What to see this weekend: The best properties on show in Melbourne

Domain‘s pick of some great properties to see on Saturday.

ESSENDON

“It’s like a brand new period home,” the agent says of 1 Daisy Street, a free-standing Victorian cottage that was stripped out and almost entirely rebuilt by a savvy husband-and-wife renovator team.

The ugly duckling is now a slick contemporary abode with surprising space and an upstairs main bedroom on a 270-square-metre block handy to train, tram and plenty of shops. Jellis Craig has the listing. 

YARRAVILLE

Close to the village is the place to be in Yarraville, and this block-fronted, timber-floored Victorian at 24 Goulburn Street is just around the corner from its well-rated cafes and restaurants, the station and the popular art deco Sun Theatre.

Being double-fronted, it has good family accommodation.

The living room and bay-windowed dining area face a north-aspect rear courtyard.

ST KILDA WEST

This Edwardian house at 200 Canterbury Road makes a beaut upsizer for local families bursting at the seams of single-fronted terraces.

It’s been smartly renovated with a showpiece granite kitchen, open-plan living area and upstairs main bedroom retreat with en suite and boasts ROW double garage.

A park is on the doorstep, the beach is three blocks away and the light rail and Albert Park Lake are nearby.

The home is listed with Marhsall White Port Phillip.

WILLIAMSTOWN

This strikingly modern house of glass, chrome and concrete has an address worth 1000 words: opposite the waterfront, with views to the city and walking distance to the shops and cafes.

48 The Strand’s three levels, shaped to its triangular site, feature a cinema, rumpus room, cellar and bar in the basement, and a top-floor open-plan living area with balconies on three sides.

HAWTHORN

The c1891 free-standing balconied terrace Florence is both stately, with grand marble fireplaces, high ceilings and a Hawthorn-brick facade, and family-friendly, with a light and airy living room extension and four upstairs bedrooms.

On an elevated corner site of 365 square metres, there’s a north-facing courtyard garden, garage off Elgin Street and the opportunity to upgrade.

49 Grove Road is listed with Kay & Burton Hawthorn.
