10 Kenley Court Toorak
Architect Rob Mills and garden guru Paul Bangay are the design team behind this timeless classic. Entertain in the elegant formal room, the sun-lit family room or the delightful al fresco area with outdoor fireplace. Steel-framed doors and windows capture the garden and pool views. The huge Hollywood-style main bedroom flows into an en suite with a star-quality bath.
1 Beresford Street Caulfield North
A hint of Hollywood in its architectural curves and a very cool pool area make for a glamorous entry to this two-storey home. Designed in 1990 to favour the front’s north aspect, it’s been beautifully hedged for privacy. It shows original flair, yet the vendors’ updates have kept it smart and modern. “It’s very calm,” the agent says. Caulfield Park and Glenferrie Road shops are nearby.
3/89 The Strand Newport
There’s water frontage and parkland opposite this modern terrace, along with city and bay views from the balcony, and the icing on the cake is a bespoke, luxe interior. A lift makes it easy to get from the basement wine room and car parking to the upper-level living zone. A plunge pool is set into the secluded rear deck.
42 Trevelyan Street Elsternwick
Behind an immaculate 1930s brick facade, Dunkeld flicks the switch with an architectural extension done in 2011 by its then-owner-builder from bayside firm JFK Designs. Natural light and ventilation benefit from its dramatic raked ceiling. Winter comfort is met with sub-floor and fireplace heating, while the pool, well-fitted-out pool house, lawn and patio meet a family’s summertime wish list.
61 Chomley Street Prahran
We love a classic Edwardian semi-detached home whose heritage value is matched by its contemporary extension. The modernisation of this charming residence in a credentialled, tree-lined street forms a cohesive whole that can accommodate young professionals as happily as downsizers. It has a clean, neutral palette, central bathrooms, a Miele and Smeg kitchen and a neat pocket courtyard.
96 Elm Street Northcote
“Really solid real estate” is the agent’s description of this Victorian block-fronted gem, as proven by its long-term investment value to the three sisters who are the vendors. Likeable and comfortable, on a 206-square-metre block opposite Batman Park, it’s a no-brainer for a buyer upgrading from an apartment. Some work in the north-facing rear garden (with ROW) could add a lovely al fresco area and a vegie patch.
1 Lansell Crescent Camberwell
A century ago, Riversdale Golf Club’s sub-division set the tone for blue-chip real estate with rules on frontage and brick construction. This Golf Links Estate property, surrounded by heritage-listed residences on leafy avenues, is a rare non-heritage build with a northerly rear garden, giving the buyer options to renovate or create something suitably special in the pocket between Camberwell junction and Frog Hollow Reserve.
G01/40 Adams Street South Yarra
Nowhere in Melbourne is more spoiled for walkability to fine dining, arts and sporting venues, and glorious vast parklands than this precinct off St Kilda Road. In keeping with its high-quality, low-rise neighbours in a tree-lined street, this modern, two-storey apartment is in a luxury boutique block. A curved staircase connects the lower-level bedrooms and terrace with an elegant living zone.
