Our 10 favourite homes for sale in Victoria right now
By Mary O'Brien and Larissa Dubecki
Looking for your next home in Victoria? We’ve got you covered.
55 Nimmo Street, Middle Park
So, you’re in the market for a coveted Middle Park address? Try finding Nimmo.
Perfectly positioned near the Armstrong Street shops and the beach, it’s a strip resplendent with period beauties like the graceful double-fronted Victorian house at number 55.
It’s a surprise package. Step across the tessellated-tile verandah into a light-filled renovation ahead of its time. Walls of glass frame cleverly positioned internal courtyards, while an elevated sunroom sparks reveries of curling up with a book amid the living tableau of tropical green.
An enormous pivoting glass door makes its own statement, opening dramatically onto a rear terrace and yard where a glass of riesling awaits – and maybe, one day, something more.
“The land component is rare for Middle Park,” says Marshall White’s Nicholas Hoo. “It’s on 469 square metres and the depth in the block allows a pool and double-car garage in the future.”
Expressions of interest close on March 18 at 5pm. The guide is $5 million to $5.5 million.

Bold brickwork and strong curves anchor this spacious family house close to the Yarra River.

Designed by Basset Lobaza and Austin Design, the living spaces include a tiled feature wall with a fireplace, an on-trend kitchen and a study. It’s a home that feels like it belongs on the Mornington Peninsula. “When you step out of the front gate, you can see water,” the agent says.
6A Central Park Road, Malvern East
This cute 1927 Californian bungalow has been sensitively updated for easy family living.

It’s in the Gascoigne Estate, ideal for school-goers.
7-8 Mallaig Rise, Berwick
Forget that European holiday – relax at home in this Tuscan-inspired estate with the lot.

If you ever tire of the panorama, it’s steps from Brunswick Street.
3/49 Broadway, Elwood
Elwood’s art deco gems never lose their dreamy appeal. This renovated ground-floor apartment’s heritage features – leadlight windows, fireplaces and decorative ceilings – are still intact. The north-facing lounge flows into the dining space and updated kitchen. A shared rooftop terrace and secure gate add to the attractions.
93 Shields Street, Flemington VIC
A blissful backyard and smart renovation are the star qualities here.

Is it a treehouse, a bird-watching hideout or a modern castle? This striking award-winning tower house captures 360-degree views of Wilson’s Promontory and the rest of the coastline.
