20 Sydenham Street, Highett, Vic 3190

Appreciate this mid-Century marvel or watch this prime address appreciate with something new! Surrounded by quality renovations and prestige new development, this approx. 597sqm property comes with an eclectic 1950s home, cool coastal gardens ....and so much potential to appreciate. Bring your vision to this adaptable two bedroom home and work with an already-extended north-facing dual living floorplan featuring a large formal lounge, an lofty vaulted ceilinged family zone and a vast main bedroom with the same sunny north orientation.

Updated with a granite benchtop kitchen with Miele appliances and a garden-view bay-window meals area, ducted heating and reverse-cycle air-conditioning, this versatile home showcases the distinctive detail of its era - and beyond. Retaining design features including an eye-catching Art Deco ceiling for the formal area, groovy random-stone fireplace mantles and original Australian hardwood floors, the home has been bespoke detailed by its artisan owner to feature craftsman-made cabinetry, a vibrant leadlight window for the vintage bathroom and an eye-catching "boomerang" door.

With carport parking, a rear studio and wraparound decking oriented to the north, this fabulous '50s find will reward a creative renovator with an eye for detail and a appreciation for Modernist design. Alternatively, reap the rewards of an in-demand Bayside address and create a new home or two (subject to Council Approval) designed for a modern family to enjoy this edge of Sandringham location.
