Immaculate rolling lawns and a sandstone-step water feature introduce this contemporary house, and the pool and spa on the rear, north-facing terrace round it off. The interior has a similar balance of pizzazz and family space. The corner property, among other top-end houses in this triple-A territory, is handy to transport and a multitude of private schools.

A half-hectare allotment in the coveted Fairy Hills estate off The Boulevard, redeveloped as four posh residences of varying sizes, includes this new townhouse. In an enclave encircled by open green space, it has a small private courtyard garden to enjoy.

30 Cotter Street, Richmond
$1.75 million-plus
4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms

Ever-popular block-fronted Victorian houses have been in short supply lately, says agent Elliot Gill, especially in this southernmost tip of Richmond that has Barkly Gardens and “a bit of a South Yarra spin” that rivals prized Richmond Hill. The weekday auction of this c1890s property, with four-bedroom family accommodation and ROW for potential parking, takes the pressure off the Saturday hurly-burly.

Auction at 6.30pm, on March 16

97 Page Street, Albert Park
​About $2 million
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms

From its quintessential c1890 Hawthorn-brick facade to its first-floor en-suited main bedroom with a city-view balcony, this single-fronted terrace encapsulates the Albert Park ideal. Its renovated interior is a masterclass in texture – from exposed-brick walls and oak floors to polished concrete and black gloss cabinetry – and the location between the beach and Albert Park, near cafes, transport and schools, can’t be beaten.

$3.5 million-plus
3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 3 car spaces

Here’s how we imagine an interior designer lives, in a sumptuous no-expense-spared apartment on Melbourne’s grandest boulevard. Three dreamy en-suite bedrooms, a romantically curved balcony terrace and luxury living area showcase creative and glamorous textural style, from Italian marble and sparkling chandeliers to bespoke timber veneers. Walk through the Botanic Gardens to the city from here.

3/8 Simpson Place, Hawthorn
$1.9 million-plus
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car spaces

Neighbourhood parks dot this locale, so having a low-maintenance barbecue terrace and balcony makes this two-year-old townhouse a lock-up-and-leave proposition for downsizers and urban professionals. A lift connects the basement garage and workshop/hobby room with three levels of living and sleeping quarters and there’s a touch of class in its timber-panelled hidden storage, vast walk-in wardrobe and Miele kitchen appliances, including a coffee machine.
