17/1 Abbott Street

Abbotsford is about 2 km (roughly 1.2 mi) north‑east of Melbourne’s CBD, so the property is within a short walk or bike ride of the city centre.

The suburb is served by Collingwood and Victoria Park railway stations on the Mernda and Hurstbridge lines, plus tram routes 109, 12 and 78 along Victoria Street, and several bus routes such as 200, 207 and 202 that run along Johnston Street.

Within 0.2‑0.4 km you can walk to the iconic Skipping Girl Sign, Victoria Park football stadium, Dights Falls, the Dights Mill site, and the historic Dorothy Terraces on Lulie Street.

Abbotsford, originally called Carran‑carramulk by the Wurundjeri people, was first subdivided in 1838 and developed as an industrial hub before becoming a culturally diverse inner‑city suburb with heritage‑protected terraces and landmarks.

Much of Abbotsford’s residential streets feature heritage‑overlayed Victorian terrace houses, and nearby heritage sites include the Dorothy Terraces and the former Denton Hat Mills complex that has been converted to apartments.

Residents can enjoy walking and cycling along the Yarra River Trail, visit Dights Falls and the Collingwood Children’s Farm, or attend events at Victoria Park stadium, all within a few minutes’ walk.

Abbotsford is designated as one of the 82 Major Activity Centres in the Metropolitan Strategy Melbourne 2030, reflecting its strong mix of residential, commercial and cultural functions.
