Abbotsford

Description of the home

$1247.65 paid monthly ( = $287/wk ) + bills

The larger of two rooms is available for a second flat mate to share a beautiful little riverside apartment with me from the end of June or earlier. This place is a real sanctuary close to nature and the city's culture, it is warm and receives the morning sun. The room has an ensuite bathroom and built in wardrobe, an enclave and a floor to ceiling window looking out to trees and the river. We have a large balcony and the beginnings of a herb garden. We share a storage cage in the undercover carpark and space for one car.

Right on the Yarra, we are across from Yarra Bend Park and amazing walking tracks. We are a short stroll down the river to Studley Boathouse or Abbotsford Convent and Children's Farm with fortnightly organic markets, dance and yoga sessions and their magnificent gardens. The classes have been disrupted by Covid and the markets are monthly at the moment but the river and gardens are a great place to be right now.

From the location of our apartment, the Victoria Park train station is a 6 minute walk and trains to the Flinders St Station leave every 10 minutes. The bus stop is a 3 minute walk away on Johnston St. Routes 200 and 207 come frequently and will take you to the heart of Fitzroy in less than 10 minutes. Gertrude St and Brunswick St are close by with their wonderful food and culture, as well as the Convent on our doorstep which is Australia’s largest multi-arts precinct.
