Five of the best homes in Melbourne with more than four bedrooms

While the typical Australian home has approximately three-to-four bedrooms, larger families, intergenerational families, or those who want to host guests or have space for hobbies can benefit from extra bedrooms. Beyond functionality, properties with more bedrooms can command a higher market price and broaden the buyer pool when you sell.

Whatever your reason, there are plenty of options on the market: here are five of the best homes in Melbourne with more than four bedrooms.

12 South Terrace, Clifton Hill VIC

With a marble gas fireplace, veranda access, a fitted timber walk-in robe, and a luxurious dual-vanity ensuite featuring a private steam sauna, a double shower, an automatic toilet, and a heated towel rail, this Clifton Hill home has a main bedroom suite you may never want to leave.

The single-level home features two additional bedrooms with built-in robes, plus two other potential bedrooms that can also be used as a library or study, depending on your needs.

The period details of the home are also impressive; the circa 1986 Victorian heritage is showcased through high ceilings, an ornate stained-glass entry and an extra-wide arched hallway.

18 Kerferd Street, Malvern East VIC

This Gascoigne Edwardian has five bedrooms across its two levels.

The guest bedroom and master suite are on the ground level, with the latter including a walk-in robe and an ensuite.

The three bedrooms upstairs all include built-in robes, with two also featuring window seats. With a retreat and bathroom servicing the level, this makes an ideal self-contained children’s/teen or guest retreat.

Outdoors, the property features an in-ground trampoline, a nine-metre heated pool, bore water, irrigation, a gas barbecue, and a pergola.

Another highlight is the lower-ground-level rumble room with its own kitchenette, bathroom and storage.
