It’s all sweetness and ambient light at this circa-2012 house in which the owner, an electrician, added his two bobs’ worth. “It has a beautiful resort effect and a high level of finish,” the agent says.

18 Avoca Street, South Yarra
$4-$4.4 million 
4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
10am-10.30am

A recent renovation has restored more than the grandeur and sophistication that this beautiful balconied Victorian terrace house flaunted in its 1880s heyday. It’s been re-wired, re-plumbed and re-roofed and has new dark timber floors and modern kitchen, bathrooms and family room. “It’s in a prestigious street, one of South Yarra’s best,” the agent says. Formal rooms are vast and sumptuous, and the main bedroom has an en suite.

23 York Street, Hawthorn
About $1.9 million
4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 car space
Noon-12.30pm

There’s a relaxed rustic appeal to this Edwardian weatherboard with new Smeg kitchen, bathrooms, polished Baltic pine floors and exposed beams painted white. It has a wrap-around deck and the upstairs main bedroom has a balcony. “It’s a lovely cottagey family home rather than a big open-plan box,” the agent says, adding that up to $2 million is entry-point buying for a double-fronted house with a car space in Hawthorn’s top schools precinct.
