Modern elevated with dual living
This modern, dual living, elevated home has hit the market in a popular family-friendly suburb close to the beach, university, hospital and shops.
Selling agent Chris Clarke of Real Estate Central said this freshly renovated home at 25 Mirrakma Cres, Lyons, was a modern twist on tropical elevated living.
He said the property offered the best parts of an elevated home without the maintenance of an older house.
Upstairs, the home has a spacious open plan living, dining and kitchen area with high ceilings, timber floors and banks of louvres.
'Concrete slab construction gives you a solid feel underfoot but also provides peace and quiet between the levels,' Mr Clarke said.
The kitchen includes an island bench, stainless-steel appliances, neutral-coloured cabinetry and pendant lighting.
The living spaces open through sliding doors to a balcony that overlooks the back yard, while the high gable ceilings of the living areas carry through to this covered outdoor entertaining space.
The main bedroom has a walk-in robe and an ensuite with dual basins, and the room looks out over the front yard.
The three remaining upstairs bedrooms have built-in robes, while the family bathroom has a bath and a double shower.
On the ground level is a fully self-contained unit.
'Downstairs is not your typical under-house area,' Clarke said.
'(It is) self-contained, with your own bedroom and bathroom, and a spacious living and kitchen area that matches upstairs dimensions. The separate feel is perfect for extended family visits or creating an additional income.'
The downstairs kitchen has an island bench with breakfast bar, stainless-steel appliances and modern cabinetry.
The home sits on a 793sq m block with established, low maintenance gardens and plenty of lawn space.
Bamboo is planted down the side of the home, offering privacy from neighbours.
The house has a double carport, electric shutter on the front windows, a fully-fenced back yard and plenty of room for a shed or pool.
The property is within walking distance of local schools and parklands and close to the Casuarina coastline, Casuarina shopping centre, Leanyer Water Park, the hospital and CDU.

ASX 200 ‘holding up reasonably well' under current circumstances
CommSec's Tom Piotrowski claims the ASX 200 is 'holding up reasonably well' under current circumstances as the conflict between Israel and Iran continues to affect oil prices and impact the markets. 'Yesterday we all saw a modest decline, today, another one is predicted at the open,' he told Sky News Australia. 'So, our market is holding up reasonably well under the circumstances, again, reflecting that containment of the negative sentiment that has dominated so far.'

Anthony Albanese meets with senior Donald Trump aides after meeting with US President falls through
Anthony Albanese has met with senior members of the Trump administration after his crucial face-to-face meeting with the US President fell through. While the Prime Minister had secured a meeting with Donald Trump for Tuesday afternoon (AEST), the US leader left the G7 Summit early to return to Washington following escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. As a result the meeting with Mr Albanese was cancelled, prompting concern and criticism from the Coalition. However on Tuesday evening, Mr Albanese met with Mr Trump's principle economic advisory and the National Economic Council director Kevin Hasset, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Australia's US ambassador Kevin Rudd also attended the meeting, and the group discussed trade, tariffs, critical minerals and rare earths. Following the announcement that Mr Albanese's meeting with Mr Trump would not proceed, a government spokesperson said the cancellation was understandable 'given what is occurring in the Middle East'. 'As the Prime Minister said a short time ago, we are very concerned about the events in the Middle East and continue to urge all parties to prioritise dialogue and diplomacy,' they said.

Abbotsford: Iconic Skipping Girl's multimillion-dollar transformation
She's skipped above the Yarra for nearly 90 years, and now Melbourne's beloved Skipping Girl is the face of a bold new comeback. The neon-lit figure perched atop 651 Victoria St, Abbotsford has long been one of the city's most recognizable icons. Now, the building she calls home has undergone a multimillion-dollar transformation aimed at attracting modern businesses with character, charm and city-fringe appeal. Singer Property Group has overhauled the landmark office complex with a striking new lobby, ground-floor cafe space, brand-new end-of-trip facilities and upgraded office suites ranging from 108sq m to 867sq m, many featuring private terraces and Yarra River views. Buyers eyeing forgotten Melb Woolies store It's the first time in years the Skipping Girl building has been repositioned in such a comprehensive way, and Colliers Melbourne East director Matt Cosgrave said interest has already been strong. 'The Skipping Girl building is one of Melbourne's most recognisable landmarks, and that kind of instant recognition definitely sparks interest,' Mr Cosgrave said. 'There's something about its heritage character and nostalgic appeal that immediately draws people in.' A mix of event agencies, creative firms, marketing studios and professional services businesses are among the early enquirers, many of them relocating from inner-east precincts such as Hawthorn and Kew. 'It's a bit of a standout, really,' Mr Cosgrave said. 'You're not comparing apples with apples, this is a genuinely unique offering.' The revitalised building blends heritage red brick, black steel frames and high ceilings with natural light, modern finishes and open-plan layouts. Several suites open directly onto tree-lined balconies, while the ground-floor upgrades offer hospitality potential in a pocket fast becoming one of Melbourne's creative hotspots. Singer Property Group director Ari Singer said the project's design aimed to honour the building's past while preparing it for the next generation of tenants. 'From the moment you step inside, the city just fades away,' Mr Singer said. 'You're surrounded by greenery, river views and that iconic neon sign. It's unlike anywhere else.' The site is flanked by the Main Yarra Trail, Whitworth Gardens and the newly completed Walmer St pedestrian bridge, offering strong links to cycling and foot traffic from surrounding suburbs. Mr Cosgrave said many prospective tenants were looking for city-fringe office space that delivered on both amenity and atmosphere. 'In my view, the CBD isn't really competing with a building like this in Abbotsford,' he said. 'We're seeing more tenants from the inner east looking for transport access, character, parking and lifestyle — without the sterility of a high-rise.' 'Its heritage charm and iconic presence are attracting tenants who might otherwise stay put, it's pulling people in.' And for those still undecided? 'It's a premium-quality workspace in a truly iconic Melbourne setting, and it ticks every box for the modern city-fringe tenant,' Mr Cosgrave said.
