$1.5-$1.65 million

This generous two-level apartment is within the residential development of part of c1886 Holy Trinity Anglican Church, in the hub of Bay Street shops and a short walk from the beach.

74 Aberdeen Road, Prahran
$1.2-$1.3 million

The crisp white paintwork and pale timbers of a just-completed Scandi-style renovation enliven this Victorian-era worker’s cottage in a cul-de-sac in Prahran’s most popular pocket. The design and inclusions are both clever and high-end, showing understated sophistication. A timber deck extends the living area to a courtyard with seating, while a light well aids the flow of natural light and ventilation.

The cachet enjoyed by this quiet street between Sydney Road and Lygon Street extends to the double-fronted Victorian midway along it, where pretty period features – stained-glass sidelights, iron-lace verandah, fireplaces – are married to an upmarket and on-trend renovation by Fog Studio. The main bedroom with en suite, and the open-plan kitchen/dining area open to a west-facing deck, lawn and car parking accessed from Grylls Street.

$2,109,000-$2,319,000 
4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 car space

This double-brick balconied c1880s Victorian terrace has Punt Road’s prime position, a mere punt from play at Fawkner Park’s 40 hectares of open space and magnificent 19th century trees. Across two living areas and four first-floor bedrooms, comfortable contemporary luxury matches elegant original character. Chandeliers, granite, pressed metal and oak feature, and the practicality of rear parking and an attic are noteworthy inner-city assets.
