Prestigiously positioned on the verge of the historic Maling Village, ‘Malo’ c1935 is a remarkable family residence that is sympathetically renovated and significantly extended blending original Art Deco elegance and high-end contemporary excellence. Resplendent amidst glorious garden from award-winning Inge Jabara Landscapes, ‘Malo’ with its magnificent presence on the iconic corner of Maling Road is enviably located near blue-chip amenities and a range of leading schools.

The serene garden with a three-tiered fountain and pond acts as a beautiful buffer to the brilliance within where a family can relax in a private and quiet, double-glazed setting accompanied by a stunning pool-side entertainment oasis. American Oak parquetry and leadlight French doors lead the way through a substantial two-level interior of superior quality enhanced by zoned ducted reverse-cycle heating/cooling and streams of natural northern light.

First is a versatile downstairs bedroom/study fitted with custom storage and a desk, before a grand main bedroom opening to a garden terrace that boasts an opulent dual-vanity ensuite and a fully-customized dressing room. A superb sitting room under a sumptuous ceiling is warmed by a gas log fireplace and flows to a family dining room. A chic family bathroom echoes the elegance of the ensuite while next along is a full-sized laundry.

Complemented by a built-in Eurocave double-door wine cabinet, the heart of the home is an entertainers’ delight where a living room with bifold doors and a fitted home theatre (Martin Logan speaker system, drop-down screen) providing an amazing cinematic experience join a sublime chef’s kitchen highlighted by a waterfall island breakfast bench with power-tower, high-end Miele appliances including steam oven, a dual sink with a Billi chill/boil tap and a butler’s pantry.

A bespoke solid American oak staircase ascends to a first-floor children’s wing offering a flexible lounge retreat and three additional deluxe bedrooms each with walk/built-in robes and ensuites. Absolute north-facing is a Vergola-covered entertainment deck with a BBQ/fridge kitchen located beside a self-cleaning gas/solar-heated swimming pool where year-round enjoyment is more than a promise, it’s guaranteed.

Peacefully and prominently nestled on a 918 sqm approx. corner allotment with automatic gate entry to an internal remote-control double garage, ‘Malo’ is a masterpiece of sheer perfection for the entire family in a highly sought-after location close to excellent schools, cafes, shops, Canterbury train station, the Camberwell Junction precinct and a wonderful array of tranquil parklands and walking trails.
