11 The Rialto West Malvern East, VIC 3145

Positioned in a tightly held cul-de-sac, this architect-designed five-bedroom residence is a study in what happens when period character and considered contemporary living are built to coexist.

A travertine-paved porch and leadlight entry introduce interiors of remarkable character, where a refined formal lounge and dining domain is anchored by a period-style fireplace and a striking indoor fernery with fish pond. Beyond French doors, a guest bedroom with ensuite, fireplace and study access offers exceptional flexibility for visitors, extended family or working from home.

A central staircase rises to the vast open-plan living/dining/kitchen area, warmed by a gas log fireplace. Granite benchtops, 900mm Ascot cooker, two-pack cabinetry and butler's pantry elevate the kitchen, while French doors open to an all-seasons alfresco primed for large-scale gatherings.

Upstairs, four generous bedrooms (main with walk-in robe, ensuite and private balcony) are privately zoned, while the three upstairs bathrooms are finished with Italian travertine tiles, marble benchtops, heated towel rails and custom backlit mirror frames (family bathroom with travertine soaker bath).

Decorative ceilings, marble fireplaces, in-built ceiling speakers, solar panels, camera surveillance, alarm, extensive underhouse storage and off-street parking for up to six cars are further highlights a home of rare character and family calibre.

Living directly opposite OT Flight Reserve parkland and moments from the Scotchman's Creek Trail and Waverley Oval promotes an active family lifestyle, while swift access to East Malvern train station, Chadstone Shopping Centre, Darling Village cafes and elite private schools (Sacre Coeur, Korowa Anglican Girls' School, Caulfield Grammar (Malvern Campus), De La Salle College and Kilvington Grammar) adds further family appeal.
