The weatherboard Federation facade of this four-bedroom family home contains the original leadlight windows, and provides little evidence of the stunning contemporary residence beyond.

The elegant living space features dark polished floorboards and is bathed in natural sunlight. The picture window in the dining room provides a dramatic link with the beautiful landscaped gardens.

The sophisticated stone kitchen has a long island bench that cleverly extends through to the outside for BBQ entertaining.

Fabric panels and perforated ceiling panels enhance sound from the built-in Bose speakers.

The central living room is warmed by an open fireplace with marble surrounds, and contains a large central skylight that allows sunlight to pour in.

Two large glass sliding doors open the back of the residence to a slate-paved terrace and stunning garden, containing hedges of mature Lilly Pillies.

A security system, reverse cycle air-conditioning, porcelain tiled bathrooms, separate laundry, and a carport complete this family home.

The property is 638sqm, and is located in a prized precinct coveted for its heritage streetscape and proximity to Malvern Primary, Malvern Station and Glenferrie Road shops.
