1930s Garden Townhouse Steps to the Yarra River

Steps from the Yarra River, this three bedroom townhouse with attached studio combines 1930s architectural character with private garden surroundings in South Yarra. Entry is via stairs down into a courtyard enclosed by stone walls and greenery, creating immediate separation from the street above. Inside, ceilings rise to approximately three meters in the main living area, and polished floorboards reflect natural light filtering through linen curtains. The river trail sits roughly 100 meters away, shaping the first impressions of the neighborhood and setting a walkable tone from the outset.

The ground floor connects lounge, dining room, and kitchen through a central hall. The living area opens to a deck through a large sliding door, allowing the interior to extend into outdoor space. A substantial wooden dining table comfortably seats eight and also functions as a workspace, supported by WiFi and a dedicated work area. The kitchen is fully equipped with SMEG appliances and generous bench space, supporting longer stays and everyday cooking.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom features a king bed and built in storage. A second bedroom with a queen bed sits nearby, along with a full bathroom and separate toilet. The attached studio, accessed via a separate entrance near the kitchen, includes a queen bed and its own bathroom, offering privacy for visiting family or friends.

Outdoor areas include the courtyard, deck, backyard, and barbecue, with driveway parking for two cars. Access to the home involves stairs down to the courtyard and stairs up to the first floor bedrooms, which may not suit guests with mobility restrictions.

Days often begin with a riverside walk, followed by coffee at a nearby bakery or browsing Prahran Market. Trams, buses, and South Yarra Train Station, approximately 1.5 kilometers away, provide direct access to Melbourne’s CBD, roughly 4 kilometers from the home.

For members seeking heritage detail, garden privacy, and proximity to both river and city, the experience remains grounded in neighborhood scale and architectural authenticity.
