Owners Notes

I have lived at 19 Howitt Street South Yarra for over 30 years. I choose this house as it is close to everything, but not too close. I found a neighbourhood with gorgeous parks, a lovely community and village atmosphere, exactly what I was looking for.

There is so much to do in South Yarra, you can tram or train into the city, walk to the shops, go to a park or cinema and the freeway is just nearby to take you quickly out of town. I have relished being so close to the Hawksburn village which has an abundance of shops, cafes, restaurants and the list goes on. Everything I need is at my fingertips. I am spoilt for choice when it comes to food shopping, Toscano’s and Bouchier the butcher is just around the corner and the Prahran Market is a stroll away. I am surrounded by coffee shops but I do love Leaf Lane café across the road from the Hawksburn Station. If you need some retail therapy Chapel Street is in walking distance with many well know shops to browse, however you may not need to go that far considering the options available to you in the Hawksburn Village. I can walk up to the village to meet my friends for lunch or buy a book to read or a new outfit to wear. I love going to the movies, so living in walking distance to The Jam Factory and Como cinemas has been a joy. There are many beautiful parks nearby and Victoria Gardens is one of my favourites. My grandchildren have loved the playground there and I have loved the open-air music concerts held there every summer. I have also really liked strolling along the banks of the Yarra river, watching the row boats or having breakfast at Canteen. I have been spoilt for choice.

I have lovingly maintained the house over the years. I have epically enjoyed watching the garden grow and sitting on my front porch or in the back garden enjoying the beautiful sunshine, while reading my book or watching the world go by.

I have loved living in this house, but it is time for someone else to enjoy it.
