7 Bretonneux Square
Malvern East

Rich in period character and renovated for a contemporary style of living, this grand, solid brick, Spanish Mission-styled residence has been opened-up for a north-facing alfresco lifestyle while also offering endless hours around its in-ground swimming pool. Delightfully tucked-away in a quiet street where children can still play in safety, this is a stately three-to-four bedroom plus study home that is perfect for those seeking to lay long-term roots.

At its richly warm and welcoming heart, the home's open-plan kitchen / meals / living fills with streams of natural light as it merges granite benches with a black, heritage-styled Falcon oven, a Miele dishwasher and Heat & Glo gas log fireplace. Seamlessly, the space opens to the joy of an undercover deck that is cooled by a ceiling fan and adjacent to outdoor entertaining, while a formal lounge and a dining room - with open fireplace - offers additional living zones to growing families.

Families will also relish the flexibility of an upstairs rumpus room and a study - either of which could serve as a fourth bedroom - plus there are built-in robes in the main bedrooms, a walk-in pantry in the kitchen, driveway parking for two vehicles, an alarm system and central heating.

Walk easily to terrific local cafes and city-bound trams on Waverley Road, trains from Malvern East Railway Station, parkland along the Gardiners Creek and even more cafes, cosmopolitan dining and shopping at Koornang Road, plus you have Chadstone Shopping Centre just a few minutes down the road.
