With no lawnmower required at the 550sq\u2009m property, it offers the ultimate lock and leave lifestyle.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was looking in old Highton, near the river, but couldn\u2019t get a newer, quality home,\u201d Mr Powe said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe didn\u2019t know much about Wandana Heights so he spent a fair bit of time looking at other properties and trying to suss out the area, but he loves the walking tracks there and obviously it\u2019s reasonably close to Barwon Valley so it just felt right for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
The house sold near the top of its $1.08m to $1.18m asking range.<\/p>\n
It was built by Signature Homes and features living rooms to both levels, each offering a gas log fireplace and access to an outdoor entertainment area.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The living room has raked ceilings and timber flooring.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The kitchen includes a butler\u2019s pantry and glass splashback.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The ensuite has his and hers vanities.<\/p>\n
The main open-plan zone features a raked ceiling, electric blinds and a modern, all-electric kitchen.<\/p>\n
Mr Powe said the house was beautifully finished and presented, but had steep stairs that weren\u2019t for everyone.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t going to suit probably older people and the backyard was quite small, so maybe not ideal for families, so it was always going to be a particular buyer,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Wandana Heights bounced back strongly in 2025, ending the year as a million-dollar suburb.<\/p>\n
PropTrack data shows median house price jumped 13.2 per cent to $1.052m in the 12 months to December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The quality of 13 Lapin Grove, Wandana Heights, impressed buyers.
