If there's one thing you must do, it's call out the winning bid for the deed to this long-held, much-loved and hugely rewarding 1,397sqm (approx) property come auction day. Up for grabs is a huge land parcel of just under a third of an acre at approximately 1,397sqm, along with an incredible 5 + bedroom home with all the mid-century-modern hallmarks of its charming 1960's design, emanating the simple joy and contentment of its fabulous era. All original and absolutely immaculate inside and out, this much-adored home has been in the one family since new, and is the backdrop of many happy memories, indeed. Ready for new memories - and though it pains us to say it, the possibilities and potential rewards for redevelopment (STCA) are aplenty with this prime zoned site - RGZ allowing the potential for a 20+ Apartment/4-Level + redevelopment (STCA). Heaven on earth for handymen, the ideal man-cave has been built under-croft at the rear, offering a double remote garage and a double carport, a huge adjoining workshop AND a large rumpus room ( potential studio/6th bedroom) with its own bathroom, PLUS under house storage spaces. Considered affluent when built, the home exemplifies thoughtful design, premium craftsmanship and understated elegance. Features such as the built-in conversational lounge where games were played or one might've sat with the rotary telephone, to the parquetry floors, pelmets, and bespoke joinery and cabinetry throughout, contributing to the overall feel. Comprising up to five bedrooms with robes (4 with desks/dressers). The 4th bedroom is divided by cupboards into two sections, opens various options for converting into a new master suite or extra living space. A cleverly designed family bathroom with a washroom, a separate bath, separate shower room and a separate toilet - perfect for those busy school mornings - and an equally sizable laundry and 2nd toilet, all easily reconfigured to work in best with your family. The kitchen and two large living/dining zones set at the rear, opening to a large terrace balcony overlooking the incredible manicured gardens, fruit trees and lawn (with a hydraulically operated clothesline!) that seem to stretch on forever! Brilliantly positioned in the heart of Highett's "Southland Precinct", mere moments on foot to Westfield Southland shopping, dining and entertaining precinct, as well as a safe/covered walk to and from Southland station for commuters. Buses nearby, Waves Leisure Centre, Highett and Sir William Fry Reserves, and bustling Cheltenham Village are at your fingertips.
