A homestead-style residence in Mount Eliza

A renovated poolside entertainer in Wantirna South

A luxurious family residence on a quiet cul-de-sac in Vermont

This week we’ll hopefully help to answer that question by highlighting some properties that have recently sold close to the $2 million mark. We’ve looked at homes with a minimum of 3 bedrooms in relatively good locations that have some potential upside. Here are some examples:

Modern family home in coveted dual school zone in Doncaster East

Renovated three-bedroom home in Sandringham
