What to see this weekend

122 Blackwood Street, Yarraville
$1.3 million-plus
4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car spaces
11am-11.30am

One of the prettiest Victorians in Yarraville, the agent says, is even more appealing with the addition of a pool, landscaping and recent internal upgrade. The solid floor plan places four bedrooms off the central hall at the front and a big open-plan family room at the back, incorporating the kitchen and finishing with a full-width deck. The property, in the Village precinct, fits two or three cars in the driveway.

Auction at 1.30pm, on July 23 
Jas Stephens, Mark Hutcheson 0448 820 445 

1a Cloverdale Avenue, Toorak
$3 million-plus
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car spaces
Noon-12.30pm

This one-owner, circa 1996 lock-up-and-leave pad is in “a ripping spot”, the agent says – at the top end of a genteel street near Como Park and the Yarra, and an agreeable walk along tree-lined streets to Toorak Village brunch zone. Undoubtedly of strong interest to local downsizers, it has an open-plan living room opening to a walled courtyard garden on the north side.

Auction at noon, on July 30
RT Edgar, Anthony Grimwade 0418 382 226 

692 High Street, Prahran
$1.4 million-plus
3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 2 car spaces
10am-10.30am

The agent admits he’s charmed by the unusual off-centre brick facade of this semi-detached Edwardian with a renovated interior and easy rear parking. The fact that it’s on a main road, with no heritage overlay and with a commercial neighbour could go one of two ways: for development, or as an affordable house either for couples upscaling from an apartment or downsizers who want to stay in the area.

Auction at 10.30am, on July 23
Marshall White, Justin Krongold 0403 163 355

27 Falmouth Street, Hawthorn
$1.8 million-plus
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car spaces
Noon-12.30pm

There just aren’t enough renovated, double-fronted, free-standing properties in Hawthorn to go around. This one, with two off-street parking spaces, drew about 50 inquiries the day it went online. Young families like the sub-$2 million price estimate and downsizers like the single-level living on a manageable 390 square metres. The early California  bungalow, circa 1910, is well maintained and close to Central Gardens, train, tram and buzzy Glenferrie Road.

Auction at 1pm, on July 30
Noel Jones, Susan Bishop 0418 599 354 

20 Lincoln Street, Richmond
$950,000-plus
4 bedrooms,  3 bathrooms, 2 car spaces
Noon-12.30pm

The surrounds are an eclectic mix of residential and commercial use but this 2011-built property in a townhouse development, offering three levels of living space and a tandem garage, makes a good apartment alternative in a handy inner-city spot.

Auction at 11am, on July 30
