31 Soudan Street, Malvern

In one of Malvern's most tightly held, tree-lined pockets, rests this magnificent family home, reminiscent of the Federation era. Determined to leave a lasting impression for all the right reasons, the sympathetically renovated and extended, single level layout features clever zoning, ornate soaring ceilings, lead-lighting, decorative fireplaces, timber flooring and banks of windows showcasing vistas to the landscaped gardens, all complementing the character of this captivating home. Preceded by the wrap-around verandah, an idyllic spot for a morning coffee from Claremont Avenue which is merely footsteps away, a traditional entrance adorned with fretwork leads to the first of the living areas, an elegant lounge room overlooking the meticulous front garden, providing a wonderful place to relax and unwind. The main suite is huge with a sophisticated ensuite and is accompanied by two spacious bedrooms with private outlooks; all thoughtfully zoned at the front of the home. Further on, a separate living room with a leafy vista and an ambient fireplace, connects to the open plan entertaining domain, comprising a sleekly renovated kitchen with stainless steel benchtops and premium appliances flowing to the generous dining precinct. Seamless integration of the indoors and outdoors is met via a twin set of glass sliders, leading to the extensive alfresco deck, perfect for all-seasons with an automated louvre roof. The supremely private garden surrounds have been impeccably landscaped and are brilliantly low maintenance. A fully fitted home office is large enough for use as a bedroom and a renovated family bathroom with a sumptuous spa bath delivers a luxurious touch. The separate laundry with external access plus attributes such as integrated floor to ceiling storage, hydronic heating, plantation shutters, a retractable outdoor awning and off-street parking for two cars are sure to impress. An array of leading schools are nearby with extensive options of both public and private, primary and secondary. Glenferrie Road and Malvern Central shops, cafes and amenities are a quick stroll and Malvern Station, and trams are all within walking distance.
