Close to Brighton Baths, the star attraction of this house is its inspiring waterfront view. Enjoy it from the glamorous living zone, the north-facing balcony or the rooftop with spa.

Expect all the bells and whistles, including designer finishes, a study, lift, cinema and wine fridge. "A property of this quality, with views like this, is rare," the agent says.

Dial up the Zen factor in this spacious bayside haven. You can choose from four living spaces including a yoga studio. The kitchen (with fluted joinery), dining space and lounge overlook a sunny pool, patio and date palm tree. It's just steps from a primary school.

"It's designed to meet the needs of modern family life," the agent says.

This delightfully designed Neometro house comes with a slice of land that could be developed (STCA).

The single-level home is flooded with light thanks to a series of courtyards. The front lounge, formal dining room and family room all open to a central terrace. The main bedroom's en suite has a dreamy shower. "It offers endless possibilities," the agent says.

A short stroll to Studley Park, this Federation gem celebrates its heritage grandeur. The formal sitting room, dining room and study feature timber ceilings, antique lights, fretwork and marble fireplaces.

A contemporary, light-filled family room with marble-clad kitchen links to a pretty terrace, pool and landscaped gardens. There are two bedrooms downstairs and three upstairs. It's close to schools.

Enjoy the city's evening light show from this 35th-level apartment in the Yarra's Edge precinct while luxuriating in its recent renovation. A balcony spans the north-east frontage across the living zone to bedrooms at each end. Inside, marble and timber mingle with Miele and Liebherr.

The Mirvac Tower 5 Skyhome has extra cachet for its "supersized floor plan and orientation", the agent says.

37 Cairnes Crescent, Malvern East

Lovely features of the 1930s are preserved in this English-style clinker-brick home: decorative plasterwork, a brick fireplace, and timber floors, door frames, sash windows and sills.

Its quintessential Malvern East character will suit a family putting down roots near good local schools, parks, cafes and public transport, on generous land made affordable by its proximity to the freeway.

Victorian-era balcony terrace grandeur is revived in this turn-of-the-21st-century reproduction that sits opposite a delightful cul-de-sac community park and playground. Hawthorn brickwork, rich timber floors, built-in joinery and a herringbone-brick terrace make the house a home.

"The family has been happy here for a long time," the agent says. "We’ve been overwhelmed with strong interest from upgrading families due to the school zoning."

Contemporary inner-city living comes with parking underneath and a rooftop spa and barbecue kitchen at this Elenberg Fraser-designed townhouse near the beach, Station Pier and Bay Street shops.

Behind architectural street-front screening, the sophisticated interior features chevron oak floors, a Miele-and-marble kitchen, and 3.4-metre-high ceilings. The development has a pool, a gym, a theatre, business suites and a concierge service for residents.

The buyer of this 1320-square-metre property – with a handsome clinker-brick residence and a self-contained studio – will discover joys through the seasons in its landscaped gardens, which include secluded decks, lawn, paving for kids to ride bikes and a decadent daybed under grapevines.

"It's a cracking house, single level, on a big block, in a prime location," the agent says. The long-term owner gradually renovated the entire home.

Take a north-facing courtyard, a main-bedroom balcony and a splash of buttercup-yellow tiles, and you have affordable home-buyer happiness for a couple or single, perhaps upgrading from apartment life.

"It's in a row of townhouses down the back of the development, so it is away from the main road," the agent says. Shop and dine in Carlisle Street, Elwood village and Acland Street.
