Overview
This impressive Edwardian residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial single-level family home embodying a harmonious blend of period elegance and contemporary lifestyle conveniences. Set on a generous 680 square metre parcel, the solid brick home, constructed circa 1910, sits quietly behind trimmed hedges and a tessellated verandah in one of Malvern's distinguished streets.
The property captivates with its well-preserved architectural character, featuring soaring ceilings, leadlight windows, and bespoke joinery that enrich the two spacious living areas at the front of the home. These spaces are designed to seamlessly integrate with the surrounding garden, flooding the interiors with natural light and creating an inviting ambiance.
Accommodation is versatile, comprising up to five bedrooms, including a fitted study or potential fifth bedroom, making it well-suited for growing families or those requiring space for home offices or guests. The master suite is a standout with a large box bay window and abundant built-in wardrobe space, while the additional bedrooms offer generous proportions for comfort and flexibility.
Two stylishly renovated bathrooms enhance the comfort and convenience of the home, with the family bathroom particularly well-appointed featuring a freestanding bath and walk-in rain shower, underpinned by quality stone vanities.
At the rear, the home's character transitions to a more contemporary setting. The dining area with a fireplace is surrounded by soaring ceilings and a curved wall of windows overlooking the private swimming pool and garden, encouraging seamless indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen is both elegant and functional, equipped with stone bench surfaces, a large island, double Miele ovens, a dishwasher, and ample storage.
Outdoor living is a highlight with a mature garden surrounding a private pool, ideal for family gatherings and entertaining. A separate rumpus and entertaining room beside the pool, complete with a bar and dedicated storage, offers additional versatile space for relaxation or socializing, suitable for teenagers, guests, or games.
Additional home comforts include ducted heating, multiple split systems, dedicated laundry facilities, and secure off-street parking accessed via a rear right of way.
