3 Howitt Street, South Yarra

In a quiet cul-de-sac just moments from Hawksburn Village, this freestanding solid brick Victorian offers a rare opportunity in a tightly held pocket, where stunning period features meet a functional, light-filled floorplan, multiple living zones, and the advantage of secure parking via a second frontage to Joy Street. A north-facing orientation and beautifully proportioned dual-level design create flexibility for family living and entertaining, all within walking distance of cafés, restaurants and transport.

Baltic pine floors and soaring ceilings guide natural light along the hallway, where a grand arch introduces an executive study or sitting room with a marble fireplace and custom hardwood shelving. The generous ground-floor main bedroom enjoys privacy and garden outlooks, complete with a walk-in robe and marble semi-ensuite beneath a domed ceiling, while two further bedrooms and a second bathroom continue the accommodation upstairs.

A central formal living room honours the home’s heritage with 4m-high ceilings, before the layout shifts to relaxed everyday living at the rear. The Miele and Smeg-appointed kitchen connects through French doors to an awning-covered terrace, creating an inviting outdoor dining setting, while a second living domain opens directly to the private north-facing garden, framed by established greenery and a tranquil water feature.

Hydronic heating, alarm security, concealed laundry, wide side access and grey water irrigation support daily ease, while the address places you within easy reach of Loreto Mandeville Hall, Melbourne Grammar, Melbourne High School and Toorak Primary School, along with Chapel Street, Prahran Market and multiple transport options, yet remains quietly tucked away from the activity.
