2045 Malvern Road
Malvern East

An exquisitely charming, solid brick, Art Deco residence offered for the first time in over 50 years and with its 1930s character almost perfectly in tact, ‘Tainui’ is a remarkably peaceful, four bedroom plus study family classic, nestled behind an established wall of hedging on a coveted corner allotment of 570 square metres (approx.), all with convenient cul -de- sac access via Taylor Court. Brimming with the natural light of its broad northern exposure, the home is set under high ceilings of fine detail with original hardwood flooring throughout, rich timber internal doors and architraves as well as leadlight windows to indicate the elegance of its generation, whilst a sundrenched backyard hints at a strong sense of future potential (STCA).

A largely original kitchen sits next to an informal breakfast / meals area while offering servery-style connection to the dining room. Lit by a circular window and warmed by a roaring open fireplace, the lounge is a proud expression of Deco heritage, whilst a rear veranda, an elevated sundeck and paved outdoor living point to the home’s alfresco potential.

Set above the home’s lock-up garage and sundeck, the fourth bedroom introduces wonderful flexibility suited to a home office / studio, multigenerational living, a teen bedroom or even student accommodation. Additional highlights of this practical residence include a carport, a traditionally styled though updated bathroom with spa, separate wc, ducted heating throughout and the natural insulation of a clinker brick construction.

Offering a cul- de- sac lifestyle in a highly convenient Malvern Road position, with easy access to private schools and near terrific local cafes, Malvern East Railway Station, Waverley Road trams, buses, Gardiners Creek parkland and the M1 Freeway, whilst there is plenty of nearby shopping at Chadstone, Malvern Central and Koornang Road.
