1 Deakin Street, Malvern East, Vic 3145

On the edge of the Gascoigne Estate, this charming Edwardian offers an unsurpassed sense of country-in-the-city via beautifully retained period features and the blissful bucolic serenity of its enchanting garden surrounds. High ceilings, timber floors and colourful lead-lighting recall the charm and character of a bygone era, with the two bedrooms off the entrance corridor (master with built-in robes) serviced by a large bathroom (dual vanity & claw-foot bath). An original brick-surround fireplace takes centre stage in the bright living room and the quaint country-style kitchen with gas cooking, while the northwest-facing rear boasts a brick-paved alfresco area/pergola, goldfish pond and a striking array of verdant flora attracting an abundance of birdlife for idyllic soul-soothing relaxation. With plenty of scope for renovation/extension in line with family requirements (STCA) and including off-street parking for two cars, reverse-cycle heating/cooling and a combined laundry/extra WC, the remarkably restful ambiance of this gorgeous home belies its proximity to Central Park, Malvern Primary School, Malvern Railway Station, Glenferrie Road shops, and public transport.
