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

3 Sandara Court, Mount Eliza VIC

As far as dress circle seats go, 3 Sandara Court is about as close to the blockbuster blue-water show as you can get in pretty Mount Eliza.

“Front row to the Canadian Bay waterfront,” says Marshall White’s Bailey White. “Uninterrupted views from a house extremely generous in scale.”

There are certainly estate-style dimensions here, with the return drive flanked by green surroundings ending at a formal hedged garden with a water feature and a copse of lovely lavender.

The double-height portico entry leads into a ground floor of excellent amenity. Two bedrooms, a large living room, a kitchen-meals area and across the voluminous lobby, a study and a double garage speak to the multigenerational possibilities here. Outside, handsome decked terraces and beautifully manicured gardens track the attractive pool and spa.

Up the grand stair, level one offers separate formal rooms as well as a huge living space and main kitchen-dining area. That incredible balcony curves its way across the front, showcasing the superb water views.

There are two further bedrooms on this level, the main with a splendid en suite and access to the bay-facing terrace.

White oversees the sale of this expansive and “quite rare” beachfront offering. The guide is $5.9 million to $6.3 million.

44 Rose Street, Highett VIC

Last-minute Christmas shopping stress could be solved by snapping up this contemporary bayside residence to keep everyone in the family happy for a generation. The super-sized showpiece, wrapped in commercial-grade glazing and clean block shapes, shimmers with top-tier fittings, materials and style. The poolside al fresco area sings of summer fun, while the north-facing courtyard ensures natural light all year.

230 Beach Road, Black Rock VIC

You might think that the uninterrupted beachfront facing Half Moon Bay would be the best thing about this corner-site build. Certainly, it’s incredible, the agent says. But the “glorious masterstroke” – reached via lift from the basement garage and gym – is its sheltered rooftop terrace and infinity pool for stunning summer sunsets. Add its front verandah and first-floor return balcony and window seat, and bay-gazing becomes a year-round pastime.

138 Nicholson Street, Brunswick East VIC

It’s shiny new, but this townhouse by Wardle Design draws on past architectural styles “to tie in with the history of the area”, the agent says. Reclaimed cream bricks featuring protrusions, a wide arch over the facade’s balcony and neutral, natural tones – notably a soft sage – lend an endearing character that’s vintage, contemporary and timeless. A studio with an en suite over the separate rear garage adds versatile space.

160 South Road, Brighton East VIC 

Bayside family buyers need not choose between Californian bungalow charm and luxe-contemporary lifestyle when offered a blended beauty such as this Castlefield Estate corner property. The as-new restoration and two-storey addition come replete with mature gardens and all-season poolside al fresco zone. The agent notes opulent detail in the tiled fireplace, glass-front wine storage, over-shower skylights and outdoor wood-burning fireplace.

11 Binnak Way, Moorooduc VIC

Horse lovers will be tempted by this pretty home on eight hectares with all the equine trappings. With a large family room plus a second living room with a kitchenette, the house could suit multigenerational groups. Sweeteners include a spa, sauna and lush gardens. “It’s both a true lifestyle property and a good equestrian one,” the agent says.

5 Great Ocean Road, Jan Juc VIC

An inspired renovation by architect Michael Sheppard has reinvigorated this appealing 1986 coastal home overlooking a golf course. The living space is pitch-perfect with exposed bricks, a raked ceiling, a fireplace and a crafted kitchen with a restored rangehood. Bonuses include a pool, an all-weather terrace, and consulting rooms or Airbnb. “Park your car and walk to everything,” the agent says.

139 Flemmings Road, Franklinford VIC

Enjoy bucolic views and the passing parade of wildlife from this country retreat’s wraparound verandah. The family-friendly floorplan features a central, light-filled living zone with a wood-burning heater. The 15-hectare property includes a garage, shed, bore and peppercorn tree. “Just 15 minutes from Daylesford and Castlemaine, this offers the peace and tranquillity of a rural setting,” the agent says.
