Inside Story visits Malvern

433 Glenferrie Road

Price range $15 million-plus

The entrance hall of 433 Glenferrie Road has an undulating velvet wall.

Even at the highest end of the market, buyers don’t see plush touch-this every day.

With eight bedrooms, three levels and room to move, this $15 million-plus property is the ultimate leafy east compound.

A light void stretching three storeys houses palm trees, creating a terrarium of a whole new level.

The property was designed by architect Allan Powell, who envisaged a home with distinct living quarters that are interconnected.

Naturally, there is a lift between the floors. In these upper ranks of the market, a buyer would expect nothing less.

The master bedroom has a double-sided walk-in robe – thoughtful, given its proximity to some of Melbourne’s finest fashion stores in neighbouring Armadale.

Add to the sweeping floor plan garaging  for 12 cars, a pool with water jets, LED lighting and spa, a cinema room, wine cellar and gym.

Rolling out the red carpet at this home is Kay & Burton’s Ross Savas, by private sale.
