7-9 Bateman Street, Hampton, Vic 3188

The future is bright for this grand-scale estate, where a cherished Cape Cod home, tennis court and indoor pool sit on an impressive double block of 1368sqm (approx.) of land. Designed to make the most of its vast 31.5 metre frontage, 7-9 Bateman Street is home to an updated 1940s four-bedroom home, a north-south tennis court, large poolside pavilion/billiards/recreation/guest retreat with a bathroom, bar and sauna, and a beautiful garden. Families will love the sense of space, the sprawling grounds full of trees to climb and borders of greenery, and the highly convenient location close to the exclusive South Road colleges - Haileybury and St Leonard's. Owned by one family since 1955, now it can be yours to add a contemporary edge, redevelop or make further use of the existing two titles it currently sits on (STCA). The house impresses with refined street appeal and a pristine interior, three living and dining zones, a renovated Miele and Neff kitchen, and true-to-the-era dormer windows and diamond leadlight. It is ready to move in and appreciate having bedrooms on two levels, ensuite access for three bedrooms, hydronic heating and air conditioners, and garage, carport and on-site parking behind remote-control gates. The poolside pavilion is the ultimate zoned multi-purpose space for everyday relaxing, setting up a gym and games room, or creating self-contained accommodation. It's rare to find a private paradise with so much beautifully landscaped space, an indoor solar-heated pool that opens up for summer swimming, and a courtside terrace perfect for sunset drinks and barbecues. The family friendly location is minutes from Hampton Street, trains and the beach.
