A remarkably rare prospect exists to acquire this grand c1910 Edwardian residence, a landmark example of Edwardian architecture in a prestige locale, minutes from Hampton Street, Hampton station and Hampton's iconic beach. Graceful dimensions, high ceilings, fireplaces, leadlights and fretwork punctuate throughout an interior that provides practical, flexible family spaces brimming with exquisite period charm. Currently arranged as five bedrooms with three bathrooms, the primary bedroom includes built in robes, a window seat, open fireplace and an ensuite, while the largest of the three first floor bedrooms opens to two balconies and could easily serve as a retreat if desired. On the ground floor, find formal sitting and dining rooms, a lounge room and study/home office in addition to the open plan family room. A fantastic alfresco area welcomes plenty of natural light, complete with an open fireplace, connecting through bifold doors from the interior living zones, making an amazing indoor outdoor space, perfect for larger scale entertaining, overlooking the spa and pool. A deck, lawn, terrace and landscaped garden surround the pool, creating a fabulous botanic outlook. Timber floors flow within the open plan family room featuring a gas fireplace, and a beautifully equipped cook's kitchen comes with a central stone island, ample cabinetry and a Falcon range cooker. A well designed butler's pantry/laundry also serves as a mudroom and features a study zone overlooking the garden. Features include views to the Bay and distant mountain ranges from the upper level, new carpet, extensive storage and cabinetry, a powder room, heating and cooling, 20,000L water bladders under the house and a lock up two car garage accessed from Gillies Street. The location is superb, walk to shops and cafes at the end of the street, Thomas Street Reserve and Playground, with zoning to Hampton Primary and Sandringham College, as well as excellent proximity to private schools including Haileybury and St Leonards.
