Malvern East

A genuinely rare opportunity offered for only the second time in nearly 100 years. This bold architect designed family residence seamlessly integrates cutting-edge interiors with the natural environment, maximising light, space and flow for versatile zoned living and entertaining amongst sublime parkland vistas. A previous "Victorian Home of the Year - Best Custom Design" winner that still defines contemporary Australian luxury, this tranquil family sanctuary sits beautifully elevated on a cul-de-sac abutting Malvern Valley Golf Course and Winton Reserve.

With a nod to exquisite Japanese landscaping, the mature garden introduces the remarkable entrance with its soaring 6-metre glass void revealing a treetop vista framed by a striking wall mural and crystal water feature. Cleverly designed as two separate wings around a central entry foyer, ironbark timber floors anchor lofty ceilings and clean lines extending to the spacious lounge domain with luxurious Euro wood fireplace and picture window garden outlook. Opposite, open plan dining offers north-facing floor-to-ceiling parkland views, as does the kitchen with Galaxy granite island/benches, smoked mirror splashback, ample storage and walk-in pantry. Doors slide open to the magnificent alfresco BBQ deck where you and your guests will enjoy treetop dining, relaxing and entertaining overlooking the golf course.

All bedrooms uncover breathtaking parkland panoramas, including the downstairs main bedroom with broad balcony, the ideal spot for a quiet morning coffee. A generous walk-in robe sits adjacent to a stylish spa ensuite and separate WC. Upstairs, three spacious and light-filled bedrooms - two with deluxe ensuites - surround a peaceful retreat/study zone.

Outside, stairs lead down to a wine cellar and covered utility space overlooking the enchanting natural rear garden and pond area.

This unique home also comprises a laundry with storage and desk nook, wet room, zoned ducted gas heating/cooling, ducted vacuum, auto blinds, security cameras, alarm, underground power and optic fibre, solar system with battery storage, two water tanks, own gate access to golf course and an internally accessed oversized double garage with storage.

Superbly positioned close to local cafes, Chadstone Shopping Centre and High Street boutiques and dining, Monash Freeway, public transport (walk to East Malvern Station), excellent schools such as Caulfield Grammar, Sacre Coeur and Korowa, with easy access to Gardiner's Creek Trail, and an array of parkland spaces.
