At 17 McKinley Avenue, Malvern, is a property with a facade that belies what's behind.
Architect Geoff Challis is behind the remarkable renovation.
The old-world street appeal melds with the contemporary rear addition. The open kitchen and family space, with soaring ceilings and expanses of shimmering glass, facing a swimming pool and deck is as grand as extensions come.
A full height recessed door partitions the tradition front rooms of the original home from cutting-edge add-on.
The home has five bedrooms, including a master which is positioned at the front of the house for privacy.
A children's wing is found at the top of suspended stairs, with three bedrooms, a bathroom and a rumpus room with balcony overlooking the garden occupying the top floor. Another ground floor bedroom, a media room and a study add to the generous amount of space.
The Edwardian has been lovingly restored, with open fireplaces in the master bedroom and study as a flourish.
Marshall White agent Sally O'Connell is sending the home to auction on July 30.
