530 Tucks Road, Shoreham

This beautiful resort is peacefully situated between Red Mountain Village and the coast.

The property is set on approximately two hectares and has a small house where the children can play.

42 Elm Grove, Richmond

The agent said the brick corner house has been restored to retain its Edwardian character, while the modern two-storey extension exudes a calming atmosphere. Curves, scallops and grooves dominated the design of the two-year renovation by Sharpe Construction Group. For pleasant living, there is a plunge pool, a high-end kitchen and a tree-top balcony accessible from the three upstairs bedrooms.

2/7 Carragrove, Aspendale

The apartment’s absolute beachfront position has captured the imagination of uncompromising and passive buyers who suddenly realise it’s a must-have. The ground-floor Lowe-designed residence has a 20-metre frontage towards coastal bush and the bay, visible from the terrace, living area and master bedroom. “It’s at the end of a coastal cul-de-sac,” the agent says. “It has privacy, exclusivity and underground parking.”

147 Clarke Street, Northcote

This blond-brick beauty exudes mid-century cool, with stunning city views from its sunset deck, vintage yet with an edge. “It’s very Northcote, very charming – it’s like stepping back in time,” the agent says, describing the Ruckers Hill area as “golden.” Cherry-red Laminex kitchen countertops, a slate fireplace and original hardwood floors create character that could form the basis of a dream home renovation.

2/101 Rostrevor Parade, Mont Albert North

The agent said natural, neutral tones and materials add an earthy feel and universal appeal to the Cera Stribley-designed townhouse, which enjoys northern lights. “It’s modern, fresh, secure and private,” he said. Five of the development’s seven townhouses have already sold, confirming young families and downsizers are among the buyer groups. There are lifts to all three levels.

602/166 Flinders Street, Melbourne

“It feels like New York, or Prague,” the agent raves about the two-storey apartment, which is perched atop the elegant Art Deco-era Masonic Club building, with a prestigious Flinders Street location. “From the balcony you can see all of Melbourne’s landmarks – Flinders Street Station, the G line, Federation Square across the way and Forum Square next door.” The chic apartment has new glazing to the “highest standards of thermal and acoustic insulation”.

2/14 Normanby Street, Brighton

Stylish in concept and finish, this Jon Friedrich-designed residence is a masterclass in catering to Brighton’s affluent downsizer housing market. One of only three homes built in 2023, this one-story residence is located above a media room (or third bedroom) and an oversized garage that the agent says “can store your car.” You can luxuriate in the marble and ebony surrounds while enjoying security, sustainability and cutting-edge technology.
