Using New York loft living as the inspiration, a brilliant design by architect Emlyn Olaver has utterly transformed this classic solid brick Edwardian residence into a stunning, sophisticated family sanctuary. Entered from Deakin Street where the zinc clad extension makes a spectacular presence, a solid timber door reveals interiors featuring soaring raftered ceilings, polished and heated concrete floors and exposed honeycomb brick walls. To one side is a cosy sitting/media room and to the left, the spectacular open plan living and dining room is radiant with natural light and surrounded by floor to ceiling glass. A woodfire heater adds atmosphere while the sleek gourmet kitchen caters effortlessly to every culinary challenge with its Neff/Bosh appliances, integrated fridge/freezer, Carrara marble benches and butler's pantry. The three over-sized sliders extend the living and entertaining options out to a large L-shaped deck and private landscaped easy-care garden offering secure off-street parking. Intelligently zoned accommodation comprises a parent's wing with a gorgeous bedroom with fireplace, generous walk-in robes, a designer en suite and spacious fitted home office and upstairs, two additional king-sized bedrooms with robes and desks, a rumpus retreat and stylish bathroom. On the edge of the Gascoigne Estate walking distance to trams, Malvern station, cafes, Glenferrie Rd shops, Malvern Primary, a range of private schools and Central Park, it includes an alarm, video intercom, ducted heating/cooling, RC/air-conditioners, heated bathroom floors, remote blinds, powder-room, laundry, ample storage and remote gate. Land size: 362sqm approx.
