Malvern East is the kind of neighbourhood that earns its reputation, through considered streets, established trees, and homes that match this character. Sycamore Street is one of those considered streets. And 50 Sycamore, a boutique collection of three-bedroom townhomes by Buxton Projects, has been designed to honour exactly that.

Conceived by architect Telha Clarke with gardens by John Patrick Landscape Architects, the development takes its cues from the surrounding landscape and elevates it. Cascading greenery trails across the façade, soft-rendered forms meet brushed-metal detailing, and an earthy palette grounds the streetscape without demanding attention. The result is a development that feels as if it were always meant to be there.

“Opportunities to own a home designed by Telha Clarke are rare,” said Stephen Bowtell, director of Jellis Craig Projects.

“At 50 Sycamore, buyers have the privilege of securing a residence shaped by one of Australia’s most respected architectural practices.”

Design that earns its keep

Inside, the planning is practical in a way that matters. Three-bedroom floorplans are designed with multiple zones, so you have separate spaces for working from home, entertaining, and retreat, with dedicated study areas built in rather than added as an afterthought.

Double-glazed sliding doors open each home to private landscaped gardens, and natural light is a consistent thread throughout.

“The ambition for 50 Sycamore was to prioritise long-term liveability and design integrity over overt luxury,” says Tom Small, development director at Buxton Projects.

“Each individual residence accommodates the necessities of daily life while factoring in evolving household needs.”

That intention reads in the finishes: marble benchtops, warm timber joinery, large-format vanities, significant storage, and a neutral palette that wears well over time.

Where green isn’t just an aesthetic

Sustainability at 50 Sycamore isn’t simply a checklist. Instead, it’s woven into the fabric of the development.

Solar panels and water tanks are standard across all homes, and the all-electric design removes gas from the equation entirely. Cross-ventilation and day-round access to natural light reduce reliance on artificial heating and cooling, while durable materials are chosen with longevity in mind.

Above ground, John Patrick’s landscape design does more than soften the streetscape. Native tree canopies anchor the private gardens and trailing greenery cascades across the façade, meaning greenery is never far from view.

Five minutes from everything that matters

Malvern East’s liveability credentials are well established, and 50 Sycamore is positioned to make the most of them. Waverley Park is directly opposite. The Gardiners Creek Trail is within walking distance. East Malvern Station, Monash Freeway access, and leading schools are all close, and Chadstone Shopping Centre is five minutes away.

“A commitment to flexibility is what elevates this townhouse living experience, encouraging long-term living over short-term use,” said Josh Buxton, founder and director of Buxton Projects.

For families, downsizers, and professional couples looking for a home that works as hard as the neighbourhood around it, 50 Sycamore makes a considered case.

The exclusive pre-release is now available – the first opportunity to secure your place here.
