44 Somers Avenue, Malvern

Enviably positioned in one of Malvern's most tightly-held streets, this meticulously built home combines stylish family living with elegant entertaining spaces, all set on a spacious 708sqm (approx.) block close to elite schooling. A private, European-style front courtyard introduces the superb residence, which was thoughtfully designed by the current owners in conjunction with luxury architectural design and construction company Seidler Group to prioritise views of the central sparkling pool for a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The heart of this stunning, contemporary home is undoubtedly the well-appointed gourmet kitchen which pairs granite benchtops and an oversized island bench with stainless-steel appliances including two Miele ovens, a five burner gas hob and two Bosch dishwashers. The practical amenity of this space is further enhanced by a walk-in pantry with abundant storage. The kitchen is adjacent to the sunny casual dining area which overlooks the solar-heated pool and is the perfect spot for breakfast or a morning coffee. At the rear of the ground floor is the informal living zone which benefits from a bar/kitchenette, built-in cabinetry and doors to both a poolside entertaining area with built-in BeefEater barbecue and a verdant rear courtyard. The versatile floorplan also features a large formal living and dining area at the front which is flooded with northern light and offers an attractive space for entertaining as well as further room for a family to spread out. Upstairs, the master suite is the main attraction with his-and-hers walk-in robes, a palatial ensuite with spa bath and French doors to a tranquil terrace with views over the lush front courtyard. Three further large bedrooms at the rear include one with its own ensuite while the other two are serviced by a pristine family bathroom. This floor also houses a well-appointed study with built-in cabinetry which could function as a fifth bedroom if required. Additional features of this private, low-maintenance sanctuary include a gym, sauna, powder room, laundry with drying room, abundant storage, video entry system, zoned heating and cooling, double garage, security alarm and irrigation system. Within walking distance of Malvern Road shopping, Glenferrie Road trams, Tooronga station, Menzies Reserve and near a range of schools including Lauriston Girls' School and Bialik College, this is a beautifully maintained lifestyle choice that is ready to move in and enjoy.
