20 Gordon Grove, Malvern, Vic 3144

A free standing Victorian at first glance, a four bedroom, two bathroom family home on further investigation, this desirable residence sets the template for taking cottage origins and creating transformative spaces. The approach adopted by architect Wendy Nettle complements three downstairs bedrooms and a central bathroom with an upstairs main bedroom enjoying its own stylish ensuite. To match the allure of the accommodation, a generous dining area and huge rear living/dining domain are accompanied by two separate outdoor zones - one perfect for alfresco entertaining, the other featuring paved privacy, swimming pool and a garden shower. The kitchen's Miele and Smeg appliances, stone benches and ample storage further enhance a renovation of enduring excellence, with hydronic heating and air conditioning. Off street parking. Walking distance - a short stroll really - from Malvern Central, Glenferrie Road and Malvern station.
