1/153 Barrabool Road, Highton VIC 3216

3-bedroom townhouse | 2-bath, 2-car configuration | low-density owner-occupied complex | above-median positioning in Highton This property sits in a small nine-dwelling complex where 90% of residents are owner-occupiers, which typically translates to better upkeep, quieter common areas, and more stable capital growth than rental-heavy blocks. The two-bathroom, two-car configuration is genuinely rare for a three-bedroom unit in Highton and gives it a clear edge over the typical one-bathroom offering in this price segment. The land size of 481 square metres is unusually generous for a unit and may offer future subdivision or extension potential, though this should be verified against the strata plan. The property is best suited to families wanting single-level living or downsizers who value space and parking, and its proximity to Highton Primary School adds practical appeal for buyers with young children. The main risk is price positioning: the guide sits well above the suburb median for three-bedroom units, and the comparable at the same address with a lower guide suggests the premium must be justified by condition, orientation, or internal fit-out. The land size may be a lot entitlement rather than exclusive use area, so a title search is essential before relying on that figure. Flood overlay on a nearby comparable is a reminder to check the property’s own planning certificate. The opportunity lies in the low-density, owner-occupied character of the complex, which tends to hold value better during market corrections. Hold this property as a long-term family home or as a low-maintenance investment in a stable suburb with good school demand.
