Landmark Art Deco by the River

Expressions Of Interest Closing 24th October 2025 at 12pm (unless sold prior)

Shaded by mature trees and quietly elevated above a prized cul-de-sac, this 1930s studio apartment, designed by Howard Lawson, is a genuine pied-à-terre or smart investment, offering history and lifestyle in one of Melbourne’s most atmospheric riverside pockets.

There’s an unmistakable European ambience here, with a narrow street lined with tables spilling out from a local café, the Yarra River just beyond, and the Botanic Gardens an easy walk away. Overlooking the trees above street level, the desirable aspect allows northern light to filter through leadlight windows into the living/bedroom spaces, emphasising exquisite period details, including an ornate fireplace and decorative ceilings. A compact black-and-white tiled kitchenette and a modernised bathroom with a shower/bath combination add to the simplistic charm, whilst storage is neatly resolved with built-in robes.

Discreetly positioned, yet brilliantly connected, from this landmark address, the city’s cultural and sporting heart is within easy walking distance. The MCG, and lively foodie precincts, such as Chapel Street, Swan Street and Toorak Road sit just moments away, with a short walk taking you to South Yarra Station and tram links, plus open parkland, including the Tan running track, only 800m away.
