2/1 Alison Street, Moorabbin

Forget the paintbrushes, the tradies and the never-ending renovation bills. This two-bedroom unit has already had its makeover, and the results are looking rather fabulous. Beautifully updated with quality fittings, stylish from front to back and with a private garden for good measure, it’s ready for its new owners to unpack and settle straight in.

An entry hall with a handy linen closet leads into the open-plan living and dining area, where brand-new hybrid floating floorboards bring a fresh, contemporary feel and a split-system air conditioner handles both the summer heat and the winter chill. The kitchen is a sleek sweep of white cabinetry that lines one wall and wraps around the corner, featuring subway tiles, generous storage, plenty of preparation space, a gas cooktop, stainless-steel oven and a dishwasher.

Both bedrooms have newly fitted robes and soft carpet underfoot, and the main has a split system of its own. The bathroom is a knockout. Think charcoal-grey tiles, a freestanding bath, walk-in shower with a waterfall rainhead, matte black tapware and a vessel basin on a timber vanity. The laundry has been refurbished too, with an ample storage and bench space. Outside, a deck steps down to a lawn framed by charcoal fencing, where a palm tree adds a touch of the tropics. There’s also a garage with backyard access and parking for two more cars in the driveway.

Highett Road’s cafés and shops are moments away, as are Highett and Moorabbin stations and Highett Shopping Centre, with Southland a short drive along Nepean Highway. The home is also zoned for Moorabbin Primary School and Sandringham College. With nothing left to do and so little upkeep, it’s a smart way to start out or scale down, and Saturday mornings can be spent at Moorabbin Reserve rather than in the hardware aisle.
