17 Manning Road, Malvern East – Crafted Legacy, Contemporary Clarity

17 Manning Road sits in the Gascoigne estate, but it belongs to a rarer tier — the kind of home that defines the street, not just sits on it. On 1,310 sqm of heritage-zoned land, it wears its period shell with clarity and grace. Edwardian? Arts and Crafts? Federation? The precise label’s less important than the execution — and here, it’s been done at a level few attempt, let alone finish. Ceilings, floorboards, architraves: every detail lands. This is not just a façade renovation. It’s a full recalibration of what period prestige can look and feel like.

The plan delivers substance as well as style. Master suite at the front. Study and another bedroom beside. Upstairs, three bedrooms tuck cleverly into the ceilinglines — evocative of Barwon Heads charm, but executed to city standards. The cellar is expansive. The garage — a rare multi-level, mechanical structure — holds up to eight cars with ease. Connection is where the home quietly excels: between living and non-living zones, between inside and out. There’s rhythm here, not just square metreage. The pool, the garden, the movement through the home — it all feels calm, considered, complete.

This isn’t just a period home for the period buyer. It will attract modern families who want architectural character without compromising liveability. Few properties north of $10m justify that interest across styles — this one might. If you’re already active at this level, it’s worth comparing this to what isn’t on realestate.com.au. That’s where we often add value — with contrast, not just commentary.
