$1.725 million
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car spaces
Noon-12.30pm

There’s luxury throughout this 2009-built apartment opposite Treasury Gardens but all eyes are drawn past its Miele kitchen, bespoke joinery and high-end fixtures to what lies beyond the floor-to-ceiling double-glazing. The panorama from the ninth floor of the One East Melbourne building sweeps over the MCG, the Yarra, the Arts Centre and the city. Bonuses include an on-site pool, gym, cafe and basement parking.

“People buying these homes here like them modern and well cared for,” says the agent, which partly explains strong interest in this six-year-old build by premium bayside builder Pali Homes. Other reasons include its position between Bay Street and the Church Street shops, an easy walk from primary and private schools and the train, plus the inclusion of two en-suited bedrooms (one upstairs with balcony, one downstairs) and a pool on the corner property’s north side.

House hunters upgrading from apartments and small terraces have swamped open-for-inspections at this appealing semi-detached property, drawn by its pleasant location and smart single-storey extension. The front of the 1930s brick house has three bedrooms and a study area, with a cute reading nook, a balcony and a light well/deck off the en suite. The open-plan living room with polished concrete floor flows to a deck and synthetic grass, creating a bona fide family home.

Yarraville’s riding a popularity wave as a groovy, cosmopolitan alternative to Brunswick, says the agent, and the funky renovation on this single-fronted Edwardian is hot property for young professionals. Fire-engine red kitchen joinery, exposed beams and a two-tone-green tiled bathroom add drama to its mix of contemporary style and period features. Solar panels and a water feature with 12 resident goldfish are included.
