Hampton East VIC 3188

Dive into summer from the immense family-living-dining area flowing out to a colonnaded poolside alfresco zone. Year-round entertaining is made easy by a well-appointed European appliance kitchen with a dual-drawer dishwasher, while summer events are made even tastier by a built-in woodfired oven and BBQ spit to ensure that no one ever goes hungry after a swim.

After the pool, you can entertain in a sun-catching northside formal room with space for a baby grand piano. Or better still, give the kids room to move in their own vast treetop lounge.

There's even a place to escape with king-sized bedrooms for each of the kids (with room to fit a study area), a versatile home office (or possible ground-floor fifth bedroom), and a breathtaking master-domain claiming almost half of the vast first floor with a lounge-sized window-bay retreat, a deluxe dressing room, and lavish dual vanity spa-ensuite.

Endlessly elegant with an eye to timeless detail, the home features a newly fitted laundry with stone benchtops, beautiful herringbone parquetry floors, airy linen-sheers and block-out blinds - all against the backdrop of a fresh, clean white paint scheme. Fully-appointed with ducted heating and cooling, an alarm, an understairs-storeroom, walk-in pantry, built-in robes, and excellent car accommodation in a big double auto-garage. Best of all is the immensely private north-westerly poolside gardens with classically styled solar-heated pool centre-stage, surrounded by sandstone paving and lush traditional hedges.

Located within easy reach of Highett Rd's trendy hospitality hub, Hampton St's beachside latte living, and many of Melbourne's best schools. Centred in the heart of Hampton East's park precinct with Wishart Reserve's dog park within a wag, and Oliver Reserve within a swing, is where grace, grandeur and a great family lifestyle meet.
