An award-winning Malvern house designed by noted architect Robert Grodski as his family home now has grand plans for a $5.9m-$6.4m sale.

The four-bedroom home at 69A Elizabeth St features a 14m-long heated indoor swimming pool set below a temperature-controlled room’s glass roof.

Grodski is known for residential and commercial projects across Melbourne — including the restoration and renovation of a circa-1850s house named Nithsdale in St Kilda St, Brighton, which former Coles meat division chief Peter Scott sold for $5.4m in 2007.

In the 1990s, Grodski worked on the restoration of Swanston St’s Capitol Theatre and Capitol Arcade when fashion retailer Portmans’s ex-flagship store was moving into the building.

Kay & Burton Stonnington’s Adam Cashmore said Grodski built the Malvern three-level house in the late 1980s.

He and his wife are now downsizing after raising their children at the address.

“It has been a great house to bring their kids up in, this is like his third child, he created it and it’s a hard one to leave,” Mr Cashmore said.

“It has been beautifully maintained.”

The indoor pool is 14m long.

Shortly after it was constructed, the house won an award for best new residential building from the then-City of Malvern (now Stonnington Council).

The double-brick residence was designed to let in plenty of natural light and offer garden views from most rooms, including from the formal meals area and family room’s art deco-inspired wall of curved windows.

Concrete slab flooring, along with granite and timber veneers, features throughout the home which backs onto Robert Menzies Reserve.

The house is set on a 882sq m block.

The formal living room contains an open fireplace, while the kitchen is equipped with granite benchtops, Gaggenau and Miele appliances including two ovens, an electric barbecue and a pantry.

Upstairs, the main bedroom suite offers a deck, walk-in wardrobe and spa ensuite.

“There are two staircases, you can have the parent’s domain or retreat upstairs and the childrens’ downstairs,” Mr Cashmore said.

The front door welcomes guests.

The walls and shelves were designed to have plenty of room to showcase art works.

Other highlights include the powder room, a laundry, workshop and triple basement garage with internal entry.

Mr Cashmore said the property’s proximity to schools, including Scotch College, St Kevin’s, Lauriston Girl’s School and Bialik College had made it popular with family buyers.

The house will be privately auctioned on June 6.
