4 Birdwood Avenue, Mornington VIC
Looks, location and lifestyle – that’s the winning trifecta for this modern Mornington makeover.
McEwing Partners’ Dean Phillips says 4 Birdwood Avenue is the quintessential Beleura Hill location.
“It’s a tranquil street, but you can also throw a towel over your shoulder, and you’re steps from the beach,” he says.

Not only is this the “ultimate locale”, but the comprehensive remodelling here has created multiple living areas as well as an excellent first-floor retreat with a main bedroom, en suite, dedicated office and beautiful, broad balcony with bay views.
There are three bedrooms on the split-level ground floor, plus a large bathroom, a powder room and internal garage access. The tucked-away lounge area with its wedge window seat is delightful.
The simple, stylish palette of warm timber floors and crisp white walls suits the breezy coastal vibe and enhances the light that filters in and flows throughout.

Glass is plentiful across the north-facing living and dining areas, and the handsome kitchen boasts a fabulous pop-out servery window that connects with the superb al fresco space.
Out here, the decks are deep, and the pool is sparkling blue. A cabana and framing greenery complete the impressive offering.
“You couldn’t ask for anything more,” Phillips says.
Penthouse/25 Sims Street, Sandringham VIC
Watch the sun set over the bay from the terrace of this two-storey penthouse. One of four apartments by the Ruuhm group, this spacious home is within walking distance of the beach and shops. The highlight is the top-floor family room with a raked ceiling, fireplace and lift. The terrace impresses with a marble-clad barbecue.
79 Webb Street, Fitzroy VIC
Stroll to Gertrude, Smith or Brunswick streets from this innovative terrace. Behind a historic brick facade, the house is spread over three levels and a mezzanine. Highlights include a raised living-dining room, timber beams, exposed brick, and a basement family room. High ceilings, a balcony and a sunny courtyard are added attractions.
27 Eastbourne Street, Windsor VIC
The cool factor is super-high in this skilful warehouse conversion. Minutes from buzzy restaurants, the home boasts polished concrete floors, a north-facing family room and a loft-style main-bedroom suite. The courtyard, balcony and terrace provide surprise outdoor space. “The high voids and exposed brick walls are ideal for art lovers,” the agent says.
83 Faraday Street, Carlton VIC
This converted tie factory combines character, charm and comfort in a sought-after location. A sensitive and luxurious renovation has created a study, a living room, an elevated dining space, and a generous kitchen with steel-framed glass doors to a courtyard. Floorboards, fireplaces and exposed brick recall the past. “It has a certain European vibe,” the agent says.
2/124 Victoria Street, Brunswick East VIC
Good design can make a small space seem large, as shown by Back House by Tan Architecture. The highlight is the open-plan living room that borrows space from a north-facing courtyard. Expert cabinetry offers storage with visual warmth, and sustainable features are a bonus. “It’s close to all the action,” the agent says.
3 Nepean Avenue, Hampton East VIC
This quiet bayside home packs in a multitude of wish-list items. The light-filled family room benefits from windows on three sides and a sleek mirror-backed kitchen. A north-facing courtyard is perfect for summer get-togethers. Interest is added by vaulted ceilings, skylights and pivoting louvres. “It’s a family-friendly, no-through street,” the agent says.
3/60 Sutherland Road, Armadale VIC
The iconic design by architect Graeme Gunn sets this house apart. With courtyard gardens on either side, the living spaces are flooded with light. The main bedroom has a balcony, and the kitchen has been renovated. It’s close to trains, trams and High Street shops. “It’s a highly sought-after pocket,” the agent says.
