7 Graves Lane, Malvern

Bespoke and brimming with natural light, this single-level sanctuary pairs designer chic with executive-calibre opulence, perched prestigiously on a highly sought-after Malvern hillside. Quietly removed from thoroughfares, lush greenery precedes a sumptuous interior domain, with sweeping lines, tasteful tones, and passive rays setting a tone of distinction and refinement. Engineered oak floors and twin skylights adorn a wonderfully wide hallway, introducing luxe accommodation en route to a stunning entertainer’s suite. Expanses of double-glazed glass frame calming floral sights, while ribbons of sunlight coat entwined living and dining zones. A gas-log fire makes for cosy evenings come wintertime, while a lavish kitchen’s integrated dishwasher and Liebherr fridge/freezer, Miele oven pair and gas top, and waterfall island prove ideal for the regular host. Bifold glass merges indoor and outdoor domains, with a heated pool and verdant garden enlivening a completely private backyard. A substantial side yard proves equally sublime for morning coffees after-hours drinks, and blue-sky barbecues, with direct side-gate access augmenting hospitality prowess. With two separate walk-in robes and a dual-basin ensuite all to itself, a magnificent main bedroom is joined by an in-vogue central bathroom and pair of large, robe-lined guest rooms, while other highlights of the home include floor-to-ceiling sheer curtains, security cameras, an alarm, video intercom, full-size laundry, garage, and extra driveway space. Lifestyle amenity is beyond compare, with Tooronga Station, Park, and Village, Sir Robert Menzies and Zelman Cowan sporting fields, Kooyong Village and Tennis Club, trams bound for the CBD and Glenferrie Road shopping hub, and the cafés, restaurants, and boutiques of Kooyong and Malvern Villages just steps away. The Monash Freeway streamlines city and peninsula commutes, while Lauriston, Loreto Mandeville, St Catherine’s, Scotch, and St Kevin’s headline the array of esteemed schools within easy reach.
