Retaining an impressive array of original period detail while presenting exciting scope for the future, this beautifully maintained three-bedroom family home delivers an enticing combination of character, comfort and potential. Elevated within a highly sought-after Malvern East pocket on the cusp of the prestigious Gascoigne Estate, it offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy immediately, invest with confidence, or renovate and extend to create a bespoke family residence (STCA).
Offered with council approved planning permits for a thoughtfully designed extension to create a substantial four-bedroom family home with generous living spaces and a garage, the home gives future owners the flexibility to transform the property when the timing is right.
For buyers who are not looking to renovate, the home is ready to be enjoyed as it is. Beyond its picturesque period façade, a wide entrance hall sets an elegant tone, introducing interiors rich in warmth and character. Exquisite leadlight windows, picture rails, Baltic pine floors and intricately detailed ornate ceilings are among the many original features that have been superbly preserved. Bathed in natural light, the generous living room is framed by large picture windows and centred around a classic mantel, creating an inviting setting for relaxed family living and entertaining.
The adjoining kitchen and meals area is well appointed with quality appliances, ample cabinetry and a walk-in pantry, providing a practical and welcoming space for casual dining and entertaining in style. Accommodation is equally generous, comprising three beautifully proportioned bedrooms, two featuring built-in robes, each enjoying the character and natural light that flows throughout the home. A well-appointed central family bathroom conveniently services the bedrooms.
At the rear, a charming sunroom captures abundant natural light and leafy garden outlooks, providing a peaceful space to relax. Beyond, the expansive sun-soaked backyard is surrounded by established gardens and lush lawn, offering wonderful space for entertaining, family barbecues and children to play, while providing excellent scope for a future extension or enhancement (STCA).
Additional features include a separate laundry and toilet with scope to renovate, heating and cooling throughout, established gardens, a single lock-up garage and ample off-street parking.
Completing the appeal is an outstanding lifestyle location close to Malvern Primary School, Central Park, Hedgeley Dene Gardens, Monash University, Waverley Road shopping and trams, Caulfield Station and a host of leading schools and amenities.
