Our seven favourite homes for sale in Melbourne right now

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

24a Birdrock Avenue, Mount Martha

According to Danckert Real Estate’s Jasmin Scott, this is one of Mount Martha’s best beachside pockets. While the near blue might beckon, you could equally imagine spending your days at stunning 24a Birdrock Avenue.

“This really feels like something out of the box,” says the agent. “Unique, really tastefully done. It’s just a beautiful home.”

There’s a touch of Palm Springs-like glam here, too. The soft palette is both beachy and elegant, and a long corridor between the bedroom zone and the rear living spaces draws northern light, making the handsome honed blockwork glow.

There are plenty of eye-catching features here. A special shout-out to the way the design takes its arcs and curves all the way through – the bend of the entry hallway repeated in the beautiful barrel-bottom timber of the kitchen bench and out to the natty circular plunge pool in the gorgeous minimalist gardens.

Apart from an impressive, luminous fit-out, the floor plan is cleverly flexible, too. A second living room with nearby bathroom access could easily become the home’s fourth bedroom.

You could stroll to the beach. It’s lovely down there, but there’s no place like home.

5 Marcia Close, Mount Martha

Resort-style real estate is taken seriously at this family home in Mount Martha’s North Beach locale. The living zone faces a broad entertainers’ deck, spa, solar-heated pool and floodlit north-south synthetic-grass tennis court. The weatherboard home, built in 2003 on a 1482-square-metre block, channels Hamptons style with its timber floors, white kitchen and striking pair of craftsman-built stone fireplaces.

7 Otter Street, Collingwood

Quirky spaces and hipster vibes inhabit the old walls of this SoJo terrace house that almost fills its small site. A first-floor sundeck is flanked by two bedrooms, each with its own staircase to ground level. The living room’s glass slider draws in western natural light. A few doors down, a new terraced park marks the cul-de-sac’s intersection with lively Smith Street.

15 Hull Street, Richmond

Reclaimed bricks make a statement inside and out at this one-owner townhouse built in 2019 on a prominent street corner. The former warehouse’s red bricks, wearing faded street-art paint, hark back to the neighbourhood’s past and add character to the otherwise modern residence, builder Brad Merlo says. Industrial-chic style dresses the first-floor living zone. The top-floor main-bedroom retreat has a balcony.

105 Stoneleigh Crescent, Highton

Fronting Barwon River parkland is a fabulous position for this luxurious modern-coastal residence. “It has a lot of ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ moments throughout the house,” the agent says. The pool is embedded into a living zone that also features an exposed-truss cathedral ceiling. Fluted timber panelling, WFH client space and elevated decks show “no stone unturned” in the builder’s pursuit of quality, he says.

21 Blyth Street, Brunswick

At this notable property – an 1880s double-storey build with a 1920s Spanish mission twist – a modern architect-designed renovation and extension create sumptuous next-level living. Elegant landscaping of breeze blocks, a covered walkway, and a poolside cabana adds a Mykonos and Palm Springs ambience. “It’s the best home in Brunswick,” the agent says, noting its high-tech inclusions, warm neutrals, palatial main-bedroom suite and home office.

3A Tuxen Court, Brighton East

Beautiful timbers in external cladding, blackbutt floorboards, stair risers, rear deck and Victorian ash joinery spread warmth throughout this stylish one-owner townhouse in a friendly enclave near Dendy Park. “It’s a quiet cul-de-sac where the kids play together, and the builder still lives next door,” the agent says. The home has a study, glass-front wine storage and a pocket back garden.
