Overview

Endless Possibilities in Highton’s Most Sought-After Pocket

A rare opportunity exists to secure a lifestyle property in one of Highton's most sought-after pockets. Set on a substantial 808m² (approx.) allotment, this home has stood the test of time and presents endless possibilities for first-home buyers, renovators, or savvy investors. Tucked away in a quiet location, it’s just a short stroll to the ever-popular Highton Village and only moments from the booming Waurn Ponds shopping precinct, Deakin University, Epworth Hospital, and the Geelong Ring Road. Families will appreciate the proximity to quality schools, Highton Reserve, and the picturesque Barwon River walking track, while public transport is conveniently close on South Valley Road. The home itself exudes charm and character, with spacious rooms throughout and high ceilings that create a welcoming, airy atmosphere. The north-facing lounge features a gas heater, while two of the three bedrooms come with built-in robes, offering both comfort and practicality. The kitchen provides generous storage with overhead and under-bench cupboards, a 4-burner stovetop and oven, and a large bench that wraps around the exterior wall, flowing effortlessly into a dining area. Completing the home is a laundry and a central bathroom with both bath and shower facilities. Outside, the backyard is a blank canvas, ready for reinvention, with a serene outlook onto mature trees. There’s potential for future redevelopment (STCA), making this an enticing proposition for those looking to capitalise on Geelong’s growing demand for townhouses and the area’s strong population growth. Whether you choose to move in immediately, renovate to craft your dream family home, or explore the possibilities of the expansive land, the opportunities here are truly endless. Perfectly positioned in a peaceful Highton pocket, this property offers convenience, lifestyle, and potential all in one. With schools, parks, shopping, and transport at your doorstep, it’s an exceptional opportunity for families, investors, or anyone looking to secure their piece of Highton’s future.
