322 Walsh Street South Yarra – James Buyer Advocates
Vertical Luxury On Walsh Street For True City People
322 Walsh Street is a rare South Yarra townhouse that packs in almost every internal bell and whistle you could ask for at this level. Think multiple levels of separation, bedroom accommodation away from the main living zones, a basement, views from upstairs and a pool and courtyard that you can look back to from inside. On about three hundred and ninety five square metres with an asking price not far off thirteen million this is very much about jamming a lot of home into a compact blue ribbon land size.
The real question here is not the quality of the fitout. It is whether vertical living over four levels suits you. Day to day life is up and down stairs and that is simply not for everyone in Australia at this price point. If you love the idea of clear separation between how you live and where you sleep and you like the rhythm of moving between levels then this setup works incredibly well. If you want expansive outdoor grounds as your main experience then you may feel the yard and the views are acceptable rather than inspiring at this price.
So this is a property for a particular type of buyer who sees themselves as a city person and wants a lock and leave base with serious internal wow in a prime South Yarra position.

James Home Ratings is a 25 year old, patented, 1500 buy/sells plus 1,000-point scoring system based on the 3 critical drivers of long-term property value:
Three Pillar Value Drivers
- POSITION — “Where money is attracted to”
Street appeal, precinct, orientation, land size, walkability, school zones - PROPERTY — “Where money is spent”
Flow, floorplan, architecture, renovation quality, future potential - PRICE — “What the market rewards”
Relative value vs price paid, cycle timing, agent positioning
Why It Works – Patterns
Because real estate, at its core, is about human behaviour—and history repeats itself.
Each home is scored independently and consistently, based on how it aligns with long-term demand and supply fundamentals for it’s specific area property type—that way you can compare a block of land with an apartment in different areas with different budgets..
A, B, C-Grade – Know the Difference
- A-Grade: Always in demand. Rare, proven, and resilient through market shifts.
- B-Grade: Good, but situational. Can work well when bought or sold smartly.
- C-Grade: Riskier. More emotion-driven, often overhyped, and harder to recover value.
