Subscribe to regular market updates. This perfect downsizer or first home on its own title with commanding views across Highton beckons the buyer looking for a home in a peaceful, safe, but convenient part of this sought-after suburb. One of eight stand-alone, independently owned, properties in a gated community. Near the end of the shared driveway, the two-storey home on a 361sqm block, has been designed to capture scenic views from multiple rooms and centralise living on the upper floor which is at entry level. It has lovely living areas that benefit from the northerly aspect capturing the warm winter sun. An enclosed deck leading out from the kitchen and meal area is a true retreat. It’s a perfect place to relax and enjoy the stunning views and changing seasons. And then there’s a charming, spacious light filled lounge room with a gas log fire that captures an equally impressive view. The modern kitchen-meals area, which adjoins the deck, is well equipped with a dishwasher, an electric stove with ceramic top, an island moveable bench and many drawers of varying depth. And while the living and dining spaces have a natural indoor-outdoor flow, the lounge room and hallway can be closed off to create separate living zones creating privacy and controlling temperature levels. Off the hallway, are two lovely bedrooms. The main bedroom includes a large walk-in robe with cupboards and hanging space and a big ensuite with a bath and shower and access from the hallway and the bedroom. The good sized second bedroom enjoys the wonderful view and built-in-robes. Downstairs, is an area that would be ideal for guests or someone needing independence. It has its own entrance, along with a large bedroom with a built-in robe and a bathroom that includes a shower and a toilet. There’s also a workshop and lots of under-house storage on this level. It’s not just the indoor spaces that show off how beautifully maintained this property is. Outside, the private back and side yards include a low maintenance garden, paving, a raised vegetable garden and a gazebo providing an undercover seating area. Clever additions make this a highly functional home. It is served by ducted heating, evaporative cooling, split system in main living area, solar panels and water tanks that connect to the laundry and toilets through the Rainbank system. And there are two garages, one on the upper floor which provides internal access – great for unpacking the shopping – and another on the lower floor. Buyers will love this property’s proximity to all that Highton has to offer. It’s an easy walk to the Highton Shopping Village, Highton and Montpelier Primary schools, the tennis and bowling clubs, two churches, playgrounds, public transport and allied health professionals.
