Property values have soared since 2014 on Toorak’s east side around prestigious Hopetoun Road and this prime cul de sac, the agent says. “People underestimated how good the position was and there’s been a knock-on effect.” Built about 1990 and fully renovated and re-landscaped nine years ago, this impressive house with pool and a showpiece double-height formal room is attracting upsizing family buyers.

On a sliver of land in a mixed-use area, this one-of-a-kind, two-storey house built in 2008 has won several design awards. Its focus is on capturing natural light and creating connected spaces.
