A cleverly placed side deck does wonders to draw in natural light and create a sense of space at the back of this cute block-fronted Victorian. The private al fresco deck, featuring a colourful vertical garden, is wrapped by rooms on three sides – a dining room with study nook, a galley kitchen and a living room extension across the rear boundary of its petite block in a heritage-protected cul de sac.

This one’s a “keeper”; a forever family home in a forever-lovely neighbourhood. Heritage controls on its Victorian streetscape mean Hawthorn’s Urquhart Estate will always be tightly held and highly prized. The agent says interested families are admiring the tuck-pointed polychromatic-brick facade and interior period features; the single-level 4-5 bedroom floor plan; the formal and casual living rooms, rumpus and attic; and the solar-heated pool in a landscaped garden.

Tregarron Avenue, deep in elite-school territory near the Cotham-Burke Road intersection, is a neighbourly cul de sac of select houses on large blocks. This double-storey brick house on 1300 square metres, dating back to 1937, has impressed the agent with its beautiful proportions, grand formal rooms, Martinique-shaped pool, covered al fresco deck beside the kitchen-meals area, and its views to the north-east from a stately front balcony.
