Arguably the most beautiful original home, absolutely one of the best located, this might be the last great renovation of blue-chip Hampton. A notable find amongst the grand Edwardians of this period-perfect streetscape, this significant residence provides a unique opportunity to take your place in Hampton history. Grandly proportioned, extravagantly detailed and impeccably maintained, this four bedroom, two bathroom, dual living home has been safeguarded by three generations over 70 years. Now it’s ready to fulfil its destiny as a landmark family home for today. A breathtaking example of early Edwardian architecture graced with lavish leadlight including a sparkling entry, the home features intricate internal fretwork above a beautiful box-bay window and sinuous plasterwork wrapping high ceilings. With pressed-metal doors enclosing grandly proportioned rooms, elaborate mantles for three of the four fine fireplaces and a 2m wide hall at the centre of it all, this is a richly ornamented canvas for a future masterpiece. Updated with a contemporary floorplan featuring a grand formal room, open plan living with a modern kitchen, and a second kitchen area (right where a future ensuite should go), this centrally heated home is immensely liveable with versatile bathrooms, a large well-fitted laundry and an abundance of auto-gated parking in addition to a well-built huge rear auto-garage with WC. Nestled in auto-irrigated approx 676sqm north-west facing landscaped grounds with a covered outdoor area to enjoy today and abundant space to extend tomorrow, this is your moment to make history in Hampton’s most historic enclave – a stroll down the hill to Hampton St and the station, a walk to the bay and Sandringham Yacht Club and within easy reach of in-demand primary and private schools.
