Overview

Timeless character in a coveted Malvern East pocket

Located in one of Malvern East's most attractive tree-lined streets, this charming period home offers generous family proportions, enduring character and exciting potential to further enhance over time (STCA). Beautifully maintained and ready to enjoy, it combines flexible living spaces with a sought-after location close to parks, schools and transport. Beyond its welcoming façade, high ceilings, leadlight windows and original timber fretwork reflect the home's timeless appeal, while two separate living areas provide excellent versatility for growing families. A formal sitting room with a picturesque bay window offers a peaceful retreat, while the spacious open plan living and dining domain, centred around an open fireplace, connects effortlessly to the west-facing garden and undercover alfresco terrace for relaxed indoor-outdoor living. The bright, well-appointed kitchen overlooks the living spaces, while a separate air-conditioned studio/home office adds valuable flexibility for those working from home or seeking a creative retreat. Four generous bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged across two levels, including a spacious main suite with a walk-in dressing room, fitted cabinetry and elevated rooftop outlooks. A second upstairs bedroom with a walk-in robe shares a beautifully appointed bathroom, while two further bedrooms with built-in robes are positioned on the ground floor alongside a second elegant bathroom. A long driveway with excellent off-street parking and rear access to a double garage further enhances everyday practicality. Surrounded by highly sought-after school zones, leading private schools, Ardrie Park and excellent public transport, this is a wonderful opportunity to secure a character-filled family home in a tightly held neighbourhood with exceptional lifestyle appeal.
