What to see this weekend

1.15pm-1.45pm

29a Yuile Street, Ashburton
$2.7 million-plus
5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 2 car spaces

In line with Ashburton’s rising profile, this top-end Hamptons-style home could set a record price, says the agent – and the buyer will want for nothing. Start with five bedrooms, all with en suites, and add home cinema, pool, terrace and multiple living rooms, plus Ferndale Trail parkland over the back fence. The house was designed by Porter Davis then “upspec’d” in every facet.

Auction at 2pm, on March 18

48 Docker Street, Richmond
$2 million-plus
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms

Brought back from the brink, this double-fronted period home with Richmond Hill-precinct credentials enriches the streetscape with a restored tuck-pointed brick facade; beyond that, it’s no-holds-barred “new everything” inside, the agent says. Showstopper bathrooms feature glass-tiled mosaic walls and the oak-floored living area, which is open to a marble/Ilve kitchen, extends to a private barbecue deck.

The neighbours living in this contemporary property’s adjoining residence will vouch for its scrupulous finish and the genteel green-belt location, as they are the vendors who divided the block to build the luxurious new semi-detached duo. Above the basement garage and workshop – via the lift, if you like – there are en-suited bedrooms and living rooms on two levels.

The facade of this c1890s balconied terrace captures Victorian-era romance and grandeur, and its location snares a “best-of-both-worlds” position, in a heritage-rich cul-de-sac around the corner from the eclectic entertainment of Fitzroy Street. It has large rooms and period features, a basement rumpus/gym, front and rear courtyards, and potential to value-add.
