What to see this weekend in Melbourne

51 Hornby Street, Prahran
$2.8 million-plus
4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 cars spaces
10am-10.30am

A triple-width block on 533 square metres gives this handsome red-brick period house the luxury of a bonus outdoor zone. A vast living/dining/kitchen extension, almost to the back fence, opens to its pergola-covered entertainment area with barbecue kitchen and pizza oven, a heated above-ground pool, and double carport with more off-street parking in front. The one-way street of predominantly period homes – this one has a heritage-listed facade – is a block from Chapel Street eateries.

Auction at 11.30am, on February 20
Marshall White, James McCormack 0410 503 389

16 St Andrews Court, Black Rock
$1.59-$1.69 million
4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 car spaces
1.30pm-2pm

Golf-course views and access can be equal to being beachside, the agent says, so this property’s back gate to the 14th fairway of Royal Melbourne Golf Course may be above par for some. Even then, it’s a mere 10-minute walk to Half Moon Beach. The cul de sac property boasts pool and spa, bespoke kitchen, two en-suited bedrooms sharing a wide rear balcony and outdoor kitchen.

Auction at 1.30pm, on February 27
Buxton, Scott Hamilton 0414 705 486

43 Finsbury Street, Flemington
$1.09-$1.19 million
3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 car space
10.45am-11.15am

In a wide street blessed with angle parking and a period streetscape, in a favoured pocket of “old Flemington”, this circa 1895 terrace is in a row of six matching hawthorn-brick cottages with parapets above their verandahs. The name Yeomans Terrace indicates modest origins, but this little gem gains kudos for its authentic features, an upper-floor third bedroom addition, contemporary family room and a courtyard with off-street parking.

Auction 11.30am, February 20
Nelson Alexander, David Mogford 0409 362 822

3/69 Denbigh Road, Armadale
$1.4 million-plus
2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car spaces
1pm-1.30pm

Anyone seeking intelligent design, security, open-plan living and a sense of history might find their prayers answered in this elegant former Presbyterian church. Built in 1902 and converted into four apartments (with four more in the hall and communal basement parking), it won a City of Stonnington heritage design award in 2002. This rear apartment features timber-panelled cathedral ceilings, a spiral staircase to a gallery and open study, and two courtyards.

Auction at 11am, on March 5
Kay & Burton, Gary Ormrod 0419 588 331

3 Narong Road, Caulfield North
$1.2-$1.3million
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 car space
1pm-1.45pm Saturday and Sunday

Busy open-for-inspections shows everyone loves a well-located, nicely renovated Victorian. This single-level cottage is near Caulfield Park, transport and Malvern Central, and delivers “much more bang for your buck” than if it were just over Dandenong Road in Armadale, the agent says.

Auction 1pm, February 21
