12 Roehampton Crescent, Mount Eliza

Innovative engineering powers Lumiere, a standout two-year-old architectural build in a privileged pocket between the beach and the village. “It’s continuous living from the front fence – an integration of nature, swimming in the pool, cooking and family spaces,” the agent says. A cantilevered bedroom wing over the pool, suspended fireplace, balcony water views and crafted American cherry joinery are premium features.

3607/439 Collins Street, Melbourne

A fabulous 14-metre-wide riverview terrace adds to the superior lifestyle, amenity and location of this as-new apartment. It’s on the 36th level of dual-tower Collins Arch in an exclusive section for lift access and for residents’ amenities such as pool, lounge and sky gardens. The 400-square-metre footprint includes three bedrooms with en suites, a study and the full-width terrace bestowing panoramic vistas from the bay to the MCG.

15 Perth Street, Prahran

Arches, appropriately, are the overarching theme for the masterful renovation of this double-fronted, single-level Victorian residence. The elegant shape creates continuity between the original double-arched hallway and fireplaces and a trio of black steel-framed French doors that meet the rear terrace. “It’s high-spec, designed by Odyssey Architecture,” the agent says. “It went from being the worst house in the street to the best.”

26/202 St Aidans Road, Kennington

Modern makeovers are enlivening the residential conversion of the heritage-listed former orphanage at St Aidan’s. This smart townhouse of two levels plus a mezzanine main bedroom is in part of the 1920s boiler room, with a chimney stack atop. Its new fit-out preserves internal red-brick archways, contrasting with black steel and polished concrete floors. The park-like grounds include a residents’ pool.

14 Woods Street, Newport

This replica Edwardian-style dwelling pairs the architectural charm of yesterday with modern functionality. The vendors chose Edge DCI and Faraday Homes to create the dream build, and they nominate its tundra marble surfaces as their favourite feature. The facade has fretwork, a tiled return verandah and James Hardy cement-sheet weatherboard cladding. Out the back, there’s a barbecue kitchen and fire-pit lounge.

92 Hickford Street, Brunswick East

Stripped to its Victorian bones and then resurrected as an on-trend showpiece with a classic facade, this abode is notable for its palpable quality, the agent says. “A high-end builder built it for himself so the quality is beyond what you normally see,” he says. Dual central courtyards provide indoor-outdoor living and allow natural light to flood inside. The balconied main bedroom has a retreat or study.

14 Winifred Grove, Blairgowrie

Creative types are among Mornington Peninsula house-hunters who will find cosy nooks, treed vistas and quirky flair at this retreat between Blairgowrie Pier and rugged ocean beaches. Designed by architect Esther Sugihto along with the artist-vendors, and built in 2019 on steel frames, it nestles into vegetation “like three pods, connected by decks and stairs, up the hillside”, the agent says.

24 Manorina Way, Macedon

Oakmount, designed and built by its vendors 12 years ago, is a much-loved family home on a versatile property of 3.24 hectares in a gated lakeside locale. A double-sided Cheminees Philippe fireplace in hand-crafted stonework anchors the living zone. Use the riding arena, livestock paddocks, machinery shed and tennis court for work and play, and gaze upon Mount Macedon from the window seat and broad verandah.

2221-2259 Portarlington Road, Bellarine

Swing out east from Geelong, around the sparkling curve of the Bellarine Peninsula, and you’ll find plenty of hidden treasures.

This northern section between Drysdale and Portarlington has stretches of coastline hemmed by broad green. There are brilliant blue-water views across Port Phillip Bay, and every now and then, something remarkable like 2221-2259 Portarlington Road, Bellarine, combines the two to spectacular effect.

Colliers International’s Michael Gardiner says the 62-hectare property has an incredible setting. “Views to Melbourne, back to Geelong and across to the You Yangs. It’s unique.”

The four-bedroom timber and sandstone home, which sits beautifully on the swath of green, is a stylish affair framed by manicured gardens that create a sense of sanctuary.

Inside, warm timber ceilings and internal stone feature walls attractively anchor the radiant, north-facing central living area.

There are two wings, the second housing more bedrooms and another living area, but nobody misses out on the views.

“The aspects are amazing,′ says the agent. “The main bedroom looks directly towards the city skyline.”

Outside a long deck under a broad arbour would be perfect for summertime entertaining. Wander that green right down to the water. Wonderful. The expressions-of-interest campaign carries a guide of $12 million-plus.
