In one of Malvern's most significant period lined avenues, this elegant Edwardian home c.1906, enjoys a unique position, directly abutting Milton Gray Reserve's sweeping expanses of lush English style parkland. Such a rare and remarkable setting bestows a number of powerful privileges including uninterrupted northern rear light, extended family lifestyle flexibility and a wonderful sense of the surrounding community. This combined with the grace and character of its early proportions, the comfortable space of extended dimensions and the superb Jamie Clapham designed night lit garden makes this four bedroom home a special family offering indeed. Behind its enchanting tuck-pointed façade and return verandah, an ornate leadlight entry and arched reception hall introduce original rooms where soaring ceilings and tall double sash windows define two front bedrooms, a study, spotless family bathroom and elegant formal dining.
