What's around 24 Mayfield Street

Riverside Sanctuary In Heart Of The City

Hidden behind a secure gate and embraced by lush gardens, this extraordinary Abbotsford residence offers a lifestyle of rare calm and timeless allure. Set upon approximately 1,225sqm with a 39m approx. frontage to the river and looking out over acres of natural bushland, the home unfolds as a harmonious collection of spaces, each bathed in natural northern light and imbued with warmth. Built around 1890 as one of a distinctive pair, the home occupies land once forming part of the historic Mayfield estate of early Melbourne diarist and watercolourist Georgiana McCrae. At the time, Abbotsford was a semi-rural riverside retreat where large pastoral holdings stretched along the Yarra, long before the suburb evolved into the vibrant inner-city enclave it is today. This bespoke residence faces toward the river, capturing tranquil garden and Yarra River outlooks framed by endless vistas of Melbourne's largest bushland park from every room a defining feature of the property today. The main residence invites intimate gatherings and quiet reflection alike: a marble-island chef's kitchen with ILVE appliances flows effortlessly into lounge and dining areas, while hydronic heating and reverse-cycle cooling ensure comfort in every season. Upstairs, a master suite opens to a balcony with serene Yarra River vistas, creating a peaceful retreat overlooking gardens, the water, parklands beyond, and the surrounding bush perfect for enjoying the fresh air and wildlife. Adding to the property's extraordinary versatility are two self-contained retreats, a self-contained apartment, thoughtfully converted from the property's original stables dating from the early 1900s, and a self-contained studio, ideal for extended family, visiting friends, or creative pursuits. The gardens themselves are exquisite, a true sanctuary of greenery and light. Expansive lawns, lush plantings, meandering paths, and a full bocce court create the perfect setting for long lunches, quiet reflection, or lively entertaining, while offering fresh air, complete privacy, no freeways or fumes, and the rare delight of watching rowers on the river and dogs taking a swim. This is more than a home; it is a rare riverside sanctuary where history, elegance, and versatility combine to create something truly exceptional in Abbotsford living. North-facing with endless outlooks over nature, it is difficult to imagine a more remarkable piece of land in inner Melbourne. Although it feels like you're in the bush, Mayfield has all the inner-city indulgences one could want. The best restaurants and bars of Fitzroy, Richmond, and Collingwood are around the corner, not to mention Melbourne's best pubs and cafés. For something a little different, enjoy relaxed weekends exploring nearby parklands, art galleries, and the Yarra River trails. Victoria Gardens and Richmond Traders offer everyday convenience, whilst specialty stores like Toscano's, Meatsmith, and Falco Bakery are all just up the road. The location perfectly balances inner-city living with the blissful tranquillity of riverside bushland and expansive natural surroundings.

Great result - Great Estate Agent in every way.

I would like to share a message I received from a friend, an architect, a developer and a successful property person. “Congratulations on your terrific sale. You interviewed and selected the ‘RIGHT’ Real Estate Agent You committed to the right level of excellent advertising You agreed to a professional dressing of the house Now you have achieved a fantastic, well earned result. VERY WELL DONE.” I recently sold my home of 26 years. 24 Mayfield Street, Abbotsford is a wonderful property River frontage, with a well built, well designed house and a beautiful Garden. I loved my property, but a hospital stay made me realize it was time to move on. The timing was not ideal with an EIO closing 11th May. The garden was not at its best, Trumps war had just got started, the market was concerning. I met with Sarah Case and knew she was the best person. She was strong and gave me the direction I needed. She helped me with all the hard work involved in getting my property on the market. Everything was done at the right level and with absolute excellence. Photography, brochure wording and design, presentation of the property was just right. Media coverage was exceptional including being featured on today show. She worked hard, attended every open, followed up potential buyers and negotiated on my behalf to achieve a great result. Sara is bright, fun, energetic and a good businessperson that is highly respected in the industry. Sara, thank you, you are amazing.
