9 Maher Street, Highett, VIC, 3190, Australia

Stand out from the crowd in this exceptional streetfront classic. A rare find in the tightly-held retail and recreation precinct adjacent to Southland Shopping Centre, this standalone two-bedroom home offers substantial independence for both downsizers and step-uppers. Enjoy private, Owners Corporation-free land along with the perfect combination of freestanding space for today and the potential to add value in the future.

Spotless and sun-filled, this free-flowing design stretches out with a large lounge that opens wide to a sun-catching, north-facing dining area, leading out to an all-weather alfresco deck in the sun-drenched rear courtyard. Immaculately presented, the classic kitchen extends into the northern sunlight with its own pretty garden window. This independent home is so easy to enjoy, featuring a clever two-way bathroom with ensuite access to the main bedroom, a handy separate WC, and a large separate laundry.

Plushly carpeted and beautifully presented with robes in each bedroom, a ceiling fan in one, and a timeless neutral scheme throughout, this centrally heated and reverse-cycle air-conditioned home offers even more outdoors. Surrounded by private open space on all sides, with a pretty picket-fenced front garden and a rear entertainer's yard, the grounds wrap around in camellia-hedged style to provide space for pets and kids to play, as well as two-car parking, including an auto garage for peace of mind.

Best of all is the high-amenity Highett address, nestled between Highett Reserve's recreational space and Southland's retail therapy. It's within a daily dash of a choice of stations, a weekend stroll to Highett's hospitality, and just minutes to Bayside's lifestyle offerings, including the Sandbelt golf courses, beaches, and café society.
