Positioned to perfection, a five-minute walk to the heart of Hampton Street, this original circa-1920s single level brick veneer home on a 632sqm* north facing block has been held by the same family for more than 50 years and will inspire much potential for renovation or redevelopment (STCA) to reimagine the Bayside dream in this family-focussed lifestyle neighbourhood.
Rich in the charm and character of a bygone age, the classic three-bedroom home is surrounded by well-established gardens including a productive vegetable garden and an assortment of fruit trees. A north facing study/sunroom introduces the generously proportioned and light-filled interiors, while the formal living and dining rooms are resplendent with art-deco era ceiling roses and an original fireplace. Glass sliding doors allow for flow or containment to the modernised rear section comprising a central kitchen, which is well-equipped with Westinghouse appliances, and there is a spacious family room with a glass sliding door to the paved rear patio and lush backyard. Two of the three bedrooms have built-in robes, including the light-filled master at the front of the home, and there is a central bathroom with built-in tub and separate shower, and a large laundry with an external access door. Additional features include gas ducted heating, split system heating/cooling, plenty of storage, and off-street driveway parking.
Located just 350 metres from Hampton Street, the home is ideally located to enjoy the restaurants, cafes and boutiques of this vibrant shopping strip. Hampton Station (Sandringham Line), Hampton Beach, Haileybury College, St Leonard's College and Hampton Primary School are in easy walking distance, with the Hampton Bayside Bowls Club and Castlefield Reserve also in the neighbourhood.
