2 Glenbrook Avenue, Malvern East, Vic 3145

Nestled among truly eminent surrounds with Hedgeley Dene Gardens just a handful of doors away, this ‘40s prize and considerable holding offer stirring scope to move in and enjoy, reimagine over time, or start anew with a luxury abode to rival the area’s finest (STCA).

Framed by the converging foliage that sees its street so widely adored, an elevated, charismatic, and altogether alluring façade reveals an interior where classic and contemporary gracefully entwine. Ideal for even the largest of families, three distinct storeys give ample room for everyone to claim their own space, with a ground-floor bedroom/office and powder room a brilliant complement to accommodation above. Four sizeable bedrooms provide extensive storage and leafy outlooks, accompanied by an evocative main bathroom dubbed the ‘Hollywood Bathroom’ courtesy of its era-typical pinks and blues, period bath and basin, and intricate, textured-glass screens.

Flanked by brilliantly broad living and dining rooms, a well-appointed kitchen provides parents a complete view of thriving gardens and a substantial backyard; perfect for kids to run around, kick a ball, and burn off excess energy. Benefiting from private access via a wide driveway, a vast lower level’s sixth bedroom/lounge area, dining/games room, bathroom, study zone, and wine cellar with kitchenette prove an exceptional base for visitors, older children, or an au pair, while the home’s long list of further highlights includes hardwood floors, ducted heating and cooling, a lower-level gas fire, monitored alarm, scenic top-floor balcony, full-size laundry, double garage, and lush array of flora headlined by Weeping Cherry, Liquidambar, and Japanese Maple trees.

A rare opportunity of such stature, prominence, and potential on a cherished, family-friendly street, it’s only footsteps to Central Park Village, tranquil gardens and walking trails, and acclaimed schools in Lloyd Street Primary (zoned), St Mary’s Primary, Caulfield Grammar, Sacre Coeur, and Korowa, while Wattletree Road trams, Darling and Glen Iris Stations, and the Monash Freeway combine to streamline city commutes.
