Looking for you next home in Victoria? We’ve rounded up the best ones on the market for you.

75 Grey Street, East Melbourne

With Powlett Reserve as your unofficial front yard and a sizeable yard to the rear, there’s no sacrificing space for ultra-inner-city living. On the cusp of the CBD, this beautifully reimagined Victorian terrace has a stunning modern kitchen with Versailles parquet floors.

65-67 St Andrews Street, Brighton

A colonial-era charmer turned into a modern showpiece, Wavertree balances its graceful facade and tessellated-tile return verandah with a striking architectural extension. Finished in 2021, it’s characterised by bold angles and soaring ceilings and overlooks the expansive outdoor entertaining area, swimming pool and spa.

2 Missouri Avenue, Brighton

The Californian bungalow reaches new heights with this renovation with an eye for elegant detail. Luxe materials like travertine, marble, Japanese hand-cut mosaics and chevron parquetry oak floors create a sumptuous oasis, matched by the pavilion-style al fresco setting.

54 Park Street, Moonee Ponds

Epic in scope from its sweeping front lawn with an arresting infinity-edged water feature to the enormous rear entertaining pavilion, this three-level masterpiece has it all, including a home gym, temperature-controlled wine cellar and bar/lounge overlooking the 12-seat, four-level cinema.

2/2 Wilks Street, Caulfield North

Setting the stage for lavish living at this ground-floor pad is a showstopper kitchen flaunting titanium-gold granite benchtops with a leathered finish alongside glossy 3D splashback tiles, a bespoke pendant and timber flooring. The living area opens to a courtyard. It’s one of three for sale in the new block of four, fronted by imposing copper panelling in a secluded cul-de-sac.

107/2 Pine Avenue, Elwood

Lashings of grey aether marble teamed with brass fittings make a sophisticated Hecker Guthrie statement inside the Woods Bagot-designed Elwood House. This first-floor apartment is on a single level in the 2017 development of 29. “Buyers are most likely downsizers, and it’s 90 per cent owner-occupied,” the agent says. Village cafes, shops, wine bars, Elwood Beach and Elsternwick Park are at the doorstep.

4/17 Hakea Street, Templestowe

A few minutes’ stroll from this low-maintenance, entry-level townhouse you’ll find the riverside bushland of Westerfolds Park, cafes and restaurants at the local village, and a leisure centre. “It’s in a good spot,” the agent says of its boutique development built in 2017. The one-owner home at the rear has a basement garage, a north-aspect terrace and a courtyard a dog would appreciate.

233 Johnston Street, Abbotsford

Here’s an entry-level opportunity to hook into LoJo’s mojo – a funky shopfront with living quarters in lower Johnston Street near Bodriggy Brewing and Dr Morse. “It’s Commercial 1 zoning so you can live at the back and work at the front with a shop, hospitality, offices, studio or gallery,” the agent says. “There’s a loft, a light-filled mezzanine and a private little garden.”

67b Raynes Park Road, Hampton

“It’ll be someone’s Christmas miracle,” the agent says of this likeable bayside townhouse that’s among 2023’s final festive offerings. “Step into the kitchen and the vista across the living goes all the way to the magnolia hedge at the back. There’s even room for a pool.” Simpsons Reserve sportsgrounds are opposite and a Sunday ramble takes you to Hampton Street cafes and the beach.

3403 Point Nepean Road, Sorrento

It’s hard to believe that this serene place, part of the Sorrento Park Beach House precinct, is so close to the action: bay, baristas and bars are all broadly accessible. You needn’t venture out, though, just stay here in luxury’s three-level lap. It has glorious balconies, a shimmering pool with windows into the basement, a sauna, a cinema and sweeping Sorrento splendour.

45 Gillies Street, Alfredton

Pretty period perfection out front, pure polished panache out back. This impressive renovation and extension in the shadows of Lake Wendouree showcases the vendors’ expertise in clever material choice and application. They have combined timber, glass, steel and distinctive brickwork to create a stand-out. The year-round poolside party pit is another showstopper.

10 Helena Street, Mount Martha

It’s not often you get such warmth emanating from such a crisply contemporary home, but that’s the neat alchemy here. Rammed earth and fired timbers bring a fine, elemental texture, with the ambience expanded by abundant northern light. It features a comprehensive entertaining area – sparkling pool, undercover outdoor kitchen, decks and grassy terrace – or there’s the beach, a stroll away.
