Believed to be the original farmhouse in the area, this substantial 1890s three bedroom Victorian home with self-contained unit and a separate garden studio has been sold by Adam Cashmore and Sophie Su of Kay & Burton following a standard 4-week campaign.

Adam Cashmore told WILLIAMS MEDIA the home was very popular, despite a main road position. There were 37 in-person inspections held prior to the sale, with 4 buyers inspecting on multiple occasions.

The sale price was undisclosed, within the $1,800,000 - $1,900,000 guide.

“Built in the 1890’s, this was one of the original farm houses in the area and the heritage overlay eliminated developers from showing interest,” Adam explained to WILLIAMS MEDIA. 

“The established gardens and entertaining areas at the rear of the property created an oasis, and over the campaign buyers commented on the country feel the entire property had.”

“The main group of interested parties were local families looking to upgrade and because of the single level nature of the home we had interest from downsizers still wanting a garden.”

Set on 888 sqm (approx.) in a glorious garden oasis, with lush lawn, herb garden, an avocado and orange tree, olives and magnolias, and impressive indoor-outdoor entertaining areas.

The red brick home is one of the last remaining 19th century homes in Malvern East and boasts heritage details such as a leadlight-framed entry, high decorative ceilings, open fireplaces, and timber floorboards.

A wide central hall leads past three robed bedrooms, a spacious and stylish bathroom, and powder room to the expansive living/dining room overlooking the garden. Glass doors open the rear of the home to a deck and private, leafy west facing garden with a series of garden rooms, and superb covered dining pavilion adorned with a grape vine. The garden also houses a studio, with original leadlight windows, thought to be a coach house, and a one-bedroom, one bathroom, light-filled, self-contained unit with kitchenette.

“The Malvern east area still remains popular with buyers given its proximity to parks, quality schools, transport, shops and cafes. Prices remain very strong for family homes in the area primarily due to the lack of stock and the abundance of qualified buyers eager to gain a foothold in the suburb,” Adam told WILLIAMS MEDIA. 

“It is not uncommon for us to see 30-40 groups inspecting homes on weekends.”
