Ah Malvern – just the thought of it is enough to conjure leafy streets, chic little cafes and brilliant boutiques – an ‘awesome suburb’ adored as much for its walk-everywhere convenience as for its proximity to the city, schools and nearby Unley Road. While grand family villas dominate the landscape here, Malvern is also home to some newer gems, designed to fill the before-and-after gap, and deliver the sort of low-maintenance ease that life in the fast lane demands.

Here, the nostalgic charm of the character terrace has been reworked and dropped into an easy-care 300m setting at the quieter end of Duthy Street, yet still only a stroll to the cafes and specialty shops prized by Adelaide’s gourmet set.

That double-height veranda is a charmer. It will light up your pleasure centre long before you register the practical, glide-in delights of your double garage with direct access to your living spaces. So safe, so easy!

Inside there’s not a hint of heritage, just crisp white spaces that flow… entry to lounge, lounge to living/dining, and living/dining to a private, shade-dappled courtyard at the rear, scooping up a laundry, powder room and a superb kitchen with a walk-in pantry on the way. Relaxing or entertaining, it’s a tried and tested formula that works!

That beautiful Manchurian Pear provides the perfect leafy canopy for outdoor entertaining, wrapping the rear of the home in its cooling shade and allowing blinds to be left up and french doors open, even on the hottest days.

Upstairs, the layout is just as good, with three bedrooms, (all with spacious robes), and two bathrooms providing exactly what’s needed for family and guests. While the main bathroom boasts the unexpected luxury of a corner spa bath, no home worth its salt is complete without a relaxing master suite, here delivered with stylish shuttered views over the verdant streetscape. A sparkling white ensuite, walk-in robe and french-door access to that gorgeous first-floor balcony finish the story on a high note.

Just the tonic for life in the fast lane, wouldn’t you say!
