5-kilometre Elster Canal Trail. Dendy Park, Victory Park, and Bentleigh Reserve are all within easy reach, with the loved Brighton Beach just 4.6 kilometres away.

For families, Laurel sits within the Bentleigh West Primary School and Brighton Secondary College zones, with Ormond Primary School and Saint Paul’s Primary School also close by, all a short walk or ride from home.

Built to last, built sustainably

Laurel’s all-electric homes carry a 7.5-star NatHERS energy rating, with a 4.4kW solar system, double glazing, rainwater harvesting, and a heat-pump hot water system. No gas and EV-charger ready, the homes are more comfortable year-round and cheaper to run.

Additionally, developer Metro Property Group backs every home with a 10-year building guarantee. They’ve delivered for more than 8,000 families across Melbourne, and Laurel is their next chapter.

The numbers worth knowing

Homes at Laurel are priced from $1,595,000, each with at least three bathrooms and two car parking spaces.

A $50,000 deposit secures your place off the plan, and buyers can save up to $140,400 in stamp duty. With completion this spring, the wait is short, so don’t miss out.
