A wider-than-usual block for a single-fronted Edwardian gives this 2009-renovated house valuable breathing space, windows on each side and room for private outdoor entertaining alongside a rear-access car space. The main bedroom upstairs has an adjoining study. “It’s a gorgeous family home with an element of love and warmth,” the agent says. It’s in the Albert Park College zone, a walk to the primary school, beach and light rail.

A triangular site has resulted in a clever floor plan for this contemporary house by Cramer Design. It has a wide, bold facade with cedar panels, then angles sharply across the south-west rear, providing dramatic shapes for the downstairs kitchen and living room, and the upstairs study nook beside the rumpus room. It features Carrara marble, striking pendants and a suspended wood heater on the deck.
