21 Bridge Street

Hampton VIC 3188

Cleverly accommodating with a ground-floor main bedroom-domain (encompassing a skylit ensuite, well-fitted walk-in robe and private parents retreat), this outstanding home zones kids over two levels in their own rear wing (and upstairs with a private bathroom and a sneaky bay-glimpse) and adds workspaces at every turn. From the main domain's refined reading-room/retreat to a hard-working home-office on its own level, an (easily overseen) family-zone, and (self-directed) bedroom workstations, there's an individual workspace to keep everyone connected.

Beautifully curated with jewel-toned carpets and shimmering sheer curtains for the original timber-panelled rooms, and architectural coved and skylit ceilings for the contemporary zones, the home's professionally designed interiors include a working chef's kitchen centred on a well-integrated cooking range, a dining bench topped by polished concrete that speaks of meals prepared and served with love, and textural Messmate floors that cushion the clatter of kids and pets.

Bespoke detailed at every turn, this timeless family residence offers endless storage; from a hardworking butler's pantry to whimsical gallery shelving, while bedrooms feature desks and a day-bed in addition to integrated robes and drawers. There's even lined and lit attic-storage to handle the overflow.

Centrally heated with individual reverse-cycle air-conditioning to most rooms and Bose speakers for principal living, every detail thoughtfully crafted here - from the subtle black tiling of the solar heated pool to full irrigation for the professionally designed and maintained landscape gardens, to the through-access of auto-garaging. Find a clever 'bike-hide at the backdoor, a bar-servery from the storage-shed, a sinuous wrought-iron gate replicating the lines of the entry leadlight to acknowledge this considered design has every aesthetic and every practicality covered.

Less than a dozen doors from the beachfront, this is period beauty for our times in a lifetime location; equally accessible to Sandringham's village life and Hampton Street's latte strip, zoned to take advantage of rejuvenated Sandringham Primary School, and equally accessible to the South Road Colleges and the central Brighton schools.
