17 McKinley Avenue
Malvern

An innovative renovation that combines the talents of architect Geoff Challis and landscape designer, Rick Eckersley has resulted in this unforgettably beautiful and eminently functional family domain. Refined Edwardian elegance is complemented brilliantly by sophisticated contemporary style through indoor and outdoor spaces that effortlessly cater to every modern family requirement in a prized pocket near Malvern Primary, Malvern station and Glenferrie Rd shops and restaurants.

The ornate high ceilings and wide chocolate stained Oak floors through the arched hallway create a dramatic first impression. Period elegance defines two gorgeous downstairs bedrooms both with stunning en-suites and fitted robes, a study with open fireplace and convenient separate entrance and a fabulous media room opening to the side garden. A full height recessed door separates the original rooms from the spectacular extension distinguished by dark polished concrete floors, oak paneling, a soaring void and floor to ceiling glass. Expansive in scale, the sensational living and dining area with pebble gas fire and a sleek state of the art Miele kitchen with walk-in pantry opens out to the picturesque northwest gardens. A covered BBQ terrace overlooks the glorious gardens with self-cleaning heated pool, a shallow mosaic pond and in ground trampoline. A striking "suspended" staircase leads up to a children's zone comprising three double bedrooms all fitted with robes and desks, a stylish bathroom and large retreat with balcony.

Bespoke finishes and up to the minute technology highlight the attention to detail throughout this memorable home. Comprehensively appointed with hydronic heating, ducted cooling, keyless entry, alarm, video intercom, Push home automation, Sonos, powder-room, laundry, wine room, garden shed, storage, auto gates and double carport. 780.4sqm (approx.)
