1 Cawkwell Street, Malvern, Vic 3144

An impeccable standard of finish defines this luxuriously renovated home, originally built in the late 1800s by the Cawkwell family to house workers for the Cawkwell tile factory at the end of the street. Every detail has been considered in a full-scale transformation by Sync Architecture: high end finishes, soaring ceilings and delicate period-style features, underscored by swathes of natural light and oak timber floors. Newly tuckpointed brickwork, an iron lace verandah and tessellated tiling create the traditional introduction to a versatile floorplan with two living spaces and a retreat. A gas fireplace takes pride of place in the open plan living room where vast steel framed sliding doors recede to reveal a gorgeous terrace and outdoor kitchen, backdropped by imported Italian San Selmo bricks creating a sundrenched setting for entertaining. A beautifully equipped imported Italian kitchen from Euromobil is appointed with a suite of integrated Ilve appliances and features a central marble island. The main bedroom suite occupies the entire first floor, where a serene retreat is accompanied by the generous main bedroom, extensive walk-in imported Italian robes and a deluxe ensuite bathroom. Underfloor heating and ocean-blue vein-cut travertine confirm a sense of modern luxury. Two additional bedrooms feature imported Italian robes and share an additional designer bathroom complete with Arabascato Vagli marble, Signorino tiles and a gorgeous freestanding bath. The formal sitting room could serve as a fourth bedroom if desired. Includes imported Italian cabinetry throughout, venetian plaster, plantation shutters, dedicated laundry, zoned heating and cooling, automatic irrigation, ambient lighting and a brand-new lock up garage, completing this turnkey renovation that elevates luxury living to a new level.
