A generational family entertainer within a tightly held and leafy Malvern East pocket, this particularly impressive, 1927-constructed, solid brick California Bungalow has been brilliantly renovated to offer four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a home office or study and a soothing sense of connection to its lush garden surrounds. Grand scale rooms with enormous windows create a celebration of light and proportion in a home that is intelligently zoned to offer wonderful spaciousness, and spaces in which the growing family can gather, celebrate and even find some solitude when necessary.
A lofty, light and airy open-plan is the home's contemporary heart, highlighting Spotted Gum parquetry flooring and free-flowing alfresco entertaining all of which is backed by lush established gardens and set under a stunning Coolabah Gum tree to evoke a calming sense of oasis. Anchored by a granite-topped kitchen, the open-plan handles everything from daily family meals to large scale parties, while a lounge at the front of the home, a home office / library and upstairs living ensures there is plenty of space for everyone.
Delivering a welcome sense of parental privacy, the primary bedroom is set downstairs with walk-in robe- and a fresh, fully tiled ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms are all genuinely large doubles and situated upstairs with built-in robes, while offering convenient adjacency to a family bathroom, separate wc and upstairs living that could readily be converted to a fifth bedroom, if needed. Further highlights include all the hallmarks of its period legacy including a pair of ornamental fireplaces, detailed ceilings and diamond-shaped lead lighting that is themed throughout, plus there is ducted heating, evaporative cooling and a split system for year-round comfort.
This is a premier family location within a picturesque treelined avenue, just metres from some great local cafes, Terminus Village, Waverley Road trams, East Malvern Railway Station and endless Gardiners Creek trails, whilst Koornang Road shops and dining, Chadstone Shopping Centre and Monash University are also nearby.
