You Wish: Total-package appeal in South Yarra

50 Nicholson Street, South Yarra
$2.7-$3 million

If your wish is for a pretty, low-maintenance, single-level, renovated Victorian house with an easy-care landscaped garden, you’ll be far from alone in finding it all in this little gem.

To add to the total-package appeal, it has probably the most sought-after inner-city floor plan for professional couples, upsizing young families and downsizers, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a study towards the front, off-street parking and a large open-plan family area with modern kitchen at the rear.

“It’s for the buyer who really wants to do nothing but move in and enjoy,” Marshall White agent Justin Long says, reporting “loads of inquiries” from the first hour it went online. He’ll be taking bids for it from 1.30pm on May 13.

The property also meets the “location-priority” mantra. Walk to Fawkner Park and Albert Park Lake, South Yarra Primary School, trams and train, Toorak Road eateries, Chapel Street shops and Prahran market for organic or decadent deliciousness (such as the Wicked Chocolate Festival on Sunday May 7).
