6/680 Malvern Road, Prahran

Brilliantly positioned in a Hawksburn Village setting rich with shopping, cuisine, and nightlife, this elevated gem pairs the turn-key comfort of a comprehensive renovation with art-deco class and charm. Taking in all-day sunlight and sweeping sights, the home hides quietly and securely among a boutique block of only eight, with accommodation in two impressive bedrooms and a modernised bathroom ample for starters, professionals or those looking for a city retreat. Exposed brickwork, high ceilings, and hardwood floors augment period allure, while a fully functioning, original fireplace enlivens cozy nights in a considerable lounge/dining room. Accessing a covered balcony area with views across leafy surrounds, a hospitality-minded kitchen showcases in-vogue tones and first-rate features, with a gas stove, electric oven, and integrated dishwasher joined by soft-close cabinetry and trendy splashback tiles. A lock-and-leave retreat built to a standard simply not seen today, further highlights include substantial attic storage, panel heaters, an intercom/security entrance, walk-in rain shower, and zoning for respected Toorak Primary, Prahran High, and Melbourne Girls’ College. Lifestyle appeal is truly unmatched, with the home placed just footsteps from Orrong and Toorak Park’s open expanses, sporting facilities, and off-leash dog area, quaint-yet-vibrant Beatty Avenue, ever-fashionable High Street, Toorak Station, and trams bound for bustling Glenferrie Road, Camberwell Junction and Market, the Botanic Gardens, Arts Centre, and CBD.
