The one you've had your eye on is finally ready for your vision. Arguably the last, great renovation or redevelop opportunity in the Hampton St precinct, this approx 988sqm property comes with a substantial Californian Bungalow, a sweeping 18m frontage...and multiple possibilities.
A superior example of the time with a wide-verandaed, bay-windowed facade opening through double doors to a traditional three bedroom, 1.5 floorplan, this beautifully solid home is set to inspire with grand formal rooms, lofty decorative ceilings and finely detailed fireplaces. There's even a walk-down cellar to take the inspiration to the next level.
Updated with a modern kitchen (with older-style Miele appliances), a classic bathroom and a second WC beyond a well-fitted laundry, this centrally-heated and alarmed home is exceptionally solid, impeccably maintained and perfectly sited in well-structured gardens - complete with a vintage garage and glasshouse in place...and endless potential to update, extend, and return to its place as one of the area's finest homes.
Alternatively, see the promise in this prime parcel of Bayside land and start afresh with one the finest homes of this next generation. With room for gardens, garaging, a pool and, perhaps, a tennis-court, this exceptional property is set to be a modern-day landmark...or the place for a benchmark multi-home development (Subject to Council Approval).
Whatever the plan, this premier position where Hampton St's latte living meets the Castlefield family lifestyle precinct is ready to reward. No more than 350m to the shopping strip and Hampton Primary School, there's the South Rd colleges (Haileybury and St Leonard's) within a few blocks, the station and beach within a walk and Brighton's cafe society and private schools within minutes.
