24 Orlando Street

Hampton VIC 3188

Beyond a charming picket fence and within lush landscaped gardens, Rose Cottage, an enchanting Edwardian home, beautifully balances heritage detail and contemporary refinement with enticing future promise. Positioned along one of Hamptons finest beachside streets, its existing form is immediately inviting, while plans by award-winning architect Victoria Merrett (STCA) set the stage for a transformation that embraces light, exquisite materiality, and the prestige of its exclusive surroundings.

As is, the considered proportions and period character, including ornate fireplaces, intricate fretwork, and limed Baltic pine floors, reflect its origins, whilst modern updates create a home of enduring comfort and refinement. Three generous bedrooms and two striking bathrooms provide an elegant foundation, with a soaring rear extension creating a dramatic sense of openness. Double-height-raked ceilings frame a spacious family domain, where a wood-burning fireplace enhances the warmth of the space and French doors extend for al-fresco dining, complete with secure off-street parking via ROW with ducted heating, a garden shed, and comprehensive laundry facilities add to the ease. Above, a mezzanine level offers flexibility as a fourth bedroom, with Velux skylights inviting natural light and extensive storage running the length of the roofline.

Whether embraced in its current form or taken forward into its next chapter with the exceptional three-bedroom, three-bathroom plus study plans, every detail has been carefully considered to ensure a home of rare quality and presence in an address that places Hampton Street's cafs, leading schools, and the beach within easy reach.
