The renovated four-bedroom house at 2 Culzean Crescent, Highton, sold for $1.39m.
A dress-circle home has re-entered the upper echelon of Highton’s real estate landscape following a complete renovation.
The four-bedroom “old Highton” residence at 2 Culzean Crescent has sold for $1.39m, less than a year after the vendors had bought the original house, on a property more than double the size, for $1.25m.
The separately titled garden block facing Montpellier Drive was connected to the original property was separated through the renovation and initially listed for sale last year.

The mid-century home was renovated by Madden Constructions and sold on its own 839sq m block.
Ray White Highton director Adam Natonewski said the owners, who are local builders, were initially going to keep the home and sell the block, but changed their mind late last year.
“They’ve done a full renovation on Culzean Crescent. It’s more than just cosmetic, it’s from the ground up,” Mr Natonewski said.
“There’s been render, a roof restoration, internal walls relocated so it’s more open plan and every window has been replaced in the property.

Highton has a $890,000 median house price that 1.7 per cent higher than the same time last year, according to PropTrack data.
“It’s million-dollar mile with views over the city and down the river,” Mr Natonewski said.
“It’s a beautiful, family-friendly position for sure, just at the back of Montpellier school.
“And that’s generally the drawcard is families that are looking to buy into the area.

“And with nothing left to do, it had a massive, big yard, which they re-landscaped. They levelled it out and made it more user friendly, which is nice and secure and private as well.”
The home highlights broad chestnut timber flooring in the open-plan layout where a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and glass sliding doors separate indoor and outdoor areas.

Mr Natonewksi said the property caught the imagination of potential buyers when it went on the market just before Christmas.
But the eventual purchasers saw it before the new year, revisited and decided to pounce.
“They weren’t prepared to wait or we’ll miss out, they loved it and rightfully so.”
