As a popular and highly sought-after suburb, Abbotsford is home to a mix of vibrant restaurants, amenities, and parks. Located three kilometres east of Melbourne’s CBD, it makes for a convenient location for buyers looking to live close to the city yet enjoy a suburban lifestyle.

Coming soon to the locale is New Johnston, a lively and boutique residential development presented by Melbourne-based property developer DCF Property Group.

Buyers have been loving this apartment collection, with one-bedders already sold out. With stamp duty savings of up to $112,800 available until October 2025 for all buyers, it’s no wonder these residences are being snapped up.

As New Johnston’s stunning two- and three-bedrooms are a highlight and still available, young professionals, downsizers, and mature families looking to live close to private schooling have their eyes set on this Abbotsford address.

What sets New Johnston’s design apart? 

Abbotsford is the new “it” inner north place, proudly located between Collingwood and Fitzroy. Residents can expect to be immersed in a vibrant community at this oh-so-cool location, and even moreso within New Johnston’s very own walls.

Artfully curated to connect with nearby parklands and views, New Johnston’s residences employ relaxed and tranquil palettes and details.

The stunning interiors of each two- and three-bedroom apartment have been designed by Melbourne-based interior design practice, Zunica.

“We aim to offer a peaceful retreat connected to a vibrant cultural scene in your home,” Andrew Zunica, principal of Zunica.

“To achieve this, we feature a distinct remix of old and new finishes authentic and honest to Abbotsford, like the grey-green stone, olive mosaic, and brass or brushed nickel fixtures.”

When refining the internal layout, the building’s architecture was blended in with open-plan living areas to create a seamless indoor-outdoor transition for easy everyday living and breezes to flow through.

Additionally, these living spaces are extended by the connection to private outdoor balconies and terraces which are expansive to accommodate alfresco dining and secluded enough to invite quiet contemplation.

Paying homage to Abbotsford’s heritage, the character of surrounding warehouses is referenced in depth and shadow and a stepped façade to the north, which bathes interiors in natural light and reveals sweeping views of Victoria Park.

Come home to sweeping views

Backdropping these tranquil spaces are stunning views.

Residents who reside in apartments facing north can enjoy sweeping views of Victoria Park from their living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms.

Those facing south can enjoy the glittering city skyline surrounded by tree lines, the Yarra River, and the Abbotsford Convent.

Dual aspect positioning at the penthouses means breathtaking views of the cityscape, with floor-to-ceiling windows allowing the beauty to be captured at any time of the day.

Tailor your home!

New Johnston has been designed to allow residents to tailor and cater their homes to their needs and wants. Residents can modify their space to suit with the option to add a bar or study space.

Current buyers of New Johnston selected it based on their ability to tailor the colour scheme of the tiles, the fantastic location and beautiful views.

Great walkability

In addition to the finishes, beautiful views, and well-considered large windows throughout the home, buyers have been loving the convenience of this Abbotsford location.

Nestled conveniently between the city and the peaceful banks of the Yarra, New Johnston’s neighbours range from warehouse breweries and bustling farmers markets to brunches in hyped cafes and Sunday roasts in historic pubs.

You can truly have it all at New Johnston.
