73 Ofarrell Street, Yarraville, Vic 3013

There’s an undeniable warmth to this beautiful Victorian - the kind of home that feels welcoming from the moment you arrive. Framed by a classic picket fence, charming façade and inviting front porch, this circa-1913 residence pairs its original period soul with a thoughtfully extended and beautifully updated rear, creating a home that feels both timeless and wonderfully liveable.

The original front of the home is rich with character, with high ceilings, sash windows, pressed metal ceilings and delicate latticework providing a beautiful sense of history. Three bedrooms sit along the central hallway, each with built-in robes and new carpet, while a gorgeous bathroom introduces a freestanding clawfoot bath alongside a generous vanity and separate shower.

Beyond, the home transforms into a light-filled contemporary retreat. The extended rear opens into a generous kitchen, dining and living space, centred around a long breakfast bar, stone benchtops and extensive cabinetry. Polished timber floors and feature pendant lighting bring warmth and personality, while stacker doors blur the line between inside and out, opening to a private decked courtyard made for long lunches, evening drinks and easy entertaining.

Freshly painted and thoughtfully appointed, the home combines everyday practicality with year-round comfort. A European laundry and excellent storage keep things beautifully streamlined, while hydronic heating and split-system heating and cooling throughout ensure the home remains comfortable in every season. A rear right of way adds further flexibility, with the potential to create off-street parking should the courtyard be reimagined.

Then there is the location - arguably one of the most enjoyable ways to experience the Inner West. From here, mornings can begin with coffee at Advieh Café, fresh produce from The Happy Apple Grocer or something delicious from Alfa Bakehouse. Meet friends at Mona Castle Hotel, catch a film at the much-loved Sun Theatre, wander through Yarraville Gardens or stroll between the villages of Yarraville and Seddon. With Yarraville Square, local parks and both train stations less than a kilometre away, everyday life feels wonderfully effortless.

A home with heart, history and a beautifully considered modern edge, this is Victorian living at its most inviting - a place to settle in, slow down and truly enjoy everything that makes this pocket of the Inner West so special.
