42 Malvern Grove
Caulfield North

With its grand and exquisitely detailed Victorian charms sensitively updated and culminating in a contemporary open-plan, this renovated, open and airy four-to-five bedroom residence is the dream family home in a dream family location. Free standing, double brick and double fronted, this is a regal home set on an extraordinary 615 square metre (approx.) corner block that directly overlooks Caulfield Park and offers a hint of further potential.

Introduced by a formal garden, traditional verandah and ornate Victorian fretwork, the home opens grandly to a central arched hallway that flows under soaring ceilings, past a formal dining and a lounge, to the relaxed joy of its open-plan rear. Subway-tiled with stone benches and Miele appliances, the kitchen is timelessly elegant, while vast family / living extends outdoors to a partially paved and partially undercover backyard.

The first pair of traditional bedrooms are enormous and have been updated with impressive wrap-around built-in robes – one with a dresser and the other with a fireplace. Further highlights include a rear access double lock-up garage, a garden shed, plantation shutters, security alarm, ducted heating and split system air conditioning.

Treat the vast expanses and the playground of Caulfield Park as an extension of your backyard from this privileged position near terrific local cafes, plenty of dining and shopping on Glenferrie Road, Malvern Central Shopping Centre and several city-bound trams as well as trains from Malvern Railway Station that also offer easy access to a diversity of elite private schools.
