5 Sorrett Avenue, Malvern VIC 3144

Cherished by the same family for 46 years, this 4-bedroom 3.5-bathroom Victorian (c. 1890) captivates with its grand-scale charm, contemporary family appeal and gorgeous garden setting. Beneath soaring 3.7m ceilings, classically oversized formal dining, living and sitting rooms make for an indelible introduction, with timber floors, exquisite leadlighting and open fireplaces recalling the timeless character of a bygone era. Light-filled open-plan family/meals areas (gas fireplace) are complemented by a Miele/Bosch-equipped kitchen that incorporates an integrated dishwasher, wine fridge and a char grill into its contemporary design, while desirable northerly orientation ensures the leafy landscaped backyard oasis is awash with sunshine throughout the day. Upstairs, all four bedrooms have built-in robes, the generous master boasting a renovated ensuite and access to a wraparound balcony overlooking the tree-lined street. Secure undercover off-street parking for two cars, air conditioning, ground-floor bathroom/laundry, guest w/c and garden/storage sheds complete a rare proposition for its period allure, impressive proportions and prestigious position within the tightly-held Sorrett Avenue cul-de-sac, close to leading schools, public transport, Malvern Gardens plus the café/shopping precincts of High St and Glenferrie Rd.
