A unique urban sanctuary offered for the first time in almost 30 years, this double-fronted Victorian residence benefits from a bold renovation, crafted by the renowned Martin Pearce of Bates Smart Architecture. Certain to exceed expectations, this north-facing, four bedroom, two bathroom home reveals an evocative use of natural stone, timbers and glass to create an alluring alfresco connection while offering scope to easily reintroduce rear parking for two vehicles via ROW.

At its heart, the home transitions from its period origins to an angular, glass-encased kitchen / meals / living where stone and stainless-steel working surfaces are complemented by Bosch appliances and a feature waterwall of Travertine. Sliding doors extend the open-plan outdoors to a north-facing entertainers’ deck set amidst lush, self-seeding gardens that are soothed by the sounds of a water feature.

Upstairs, a pair of lofty bedrooms – each with substantial built-in robe storage – offer easy access to a showpiece bathroom with a Travertine-surrounded spa bath and abundant natural light. Further highlights of the home include a pair of independently accessed home offices / studios with their own garden outlooks, as well as a dining room, two powder rooms, a clever wine cellar, split system heating and air conditioning.

From this premium location merely metres from Glenferrie Road, you can walk easily to all the café culture, restaurants, bars and retail of both Glenferrie Road and High Street Armadale, plus you have multiple tram routes for easy city commuting and access to a diversity of private schools, plus you have Malvern Central Shopping Centre and Malvern Railway Station.
