21A Manning Road Malvern East
James Home Rating: 804 | Grade A+ | March 2026
From the street you see Spanish Mission and assume you know the story. Walk inside and the script changes. Behind the period front sits a serious renovation on about 661 square metres with a north facing rear, and it lands well.
Daryl Pelchen designed it around 15 years ago and it still feels fresh. The spaces are confident, the flow is natural and the quality holds up. In the Gascoigne pocket, that combination matters.
If you have around $5m and a couple of kids, this sort of home asks a fairly direct question. Renovate yourself, or buy one where the thinking has already been done properly.
