HouseMalvern (Australia)

Freestanding, double-fronted and just a matter of metres from Glenferrie Road’s thriving café and dining scene, this utterly charming, 1890 constructed, three bedroom plus two office Victorian residence is set on an opportunity-filled north-facing allotment of 413 square metres (approx.). Lovingly maintained and offered for the first time in 34 years, the home’s rich original heritage has been updated with a sunny alfresco flow while presenting a compelling sense of further opportunity you can comfortably pursue at your leisure.As it fills with northern light and extends outdoors to a sundrenched paved alfresco dining area, the kitchen / dining / living is crafted for family life and announces itself as the home’s heart, while a large and ambient lounge is well removed from the open-plan. With a pair of studios / home offices and a workshop also gazing out upon an established quince tree and the depths the backyard, the home’s flexibility and possibilities become clear, with an abundance of rich Victorian detail including pressed metal ceilings, a central bathroom / laundry, a garden shed, and gas heating.From this highly central street with a tangible sense of community, you can walk easily to a diversity of first-class local cafes, restaurants, bars and Malvern Central Shopping Centre, whilst multiple tram routes provide excellent private school access and there are city-bound trams from Malvern Railway Station.
