Ten of the best homes for sale in Victoria right now

By Jacqui Hammerton and Mary O'Brien

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

26 Cunningham Street South Yarra

Behind this Victorian facade is a surprise package – three levels of contemporary comforts. The biggest surprise is the basement, which has lots of parking (ideal for a car collector) and a self-contained studio. Designed by Caisson, the open-plan living zone is stylish with a smart kitchen and steel-framed windows. A lift and ground-floor bedroom offer great flexibility.

341-343 Richardson Street Middle Park

Owned by actor Guy Pearce, these two Edwardian houses, joined by a glass breezeway, have star appeal. The large light-filled living-dining space charms with huge windows, skylights and sliding doors overlooking a deck, private garden and pond. There’s a well-kitted out study, media room and soundproof studio. It’s a rare leafy double home in a tightly-held area.

15 St Ninians Road Brighton

In one of the golden mile’s sweetest spots, this mansion is steps from the bayside trail. Generous inter-connecting living areas (including a four-oven kitchen and nine-seat cinema) are ideal for entertaining. Don’t miss the plush main suite with sunny balcony. The terrace, pool and gym lend a resort vibe. “It’s a well-balanced family home,” the agent says.

302/2 Gascoyne Street Canterbury

This development in well-heeled Canterbury is a quiet and convenient Baby Boomer paradise. The third-floor apartment has a study, sunset balcony and space for a tinkerer to tinker beside their Benz in the double garage. “Residents are mature age and everyone knows everyone,” the agent says. “There’s even a community barbecue for get-togethers.” The owner’s corporation fees are about $13,000 a year.

10 Westbourne Street Prahran

Practical, light-filled spaces and makeover potential add to the allure of this double-fronted Victorian residence that’s been held by one family for 40 years, yet it’s the locale that puts a triple-A stamp on it. The neighbourhood is rich with gorgeous period architecture and Hawksburn village, just 250 metres away, has grown into a prized destination for boutique shops, fresh produce, fine dining and coffee.

219 Page Street Middle Park

Picture-perfect for the home page of Page Street, this cute single-fronted Victorian cottage with a lace-trimmed verandah sits behind a picket fence and iceberg roses ready to bloom. Its wide, tree-lined street around the corner from Armstrong Street village is “renowned as one of bayside’s best”, the agent says. The story-book home-sweet-home suits buyers seeking a cosy lock-and-leave with potential.

401/6 Murphy Street South Yarra

This apartment is in the heart of a dynamic urban environment yet on its doorstep are Fawkner Park, the Royal Botanic Gardens and the Yarra River. The modern pad on the fourth floor of the 2015-built, medium-rise Six Murphy would suit professional couples and local investors, the agent says. “It’s in an aspirational position and has views from the balcony on the north-west corner,” he adds.

14 Lentell Avenue Sorrento

This glamorous beach house is a fun-filled package. Relax by the central pool or on the first-floor deck with pizza oven and bay view. The upstairs family room has huge glass sliding doors that open wide to the outdoors. There’s even space for a boat at the back. “It’s 150 metres to a secluded beach,” the agent says.

3/32 King Street Daylesford

Looking onto parkland, this three-storey lakeside townhouse is the ultimate designer retreat. Recently renovated, the house features natural materials and warm, sophisticated interiors. The family room has a gas fireplace and connects to a deck with green views. Three bedrooms also have balconies with views. “Everything has been done, just unpack your bags,” the agent says.

5 Sproule Place Woodend

Curved lines, high windows and timber accents make a statement in this builder’s own dream home. The star here is the family room with a high ceiling, large windows, fireplace and northern light. Other highlights include a sunken dining room, step-down bath and protected terrace. A study and retreat are bonuses. Walk to the train station.
