161 Wickham Road, Moorabbin VIC 3189
3 bed 1 bath 2 car | 286m² land | double brick character | north-facing yard | single bathroom constraint
This property offers a rare combination of original double-brick construction and a north-facing low-maintenance yard, which is uncommon for a 3-bedroom house on a 286m² lot in Moorabbin. The retained timber detailing and floorboards provide genuine character that newer builds lack, while the covered carport and garden shed add practical storage. It sits in the established family-house segment of the suburb, best suited to couples or small families who value ground-level living, proximity to Southland and beaches, and a quiet street setting. The single bathroom and modest land size mean it will not appeal to larger households, but for the target buyer, the configuration is functional and the location is strong.
The single bathroom may limit appeal for families who prefer two bathrooms, and the older kitchen and bathroom, while tidy, may prompt a renovation budget. The land size is smaller than many detached houses in the area, which could affect resale if buyers prioritise larger blocks. However, the double-brick build and north-facing orientation are durable advantages that support long-term value. Buyers should weigh the cost of any updates against the price guide, as the property’s character and location may command a premium despite the bathroom count.

Moorabbin VIC 3189
Moorabbin is a well-connected, established suburb attracting a professional demographic, underpinning its stable market positioning. Demand is driven by young professionals and families drawn to its transport links and quality schooling options. Recent price trends show a softening in the house market, though transaction activity remains steady, indicating balanced conditions. Future growth is supported by solid population increases, while key risks include affordability pressures and potential sensitivity to interest rates for investors given current rental yields.
