Thirteen of the best properties for sale in Victoria

By Jacqui Hammerton

Looking for your next home in Victoria? We’ve got you covered.

33 Nott Street, Malvern East

The bar is raised for contemporary family living in the Gascoigne Estate, says the interior designer who renewed and enlarged this c1929 Arnaud Wright original near Central Park. The selling agent notes high-end finishes across well-proportioned rooms and poolside elegance. “The pure simplicity and functionality are sublime, but it’s a home, not a museum piece,” he says.

1 Thule Court, Brighton

Tundra grey and Carrara marble, oak herringbone floors, Miele kitchen appliances and sophisticated tech inclusions bring bang-on Brighton indulgence to this new townhouse that neatly packages up five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Buyers – likely upgrading families and cashed-up downsizers – will appreciate easy-living interiors that merge with a north-facing terrace and plunge pool, the agent says.

61 Williams Road, Mount Eliza

“This is essentially a new build, completed in 2018,” the agent says. “Modern, with water and city views, close to the beach — genuinely rare on this scale.” The generous golden-mile estate is two doors from Canadian Bay beach. Its upper-level indoor-outdoor living zone has a splendid panorama; below, resort-style grounds incorporate a terrace, an infinity pool and manicured gardens.

47A Clifton Street, Aberfeldie

Luxury detail layered over concrete construction forms this three-level free-standing house. From its elevated site near the Maribyrnong River, the bush reserve makes for a leafy outlook. “Each level has bedrooms and living areas so it’s flexible,” the agent says. Entertainment spaces are laid on with a solar and gas-heated pool, barbecue terrace, home cinema, gym and wine room.

104/437 Camberwell Road, Camberwell

Those who flee Melbourne winters, grab sea-change weekends or travel for work will see this compact lock-and-leave city base as smart and practical. The two-bedder, with a balcony and secure parking, is in a block of 11 apartments in walking distance from Camberwell junction. “Some people just love a brand-new home that’s up-to-the-minute,” the agent says.

12A Dean Avenue, St Kilda East

This one-owner townhouse is a crowd-pleaser, the agent says. “It suits any demographic from downsizers to young professionals; and for families, each bedroom has a bathroom,” she says. “There’s lots of space, it’s well zoned and a great entertainer with a north-facing courtyard.” A lift, double garage, tree-lined street and proximity to shops and transport add to the allure.

29A Frederick Street, Yarraville

The character and presentation of Avoca will appeal to upsizing buyers seeking a turnkey property, its selling agent says. “There’s always good demand by selective buyers for homes near the village,” he adds. Extensive renovation works by the vendors, done over time, encompass the kitchen, bathrooms, paintwork and landscaping. A jacaranda tree shades the north-orientated deck in summer.

73 Ireland Street, West Melbourne

Easy city living is in the can at this new townhouse within the big redevelopment of J. Gadsden’s wartime canning factory. “This area is a bit of a hidden spot [for homes] but has lots of local amenities,” the agent says. The street-front property with a brick facade has lift access from the basement parking, to the living zone and courtyard, and the bedrooms above.

813/1 Queensbridge Square, Southbank

This refurbished riverside apartment at Freshwater Place has the prettiest view of our fine city. Day or night, the northerly aspect to skyscrapers, landmarks, the Yarra and riverfront activity is entrancing from balconies fronting its eighth-level living space and ninth-level bedrooms. Residents’ amenities include a cinema, pool and rooftop garden.

26 Bass Vista Boulevard, Cape Schanck

This as-new single-level home taps into the relaxed sophistication of Mornington Peninsula’s semi-rural lifestyle. It sits in native landscaping across 1281 square metres and features clean, contemporary lines, vertical timber cladding and lovely indoor-outdoor living. “The vendor has an eye for style,” the agent says, adding that proximity to the golf course would delight “a mad golfer”.

109 Captains Gully Sandon Road, Sandon

This lifestyle property or weekender offers peace and seclusion in a district of farmlets and box-ironbark forests, halfway between Ballarat and Bendigo in central Victoria. The owners of the rabbit-proof-fenced 28 hectares have extended the farmhouse and fixed up the outbuildings, lake and landscaping. You could run a few specialty sheep or alpacas here, the agent says.

94A Wood Street, Flinders

“I call it the classic, timeless Flinders look,” the agent says of this fine 12-year-old house a stroll from the village. “It’s hard to find a home on one level with water views, and this is thoughtfully designed.” A U-shaped footprint wraps the al fresco area and romantic arbour; beyond this lies a pool and veggie beds on 1814 square metres.

5-7 Peters Street, Cannons Creek

Modern farmhouse styling brings warmth and character to this home on a large property adjoining the Western Port Bay wetlands that attract birdlife and yachties. “It’s a hidden gem with a friendly community,” the agent says. “The 1970s house was run down, so the owners stripped it back and put their own spin on it with a high-end renovation.”
