Embrace the elegance of this freestanding Edwardian home, set on a significant garden allotment measuring approximately 495sqm. A compelling combination of traditional foundations and future potential (STCA) is framed by established trees and mature gardens that include a pergola and shaded rear verandah creating perfect privacy. The existing floorplan features a formal living room with an open fireplace and French doors that open to the north. Two double bedrooms share a large bathroom with a claw foot bath, while a kitchen with space for dining, a large laundry and wc complete the offering. Polished timber floors, high ceilings, feature leadlight windows, cornicing and ceiling roses, plus air conditioning, a carport and car space are a few of the additional highlights included. Energy efficient east-west orientation means the entire length of the architectural footprint is bathed in northern light, creating the groundwork for new ideas. Excellent access from the adjacent side and rear laneways underscores great opportunity. While perfectly liveable now, approved plans and permits exist to transform the current home by way of a two-storey extension, creating a luxurious four-bedroom-plus-study residence complete with a first-floor retreat, deluxe main bedroom suite and excellent indoor-outdoor connection. A fringe Gascoigne Estate position on a treelined street allows an easy walk to Malvern Primary, Central Park and Wattletree Road’s transport links, or make the most of excellent proximity to a choice of shopping destinations including East Malvern village, Glenferrie Road and Malvern Central.
