Overview
This meticulously renovated Victorian cottage, originally built in 1893 by notable builder George Tuxworth, offers a harmonious blend of historic charm and modern sensibility, set within pristine garden surrounds in the heart of Malvern East.
Stepping inside, the residence is distinguished by soaring 11-foot ceilings and professionally restored timber flooring, features that not only preserve the period’s craftsmanship but also contribute to a spacious and inviting atmosphere throughout the home’s principal areas.
Configured with two formal bedrooms and a dedicated study that can easily function as a third bedroom, each room benefits from built-in robes, complementing the home’s thoughtful layout that maximises both comfort and functionality. The bathroom and separate powder room are contemporary in style, integrating European laundry facilities to meet modern living needs.
The expansive open-plan living and dining space forms the heart of the home, highlighted by a slow-combustion wood heater that creates a warm, relaxing environment. This area flows effortlessly into a skylit kitchen equipped with Miele appliances, a stone-topped island, updated storage solutions, and a stylish splashback, all designed to support both everyday living and entertaining.
Outdoor living is enhanced by French doors opening to a newly landscaped rear garden, featuring a covered pergola with permanent lighting and a brick-paved patio, offering an exceptional setting for gatherings and leisure. This seamless connection between indoors and outdoors amplifies the sense of space and versatility.
Additional highlights include a versatile loft space accessible via an attic ladder, suitable for a studio or home office; secure parking with three spaces including a double garage and workshop; and a bluestone garden shed, all accessible via remote-controlled entry and a rear right-of-way.
The property has been comprehensively refurbished, maintaining its historical integrity while incorporating smart central heating and cooling systems—Wi-Fi enabled and zoned for optimal convenience. Notably, the absence of a heritage overlay affords future flexibility for further enhancements.
Strategically located near key local amenities such as Caulfield Racecourse, Monash University, and Chadstone Shopping Centre, along with prominent schools and transport links, this home uniquely combines period elegance with lifestyle practicality and generous accommodation.
