Rich with the charm and elegance of its Edwardian roots, this enlivened classic promises a lifestyle of turn-key family comfort, pairing practical expanse with entertainment prowess mere steps from the area's heartland in Hampton Street.
Its surrounds loved for their wide, low-traffic streets, thriving foliage, family atmosphere, and preserved period architecture, the home itself lies beyond lush gardens and an endearing façade, with soaring ceilings, Baltic pine floors, leadlight bay windows, and ornate fretwork headlining a suite of old-world details. Winding to reach the plan's focal point, an inviting hallway introduces a peaceful lounge and office en route to a brilliant hospitality space, with family, meals, and kitchen areas spilling into an outdoor domain kept completely private by plant life. The vibrant purple hues of a long-standing Wisteria make warm-weather entertaining a delight, gifting shade to a large gazebo and framing garden outlooks from an alfresco deck. Gas-heated, self-cleaning, and WiFi-controlled to remain low-maintenance and usable across the year, a substantial pool/spa is the yard's centrepiece, accompanied by plenty of kids' play space and a shed with powder room equally functional as a workshop or pool house.
With ample room for a family to grow into, a considerable lower master features floor-to-ceiling storage and an oversized ensuite with a bath, shower, and marble vanity, while a bright second storey sees three further bedrooms joined by impressive robe space, a smart central bathroom, and broad balcony taking in sweeping vistas. Instantly enjoyable while offering to refresh and personalise in years to come, highlights include a sizeable dining room, living-room wood fire, full-size laundry, carport for two large cars, ducted heating, split-system cooling, ceiling fans, excellent roof storage, bathtubs to both bathrooms, granite benches and AEG/Asko appliances to the kitchen, and an array of backyard fruit trees.
In the most adored of family enclaves with Thomas Street Reserve, Sandringham Primary and College (zoned), city-bound trains, and Hampton Street's selection of bars, cafés, restaurants, and boutiques just metres away, it's no more than moments to Bayside's leading independent schools, Sandbelt golf courses, the Bay Trail, and pristine sands of the Hampton foreshore.
