A timeless traditional façade framed by a picket fence and flowering gum trees provides a quintessential family welcome to this meticulously renovated and extended Malvern East residence. Beyond its c1920s solid brick exterior, a visionary architectural transformation of this Californian Bungalow reveals a luxurious family domain where heritage character meets contemporary sophistication, with the backdrop of a sparkling pool and spa. Polished concrete floors and reclaimed timber beams from the historic Maribyrnong Bridge introduce the modern extension, where generous open plan living and dining spaces embrace family connection and easy entertaining. The inviting living room with a wood fire heater sits alongside a dedicated media or music room, while the open plan family living and dining room showcases a kitchen with striking quartz benchtops. A suite of high end appliances features across the kitchen and fully fitted dual purpose butler's pantry and laundry, enabling everyday practicality and easy entertaining. Seamless indoor outdoor flow defines the home's family appeal, with bifold doors opening to a private garden oasis. Lush established greenery frames a gas heated pool and eight seater spa, complemented by a covered alfresco with automatic rain sensor louvred roof and integrated heat strips for year round enjoyment. Smart technology enables effortless control of the pool, spa, irrigation and lighting via app, underscoring a focus on modern convenience. Upstairs, the luxurious parents' retreat enjoys floor to ceiling windows with electric blinds overlooking the pool and garden, a private lounge, walk in robe and a beautifully appointed ensuite. Three additional bedrooms with built in robes share two designer bathrooms, while flexible family spaces include a children's attic playroom, a study, gym or media room and an understairs wine cellar. A secure built in safe provides peace of mind, and every modern comfort has been considered, from Split system heating and refrigerated cooling to a gas log fire, a solar array with a Tesla battery and a comprehensive security system with video monitoring. Surrounded by mature landscaped gardens and thick privacy screening, this exceptional home sits within easy reach of Chadstone Shopping Centre, Waverley Road trams, East Malvern and Carnegie stations, leading schools and leafy local parks.
