A unique home that combines Mid-century style with a range of contemporary updates, this true one-of-a-kind property occupies a generous 605m2 (approx) of perfectly-oriented land. With a simple & vintage design, including a classic flat roof and uncomplicated faade, once inside there are original cork tiles covering a concrete floor, timber lined ceilings and painted exposed brick all harking back to the 1950s origins.
Featuring a spacious living and dining zone that looks out to a sundrenched rear lawn, the home has had the investment of an upgraded stone kitchen with premium Miele appliances along with a renovated bathroom also with stone accents. Three good-sized bedrooms are offered in addition to split system heating & cooling and central heating through-out. A laundry, large garden shed, lock up garage and carport round off a rare package.
Perfect for the Avant Garde amongst us, this could be something very cool and different, alternatively, the regular block would easily accommodate a brand-new family home or even a subdivision (STCA). Within easy reach of Highett town centre and station, close to local cafes and the Bad Shepherd brewery, this neighbourhood is also near buses and moments to Southland.
