Surrounded by extraordinary established gardens on 1,170sqm*, this captivating c1947 residence offers a wonderful sense of seclusion and space, with a spectacular swimming pool and a series of outdoor entertaining areas creating an idyllic setting for family living. Held by just three owners since construction, its beautifully maintained, updated proportions and exceptional versatility offer endless possibilities for all ages, with the added privilege of an enviable address steps from Gardiners Creek parkland and walking trails.
Beyond the secluded garden entrance and distinctive period facade, hardwood floors lead through to an expansive living room with a marble-surround gas fireplace and oversized windows overlooking the gardens on either side. The adjoining dining room and contemporary stone kitchen, appointed with premium appliances, open through French doors to an elevated deck with views across the gardens and pool, while a separate sitting room and home office add versatile options as needs grow. Down the hallway, the generous garden-facing main bedroom features extensive robes and an en-suite, complemented by three further bedrooms with robes and a second bathroom with a bath and separate WC. Downstairs, a fifth bedroom, large living room and laundry with an additional WC offer independent access to the garden and pool, further appealing to extended family or teenagers, or as a peaceful work-from-home space.
The open outdoor spaces are a particular highlight, with meandering crazy-paved stone pathways leading through established roses, hedging and a wisteria-covered arbour to the solar- and gas-heated pool. An expansive undercover BBQ terrace overlooks the magnificent central liquid amber, with built-in seating that extends events onto the sunny terrace, surrounded by greenery, seasonal colour, and complete privacy on all sides. Just minutes from leading schools, Darling, Malvern East and Alamein Station, Watson Park, and Ashburton Village, it offers a peerless turnkey family base, complete with ducted heating, reverse-cycle refrigerated cooling, and ample storage.
