48 Matthieson Street, Highett

This beloved family home, built in 1957, is being offered to the market for the very first time. Spanning approximately 694 square metres on a coveted corner block, the property holds a lifetime of happy memories, and now it’s ready for a new chapter. How the story unfolds is entirely up to you.

Though the home could benefit from a makeover, its potential is undeniable. The layout incorporates a lounge, a functional kitchen and meals area, three bedrooms, including one with built-in robes and a study. There’s also a bathroom, a second toilet next to the laundry, split-system air conditioners, and a covered patio that looks out over the spacious rear garden.

But it’s the generous block size and dual street frontages that truly steal the show here, opening up a world of possibilities for those with vision. Whether you’re considering renovation or dreaming of building one or more luxury homes (subject to council approval), the allotment gives you the freedom and flexibility to shape something special. In the meantime, the home can easily be rented out while you finalise your plans.

The location couldn’t be more convenient, with Southland’s shopping, dining, and entertainment options just a short walk away, along with Southland Station and local parks, including St William Fry and Turner Road Reserves. Plus, it’s zoned for Cheltenham Primary and Secondary College, making it ideal for families looking for a long-term opportunity.

We donate a portion of our fee from every property transaction to the Woodards Foundation to support people experiencing homelessness, family violence and social isolation.
