71 Karma Avenue
Malvern East

An exquisitely charming brick Californian Bungalow, with its original 1920s character faithfully preserved, this much-loved two-three bedroom residence has been meticulously cared-for by the same family for over half a century. Set within lovingly maintained gardens on a magnificent 658 square metre allotment (approx.) and surrounded by proudly restored homes of the same era, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely classical home that allows you to bring some of your own inspiration if / when you choose.

Upon entry, rich timber paneling is complemented by polished timber floors and leadlight windows, to evoke a striking sense of grandeur as the home flows through its gas-heated lounge and dining to a traditional kitchen / meals that has been finished with a walk-in pantry and a new Bellini oven / cooktop. Meanwhile, the bedrooms are each generously proportioned - two with built-in robes, one with a bay window and another with a functioning fireplace - in this glorious home with ducted heating, split system air conditioning, a tandem double garage and plenty of driveway parking.

Simply wander down Waverley Road for some fine local cafes, dining and city-bound trams, plus you have East Malvern Railway Station nearby for even easier city commuting, as well as Gardiners Creek parkland and bike trails and a wonderful selection of elite private schools all within easy reach, while Koornang Road, Glenferrie Road, Malvern Central Shopping Centre and Chadstone Shopping Centre are each just a few minutes away.
