18 Sydenham St, Highett is a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1960. The property has a land size of 595m2 and floor size of 140m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in November 2023.
In this central, bay-side Highett pocket, just moments on foot from Bay Road's myriad of shops and businesses, a couple of blocks from both Sandringham College campuses; and the beach and great Bay Trail, Westfield Southland shopping and three train stations within an easy drive or bus ride away.
This mostly original brick home on 590sqm (approx) is a rare offering in this ever-appreciating location and is your chance to get into the market in a home that is genuinely affordable and offers a range of exciting opportunities.
This primed property is the developer's, investor's and new-home builder's dream come true - with a 15.3m (approx) frontage by a 39m (approx) block depth, an array of development opportunities are there to explore.
The great design shows thoughtful consideration with a north-facing entertaining courtyard etched into the side of the home - acting as an atrium-style suntrap to bring loads of additional sunlight into the main living/dining, main bedroom and lovely sunroom at the main entry.
An updated kitchen with a 900mm freestanding oven and a dishwasher, three generous bedrooms with built-in robes, a neat original bathroom, separate toilet and a large adjoining laundry which could certainly be reconfigured into additional bathroom space.
A modern paint palette, quality updated carpets and roller blinds, and outside, a carport and a garage/workshop, and glorious front and rear yards with plenty of space for the kids to play.
Bring the kids, pace out the space for a pool and give your architect the nod to start drafting up plans for your dream family home. Alternatively, measure out this prime site to fit multiple new residences (STCA) to maximise the return on your investment.
For renovators wanting to get their hands dirty, the existing 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom home can certainly be brought back to life and into today or extended, providing excellent cost, time and energy savings to the new owner, who are surely eager to start a life here!
