10 Deakin Street,
Malvern East

Period-perfect and perfectly positioned on the edge of the Gascoigne Estate, this freestanding Victorian beauty offers comfort for today, potential for tomorrow and the location of a lifetime. Steps to local shops and a skip to the tram amongst the area’s finest period homes, this rose-bordered, iron-laced Victorian offers a well-proportioned two bedroom floorplan with a wide arched hallway extending past the oversized bedrooms before opening up in sun-filled style with a gracious lounge and a generous dining or casual area around a skylit central kitchen.

Ready for modern life with a quality bathroom with private WC, a separate laundry and a handy step-in pantry, this centrally heated home is rich with period detail. Unfolding beyond a pretty veranda and leadlight entry, this inviting Victorian has lofty corniced ceilings, warm Baltic Pine boards, and beautiful tiled, timber-mantled fireplaces for each bedroom.

But it's the wealth of potential that really sets this freestanding home apart. Wrapped by generous open space in approx 290sqm there's endless scope to upgrade, extend and capitalise further on this surprisingly deep land. There’s even the scope for garaging (and more) from a rear right-of-way.

With the Wattletree Rd tram at the end of the street and the vibrant shopping strip at the Tooronga Rd intersection within steps, this pristine Victorian streetscape is a rare find amongst the grand Edwardian surrounds of the Gascoigne Estate. Just half a dozen blocks to the parklands, shopping and restaurants at Central Park, this fine freestanding home is walking distance to Malvern Central, Glenferrie Road and Glenferrie stations, and within easy reach of the eastern suburban private schools in the sought-after Malvern Primary School Zone.
