Luxe renovation elevates palatial Highton home with six-car garage

9-11 Mosman Way, Highton, is on the market for $1.65m to $1.725m.

Sweeping views across the Barwon River to the You Yangs never get old at this grand family home in Highton.

Four years after moving into 9-11 Mosman Way, the vendors still love nothing more than sliding open the doors in their dining room to appreciate the ever-changing vista.

“On a nice day that is exceptional because you sit up there and look straight out the You Yangs. That is probably the pinnacle,” he says.

The You Yangs are in view from the front balcony.

With enough space for a grand piano, the main living area can comfortably host a crowd.

“That is where we have probably spent the most time, admiring the view, and there’s always something to see.”

A great indoor-outdoor flow and abundance of northern light were key attractions when the family purchased the six-bedroom house.

But it was the scale of the modern 50-square design, incorporating the rare luxury of a six-car garage and separate workshop, that ultimately won it over.

There was so much space in the garage that they ended up taking advantage of its 3m high ceilings to convert a section into an indoor basketball area for their children.

The family has also transformed almost every other corner of the two-storey house, changing the external colour scheme, carpets, renovating several bathrooms and the kitchen, as well as installing an outdoor fireplace.

A bi-fold servery window frames the view from the renovated kitchen.

The house has multiple outdoor entertainment areas, including this one with a built-in kitchen.

The gas fire in the second lounge is one of the vendor’s favourite features.

The original build was packed with premium features, including imported Italian double glazed windows and doors fitting with internal remote-controlled blinds, and the more recent works continue the high-end theme.

Ilve appliances, an integrated fridge/freezer, stone benchtops, a butler’s pantry with a second oven and dishwasher and Billi tap are among features of the updated kitchen.

It presides over an open-plan dining and living area with a bar and direct access to a large. covered wraparound balcony fitted out with a sheltered built-in barbecue.

A second separate lounge, where the vendors often enjoy hot chocolates and cookies by the cosy gas log fire, is the gateway to another outdoor entertainment zone and landscaped, flat back garden.

The family bathroom has a floating timber vanity and freestanding bath.

The vendors enlarged the palatial main bedroom suite.

“It’s exceptional for entertaining,” the vendor says. “Certainly we have had a lot of fun out there and you have different zones that you can entertain with, weather dependent.

“We’re both from quite big families and it’s nice to be able to separate from the kids. We have got the back yard or they can be downstairs in the garage.”

The expanded main bedroom suite now includes a large walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with his and her vanities.

There’s another four minor bedrooms and two bathrooms on the main level, while downstairs a flexible studio-style space with its own bathroom could serve as accommodation for guests or teen or as a home office.
