The agent says North Terrace is in Melbourne’s top-10 most tightly held streets so an auction in the wide strip facing Darling Gardens is a treat. Even rarer is such a large and lovely property: a renovated heritage house with slate roof, fireplaces and four bedrooms (plus conversion potential for more) on a landscaped 600-square-metre block with north-facing rear garden. It’s an easy walk to schools, transport and Queens Parade shops.

Living will be easy over summer at this pristine circa-2014 property with a salt-chlorinated pool, home cinema, outdoor fireplace and family areas that spell out relaxing evenings and fun-filled school holidays. The floor plan is spot-on (well zoned, with bedrooms upstairs), the inclusions lack nothing and the top-notch finishes include wide oak floorboards, Quantum Quartz kitchen benches and limestone – just what you’d expect from a contemporary owner-builder.

The director of well-established local building firm Hille’s Home Extensions is selling his impressively spacious six-bedroom house in the prestigious Mar Lodge estate. It’s strong on entertainment spaces, with a vast covered verandah between a solar-heated pool in the north-facing garden, and the slick open-plan kitchen/family zone, yet its weatherboard facade, high ceilings and oak parquetry floors give it gracious period-style character.

The Sackville ward is “a market all of its own” particularly for families drawn to its elite schools, the agent says; and in such a well-positioned, tree-lined street, behind a low-key facade, this renovated house with pool has an appealing beauty. Luxury contemporary fittings harmonise with its warm European styling seen in dark-stained timber floors, stone chimney and vine-covered pergola for alfresco dining.
