3 Malvern Grove
Caulfield North

Offered for the first time in almost half a century, this exquisitely charming, block-fronted and slate-roofed Victorian residence has been renovated and extended to present four bedrooms, a study and an alluring, open-plan, alfresco flow. Set within the tree-lined tranquility of one of the area's most tightly held streets, the home is delightfully tucked away, within comfortable walking distance of Caulfield Park, Glenferrie Road and plenty of transport.

With its original high-ceilinged character tastefully preserved, the home flows past four traditional bedrooms - two with built-in robes and all with either ornamental or functional fireplaces - to its open-plan rear where a central timber-topped kitchen separates dining and living. Bathed in the natural light from both the north and the east, two sets of concertina doors create seamless, entertainers' connection to paved outdoor living and a substantial backyard.

Upstairs, a parental retreat is a welcome indulgence with built-in robes, an ensuite, a sunny breakfast balcony and a study, whilst additional highlights include a clever concealed laundry, volumes of storage, ducted heating, split system air conditioning, attic storage, a security alarm and CCTV surveillance as well as front parking.

With the vast expanses of Caulfield Park just at the bottom of the street, this is a first-class family location near wonderful local cafes, plenty of trams along Hawthorn Road and Dandenong Road, all the dining options of Glenferrie Road and all the shopping of Malvern Central Shopping Centre.
