One of just two on the block, this renovated double-storey weatherboard does something special. It gives you space, a second level and a character facade without handing you a weekend maintenance list.
Behind the front porch, the ground floor moves with an easy progression. Three bedrooms sit toward the front of the home. The main includes an open fireplace, ensuite and two sets of built-in robes, while a central bathroom services the remaining bedrooms.
The kitchen is modern with a dishwasher, breakfast bar and a walk-in pantry. It opens to a family and dining room that flows through sliding doors to a covered alfresco area with a northerly aspect, overlooking paving that extends the entertaining options. A second door off the living zone leads to a side verandah, so there's more than one way to move between inside and out.
Upstairs is where the layout separates itself. A generous retreat sits alongside a sitting room reached via double doors. It works as a teenagers' zone, a home office away from household noise, or a second living area. There is also split system air conditioning up here, plus roof storage access from the top of the staircase.
Outside, the grounds have been set up to need very little from you, with a grassed area out front and low-maintenance surrounds throughout.
Floorboards, under-stair storage, a linen cupboard, ducted heating, a front car space and a gated rear entry leading to a single carport are further highlights.
The location is central Highett at its best. Walk to Highett Station and the shopping strip, close to bus routes, Southland, and Eddie and Sir William Fry Reserves and zoned for Moorabbin Primary School and Sandringham College. A welcoming home for families who want warmth and room to move without the usual suburban upkeep.
