Malvern SA 5061

Auction Sat, 8th Aug - 2pm (USP)A solid, beautifully preserved and periodically updated example of the stone-fronted return verandah villa, the scene could not be better set for a bold reimagining worthy of its standing on some 650sqm on a wide, no-through street in prestigious Malvern, complete with approved plans and development approval for a remarkable architectural addition by DSD (plans and planning approval available on request).Three bedrooms, multiple living zones, a functional galley kitchen, cellar, updated flooring, soaring ceilings, ornate fireplaces, sash windows and hardly a blemish in sight make this enduring 1920s home big, bright, flexible, charming and eminently liveable as it is. Yet it is the approved vision beyond its original walls that gives big dreamers something truly vivid to pursue.Defined by its subtle Mediterranean and Palm Springs cues, DSD's vision pairs curved forms, arched openings, pale masonry and walls of glass with a proposed addition, pool, pool house, landscaped courtyard, carport and sports court. The grand idea is no longer left to imagination alone. It has been drawn, resolved and approved. You will never look back.Open the Door to: A beautifully preserved c1920 sandstone villa with a sweeping return verandah, stately street presence and the enduring proportions of one of Malvern's most admired architectural eras Approved architectural plans and development approval for a substantial DSD-designed addition, giving the next custodian an invaluable head start on a transformative family vision A proposed rear extension creating a striking yet sympathetic counterpoint to the original villa A resort-inspired outdoor setting envisioned with a swimming pool, pool house, broad lawn, landscaped courtyard and sports court, all arranged as a private world behind the heritage frontage A broad central hallway lined with polished timber floors, soaring ceilings and substantial period joinery, establishing the scale and character carried throughout the original home Three generously proportioned bedrooms, each with the soaring ceilings, large windows and decorative fireplaces expected of the era A formal front lounge with garden outlooks, beautiful natural light and the flexibility to serve as an elegant sitting room, home office or additional bedroom A separate dining room with original built-in cabinetry and enough space to host long lunches, crowded Christmas tables and everything in between A functional galley kitchen with extensive cabinetry, generous preparation space and direct access to the covered patio beyond A neatly updated bathroom supported by a dedicated laundry, separate storage room and valuable under-home cellar A wide driveway providing extensive off-street parking, with the approved scheme incorporating a new carport Established gardens and generous lawn offering immediate outdoor enjoyment, while the approved plans reveal how dramatically the rear could be elevated A substantial allotment offering the rare union of an eminently liveable heritage villa and an approved architectural future, removing much of the guesswork from a project of this ambitionWith the CBD close, the southern Parklands nearer still, and Duthy Street, Unley Road and King William Road each contributing their own mix of cafs, restaurants, boutiques and everyday essentials, this is Malvern at its most persuasive. Add prized public and private schooling, leafy streets, broad allotments, Unley Oval and timeless homes rarely relinquished, and the opportunity becomes bigger than the villa itself: a chance to preserve a beautiful past while bringing an already approved architectural vision vividly to life.CT -5725/743Council - UnleyZoning - Established NeighbourhoodYear Built -1920Land Size -650m approx.Total Built Area - 229m approx.
