52 Stanhope Street
Malvern

A magnificent example of Boom-style Italianate architecture, this illustrious solid brick Victorian residence's breathtaking original grandeur has been brilliantly merged with evocative designer style and refined elegance to create an unforgettable family domain where form and function are equally expressed.

A beautifully landscaped high walled garden introduces the majestic arched hallway flowing through to a spectacular sitting/media room with a marble gas fire, bay window and an ornate vaulted ceiling. Mirroring the original ceilings, a soaring vaulted ceiling with clerestory windows accentuates the scale of the palatial living and dining room featuring dark Oak floors and a gourmet kitchen appointed with Gaggenau appliances, stone benches and a butler's accessing a sunny herb garden. A series of bi-fold doors open the living areas to an expansive entertaining terrace and the picturesque private garden with solar heated pool, cabana, BBQ, fire-pit and in-ground trampoline. Beneath a second ornate vaulted ceiling, the glorious main bedroom with marble fireplace includes custom fitted robes, a designer en suite and a sensational bespoke study/home office opening to the garden. Three additional bedrooms with built in robes and marble fireplaces complement two stylish bathrooms, a retreat/playroom and a versatile studio with pull-down queen bed and desk opening to an outdoor room/gym.

In a coveted location just metres to Glenferrie Rd and High Street's shops and restaurants, Malvern station, Malvern Gardens and a range of schools, "Darjeeling" also includes hydronic heating, air-con in the rear, laundry, huge wine cellar and tasting room, ample storage, auto gate and garage.
