Elegant Edwardian character has been tastefully updated for contemporary family life and poolside alfresco entertaining in this superbly renovated, four bedroom plus office residence, peacefully nestled in a premium tree-lined pocket between Glenferrie Road and Central Park.

Beyond a traditional veranda-wrapped entrance and exquisite gardens, this character-rich home opens to reveal a grand, arched hallway under soaring ceilings and with Baltic Pine under foot before flowing to a period sensitive yet contemporary rear. Here, a family sized kitchen with stone benches and a 900 mm Ilve oven / cooktop is designed to oversee dining / living with seamless connection to paved outdoor living while providing the perfect vantage point over the home's sublime, solar-heated in-ground swimming pool.

Each of the bedrooms is impressively sized and appointed with built-in storage - two also with divine window seats and another with a built-in desk - plus there are two attractive bathrooms and a generous laundry. Additional highlights include a coveted rear access parking space amidst the easy-care backyard, as well as ducted heating, split system air conditioning and a security alarm.

Walk easily to Glenferrie Road's popular cafe strip, restaurant and trains, as well as city-bound Wattletree Road trams, trains from Malvern Railway Station and plenty of shopping at Malvern Central Shopping Centre.
