Hamptons themed home hidden in Highton

LIGHT, bright and spacious living are the hallmarks of this Hamptons-style Highton residence

Recently built 27 Woolondoon Drive, Highton is ready to move in for its new owners to make their own while still offering potential to continue improving and adding personal touches to the classy home.

The home has three separate living spaces, including one near the family bedroom end, one incorporated into the open plan kitchen/dining/family area and a theatre room to the rear.

There’s four bedrooms in total, including a main towards the back of the home that includes a walk-in robe and ensuite and three smaller bedrooms all with built-in robes towards the front.

The roomy 613-square-metre block includes low-maintenance gardens and an outdoor entertaining space accessed from the main living area.

Eastwood Andrews agent Andrew Crowhurst said the property would suit families with young children right up to teenagers with its three separate living areas.

“The spacious, open plan nature of it and multiple living zones will suit a young family really well,” he said.

“You’ve got a living area at the front around three zoned off bedrooms, that comes through to living, kitchen and family, and there’s a theatre room at the back too.

“To have those three living areas is quite unique nowadays on a single level home.”

Crowhurst said the indoor space also provided plenty of room for home office setups that are becoming increasingly popular among professionals.

Meanwhile, the property’s steady terrain in hilly Highton also hints at potential for further improvements outside.

“There’s a north-facing backyard with room for a pool and garage access form the rear yard, which is a real bonus.

“When it comes to that area, a lot of it is fairly up and down and sloping. This has a relatively flat block, which is great and there’s scope to develop rear north-facing yard.

“People are finding that part of Highton is often very good value for money, and has quite substantial homes with a reasonable size block.

“There’s good accessibility to everything, [and] 613sqm block is a good size. A lot of blocks out of town at moment like at Armstrong Creek are around 450sqm and below.”

The property is also well-located in a quiet pocket of Highton but with easy access to important services such as schools in the suburb through to private schools in Newtown.

Mr Crowhurst said the its proximity to the Geelong Ring Road was also a key selling point, especially to the continued interest from Melbourne buyers who were after a quick and easy way to drive to the city as needed.

“That’s something we see with a lot of people we’ve sold to in that area, [they] have come from Melbourne and the ring road access is very important.”
