Auction Sat, 23rd May - 2pm (USP)
Home to multiple generations of the one family, this enduring freestone villa is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to take a sound and solid four-bedroom treasure and turn it into something special on its vast north-south plot, with room to extend with rare freedom.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a more pure example of the c1910 villa; its 3.7m-high ceilings, expansive sash windows in the main bedroom and sweeping arched hall define a truly grand home with six main rooms and an ensuited main bedroom in its original section alone.
Uncover and polish its timber boards, give it a fresh coat of paint, update the ensuite and replace the existing rear extension with something big, bold, architectural and truly worthy of its blue-chip Malvern address.
Open the door to:
⁃ A once-in-a-generation starting point, pairing period detail with a 782sqm allotment primed for a bold architectural extension
⁃ Lofty 3.7m ceilings, deep skirtings, tall sash windows in the main bedroom and a sweeping arched hallway that still carries the grandeur of its turn-of-the-century origins
⁃ Four bedrooms plus a study, including an ensuited main bedroom with walk-in robe, giving the existing footprint more liveability than many villas of its era
⁃ A north-facing rear bringing the light, warmth and garden connection a future extension deserves
⁃ A functional, timber-topped kitchen with a Miele oven, Smeg cooktop, dishwasher and extensive storage
⁃ Stone construction to the front and sides, reinforcing the home's enduring quality and giving any renovation a timeless starting point
⁃ A garage at the rear and additional off-street parking
⁃ An underground cellar
⁃ A prestigious leafy Malvern address that rewards ambition, whether the plan is to restore gently, renovate boldly or build a family home worthy of its once-in-a-lifetime setting
Close the Door on:
⁃ Starting with a weak shell. This c1910 freestone villa offers grand proportions, robust stone construction and a timeless presence money struggles to recreate
⁃ Outgrowing the floorplan. Four bedrooms, a study, huge formal lounge, rear family room and ensuited main bedroom already give the home genuine family scale
Leafy streets, beautiful old homes on big blocks and the rare ability to move between Unley Road, cosmopolitan King William Road, café-centric Duthy Street, prestigious colleges, Unley Oval and the city itself with nothing more than a stroll, pedal or short drive. It's a Malvern thing.
