In one of Hampton’s most tightly held pockets, this remarkable 1920s residence once showcased in Vogue Magazine delivers a rare blend of heritage character and modern family living, all just moments from the beach, shops and schools.
Behind its striking façade of stained glass and period columns, a wide hallway introduces the home’s original craftsmanship and timeless charm. Four generous bedrooms are enhanced with ornate plaster ceilings, built-in robes, custom desks and tuck-pointed fireplaces, while the main bedroom enjoys a beautiful feature window seat.
Multiple living zones provide flexibility for the whole family. A separate lounge with a gas fire creates a cosy retreat, while the enormous open-plan kitchen and family room form the heart of the home. Here, entertaining is effortless with a huge stainless-steel island bench, Carrara marble splashbacks, European appliances, bespoke Beech cabinetry and abundant storage.
French doors connect the interiors to a north-west facing outdoor haven. A sun-drenched deck steps down to landscaped gardens with a solar-heated, salt-chlorinated pool and built-in BBQ the perfect backdrop for summer gatherings. The front garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with native plantings, enhancing the home’s street appeal.
Every detail has been considered for comfort and convenience: Brushbox timber floors, custom NZ wool carpets, Bose surround sound, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, plantation shutters, automated external blinds and irrigated gardens. Practical inclusions such as bike storage, shedding and off-street parking for two cars complete the picture.
This coveted address is unbeatable just steps to Hampton Street’s cafés, restaurants and boutiques, a short walk to the train and beach, and within easy reach of leading schools including Haileybury, St Leonard’s, Hampton Primary and St Mary’s.
More than a home, this is a piece of Hampton’s architectural heritage ready to be cherished by its next custodian.
