92 Wilkins Street, Newport is located opposite a park in premium bayside Newport. A short stroll to local cafes, shops, restaurants and Newport train station, it’s all right here.

Alternatively, wander the beautiful tree-lined streets down to The Strand and the foreshore walkways and bike paths. Plus it’s a five-minute drive to Williamstown Beach.

“There’s great value in Melbourne’s inner west bayside areas. Newport, Seddon, Spotswood, Footscray and Yarraville are all great options that are within 10km of the CBD with some bargain buys that are not far from Melbourne’s ‘other’ bayside beaches Williamstown and Altona,” Ms Rayner said.

13 Chapman Street, Surry Hills is quietly positioned towards the end of a tree-lined cul-de-sac off Phelps Street. This charming terrace presents an exciting blank canvas in a highly sought-after location.

Set over two levels, this wide-fronted terrace is a renovator’s dream and is a perfect opportunity for a keen renovator or builder.

“Bring your builder and your dreams to this auction,” says Ms Rayner.

“The old adage location, location, location has never been truer, this is a renovator’s delight in an unbeatable blue-chip location.

“Step out into the village of Surry Hills with its restaurants, cafes and bars and also enjoy the benefits of Moore Park and the light rail for easy access to the CBD.”

Charming Queenslander with eco-friendly credentials

36 Blaikie Street is only 18 minutes from the CBD and a hidden refuge amongst the trees on 928 sqm. This beautiful residence is set back from the street, offering peace, privacy and whisper-quiet living in a family-friendly enclave.

“We’re seeing a trend for buyers wanting energy-efficient options,” Ms Rayner says.

“With this property’s solar panels and insulation, plus the airflow of the classic Queenslander architectural style, there’s bound to be buyers galore.”

A little bit country, a little bit city

Situated in Baldivis, just over half an hour’s drive from the Perth CBD, live the best of both worlds with a rural retreat within a stone’s throw of the city.

162 Stakehill Road, Baldivis offers “two for the price of one” with the main dwelling, a character-rich four-bedroom, two-bathroom home.

Adding to its versatility, a separate four-bedroom dwelling can serve as accommodation for extended family, or a rental, providing an extra income stream.

“With Perth’s property market heating up right now, this home presents a unique opportunity for multigenerational living not far from the city and beaches, but with the benefits of a country feel,” says Ms Rayner.

Meticulously maintained throughout, this is a spacious family home with an incredibly flexible floorplan. And it gets even better... outside you’ve got a sparkling ground pool and spa and a wonderful alfresco area to lounge in.

“Torrensville is a gem of a suburb in Adelaide, walking distance to the city, heritage homes and the incredible restaurants and cafes of Henley Beach Rd what’s not to like,” says Ms Rayner.
