13 Forster Avenue
Malvern East

Set on a generous north-west allotment of approximately 740sqm, this much-loved 1930s dual-level home extends well beyond its façade, offering exceptional family scale and a private poolside environment that adapts to any need with ease.

High ceilings and solid hardwood floors define the entry hall, leading into the formal living and dining areas, where an open fireplace sets the mood and a bay window frames the manicured front garden. A well-appointed central kitchen and light-filled meals area extend to a sun-drenched al-fresco domain, bordered by tropical palms and enhanced by an in-ground pool and crazy-paved terrace. A single-level, two-room studio with sauna functions as a fully self-contained guest house or sixth bedroom, incorporating a study/bedroom, living room, contemporary bathroom, powder room, and a spacious kitchenette. Separate from the main home with independent access via the garage, it offers an ideal retreat for teenagers, guests or those seeking a dedicated home workspace.

Inside, the main bedroom with en-suite and extensive robes is complemented by five further bedrooms with built-in storage, including two on the upper-level set around a third living area. Two additional modern bathrooms, a large laundry, and excellent internal storage support busy family living, while the expansive gardens provide plenty of space to play, unwind, and entertain.

Enviably situated close to Darling station, Terminus Village, Waverley Road trams, a range of schools and Gardiners Creek parkland and bike track, it includes ducted heating, split system heating/air conditioning, separate hot water for the studio, and a remote-controlled tandem garage with additional off-street parking. Land size: 736sqm (approx.)
