Properties to see this weekend in Melbourne

32 Wentworth Avenue, Canterbury
$3 million-plus
4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car spaces
11.45am-12.15pm

Land-value, non-heritage properties in classy Canterbury have been fetching $3500 to $4500 per square metre since October, according to the agent, which bodes well for the auction of this generous 850-square-metre site opposite Canterbury Secondary College. Development potential aside, behind the dignified circa 1878 Victorian facade of Elsham is a comfortable home with pool, Miele kitchen and first-floor teen retreat.

63 Morang Road, Hawthorn
$2 million-plus
4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 car spaces
Noon-12.30pm

Its striking architectural facade with a nod to brutalism makes a big statement but inside this 1990s build is a light-filled family home designed to work with its sloping block opposite Morang Reserve. There are two bedrooms and a study on the ground and second levels. The middle-level living space has at its centre an eye-catching kitchen with crimson accents. Past the rear deck, at the top of the block, is a multipurpose studio.

21-25 Manningham Street, Parkville
​About $4 million
3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 3 car spaces
12.30pm-1pm

A renovated period house with pool on 935 square metres of land is unheard of in Parkville, so circa 1903 Bonnie Doon is attracting keen top-end interest. Its period features are beautifully restored and multiple living areas luxuriously appointed. “There’s not a cent to spend,” says the agent, noting its pizza oven, poolside dressing room, outdoor shower, underground water tanks, landscaped gardens and under-house parking. Royal Park is at the end of the road.

Expressions of interest close at 3pm, on May 2

​About $2.25 million
4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
1.45pm-2.15pm

This corner property enjoys a premium pocket of residential sanctuary bounded by the city, the bay and Albert Park Lake, and with transport, the market and St Vincent Gardens on its doorstep. Its accommodation and renovation are also top-notch. The main bedroom and study are upstairs and the light-filled family/meals area flows to a private courtyard that captures north-westerly sun. “It’s a top spot and appealing to many types of buyer,” the agent says.

3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 car space
Noon-12.30pm

This former corner shop, ready for a facelift or more, is at the end of a row of circa 1901 balconied houses collectively called Richardson Terrace.
