Benefiting from its own street frontage onto Osborne Avenue, this townhouse is a surprising parcel of space and serenity that catches light all day long from east to west. A tantalising time capsule of retro style that's been lovingly maintained and updated, this home is easy to love while you make plans to reinvigorate later. (STCA)

Behind its own tall, gated fence, this cleverly configured home maximises space with a lounge and dining room across the ground floor flanked by two private courtyards, each with their own utility. Served by a homely retro kitchen with gas cooking, a separate laundry room and guest powder room. The first floor hosts a master bedroom with walk in robe as well as two further bedrooms separated by two bathrooms (one with tub). Also features effective in floor heating, RC/AC, a lock up garage plus space for one more with laneway access.

Walkable to Malvern Road village, Harold Holt Pool Centre, Malvern Library, the 72 tram and Gardiner Train Station for your ease. As well as being happily close to Gardiner Park or hop over the freeway to pick up the Gardiners Creek trail stringing together many more vast and verdant parklands and sporting clubs.
