36 Highett Road, Hampton, Vic 3188

Beautifully elevated beyond north-facing gardens and privacy-enhancing walls, this up to four bedroom, 2.5 bathroom, dual-suite period beauty is a superior example of its time ... with an architecturally added blend of modern design and comfort. Centred on expansive living-dining opening to a sail-shaded rear decked courtyard, this exceptional design is perfect for today with a choice of suites front and rear (one with ‘secret’ ensuite access, the other with a private ensuite) ...and a versatile home-office (or fourth bedroom) in a stylish garden studio.

Sophisticated by design with a prestige Fisher and Paykel appliance kitchen beyond a deep dining-bench, this luxe renovation stars bespoke-fitted bathrooms (each with feature tiling, frameless screening and floating vanities ), a bonus two-way powder-room, and custom cabinetry including streamlined robes.

Rich with period detail including high-decorative ceilings, matte-finished hardwood floors and lavish leadlight, there’s a wealth of contemporary comfort with individual reverse-cycle climate control to every room (and the garden studio) plus a decorative electric-fireplace, the security of an alarm, Ring video-intercom and CCTV. There’s also endless up-to-the- minute detail including airy sheer curtains and sculptural designer fittings from Lucretia Lighting!

Set in easy-care landscaped surrounds with endless north sun in entertainers’ gardens, there’s a paved area to entertain, two dedicated spaces to park, and a bonus storage area for bikes, boards and all the bits. Even this prized Hampton address adds to the carefree living with the newly-named Shane Warne Oval around the corner, the bay within a jog and Hampton’s latte strip and Sandringham’s village (and their stations) in equally easy reach.
