Overview

Bespoke Family Elegance with Upside

Elegant and expansive in a coveted family pocket, this solid brick, circa-1927 constructed family residence has been renovated to deliver a bespoke synthesis of its rich original interwar character with an effortless alfresco flow and family-friendly flexibility. Set within superbly tended established gardens on an elevated parcel of 734 square metres (approx.), the home offers five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a thriving family lifestyle in a location defined by a great local café culture, vast parkland and transport for easy city and private school access. Set behind brilliantly coloured established roses, the home's picture-perfect façade creates an attractive street presence as it opens to reveal all the hallmarks of its era - including strapped ceilings, polished timber flooring, rich timber accents and plenty of leadlight - before stepping through to an unashamedly modern open-plan rear. Here, a stone-topped and European-equipped kitchen / dining area flows through a huge bank of concertina doors to undercover alfresco entertaining that is backed by established trees and a firepit area to suit all stages of family living and entertaining. With double built-in robes and its own skylit ensuite, the primary bedroom is a well-proportioned parental sanctuary, whilst the remaining bedrooms are also impressively sized in the style of period homes one of which could readily be reinstated as a formal dining room if preferred, and another which is independently accessed to suit a multigenerational lifestyle. Further highlights include a carport with securely gated driveway parking for another five vehicles, plus there is a vogue designer family bathroom with independent bathtub, a powder room, laundry, solar power and reverse cycle heating / air conditioning. Walk easily to local cafes, shopping at Terminus Village on Waverley Road and East Malvern Railway Station, while the endless expanses of Gardiners Creek parkland are also within easy reach, plus you have city-bound trams and everything you need just moments away at Chadstone Shopping Centre.
