1025 Dandenong Road, Malvern East, VIC, 3145, Australia

Peacefully set behind a lush canopy of established trees and with a low profile, service road frontage that creates a surprisingly quiet sense of sanctuary, this faultlessly renovated California Bungalow merges its well-preserved circa-1920s period character with a meticulous, modern, open-plan and alfresco flow. Offered for the first time in 30 years and just a gentle stroll from Ardrie Park – with a coveted Malvern east address - the home presents flexible four bedrooms plus a huge home office, all of which is securely gated, blissfully tranquil and certain to exceed expectations.

Introduced via a beautifully preserved period façade, the home opens to reveal the leadlight windows, Baltic Pine flooring, timber panel work and open fireplaces that endear us to its era, while also captivating with a remarkable sense of depth and proportion. Underpinned by quality, a contemporary, stone-topped kitchen / meals with stainless steel appliances is seamlessly connected, via concertina doors, to a north-facing deck that is sure to delight entertainers.

Offering remarkable flexibility, a rear family / living room opens to another north facing, sundrenched entertainers’ deck and is adjacent to a large laundry that once was an additional kitchen, creating the added appeal of a potentially independently accessed second living zone to suit multigenerational family life. Meanwhile, at the front of the home, warmed by open fireplaces, the traditional lounge and dining rooms are particularly rich in character.

The main bedroom has been transformed into a wonderful parental indulgence with its own ensuite and a huge dressing room that can readily be reinstated as a fourth bedroom if preferred, while added highlights include a brilliant home office crafted by Kinsman Kitchens – of ‘The Block’ – as well as a lock-up garage with secure driveway for an additional four vehicles, a second bathroom, a powder room, three garden sheds, split system heating and air conditioning.

Perfectly situated for leisurely strolls through both Ardrie and Central Parks, as well as a coffee at one of their surrounding cafes, the home is merely moments from Koornang Road’s shopping and dining scene, Waverley Road trams and trains from Caulfield Railway Station, whilst Chadstone Shopping Centre is also just a few minutes away.
