In a well-maintained boutique complex, this elegant dual-level townhouse offers the proportions and separation you’d expect from a house, set within a low-maintenance footprint.

The front door opens into a tiled entry, leading to a generous living and dining room with big windows filtering in natural light and richly toned floorboards running underfoot. From here, the kitchen links easily through, keeping everything connected. Modern and well-fitted, it comes with a dishwasher and stainless-steel appliances, the dark cabinetry and crimson splashback adding personality. A casual meals area sits alongside for everyday use. Two sets of sliding doors open to the backyard, with established trees forming a canopy overhead, a grassed area, paving, built-in seating, and enough room to put a table out and lose track of the time. The aspect is north, which means sun from breakfast through to late afternoon.

A downstairs bathroom is the quiet hero of the floor plan, useful for guests, kids' friends or anyone keeping stairs in mind. A laundry and direct entry from the double garage are on the same level. Upstairs, three bedrooms with built-in robes share a bathroom with a shower and a separate toilet.

Solar panels keep running costs down, a split-system air conditioner serves the main living zone, and internal and external storerooms handle the overflow. Zoned for Caulfield Junior College and Glen Eira College, with Caulfield Park, trams, Malvern Station, Malvern Central and the Glenferrie Road shopping strip within walking distance.

A family home, a downsizer's reset or a long-term hold in a quiet, blue-chip pocket.
