Overview

852 Hampton Street, Brighton, 3186

Retaining all the character and charm of its circa-1920s origins in a prestigious neighbourhood central to both Bay and Church Streets, this luxuriously appointed four-bedroom family home in Brighton has been architecturally renovated to celebrate contemporary family liveability. The design incorporates zoned, light-filled living and entertaining spaces, with seamless indoor/outdoor connectivity to a travertine alfresco terrace and an in-ground swimming pool.

Rich in grand California Bungalow style, the home features a curved brick-columned verandah and double leadlight entry doors. The classic weatherboard residence is set behind a picket fence and beautifully landscaped gardens. Inside, the wide central hallway showcases ornate architraves, picture rails, and soaring ceilings. A crisp neutral colour palette and glossy plantation shutters add a fresh, contemporary ambience throughout the home.

The adaptable layout offers a choice of living and entertaining spaces over two levels, including a zoned lower-level main bedroom suite and three upper-level robed bedrooms, two of which have access to a rear balcony. The home has been magnificently modernised, with two indulgently appointed bathrooms, including a main ensuite, and two powder rooms. These feature floor-to-ceiling designer tiling, stone vanities, and high-end tapware, providing a luxurious finish.

Custom designed for serious gourmet cooking pursuits, the sleek stone-topped kitchen is equipped with four PITT integrated gas burners beneath a Qasair range hood and two Ilve multi-function ovens. A glazed splashback draws in natural light and offers views to the surrounding greenery. A servery window above the double Oliveri sink connects directly to the travertine alfresco zone, enhancing the entertaining experience.

Further enhancing the entertaining amenity is a custom stone island bench/diner with dedicated wine-fridge space and a preparation pantry that flows to the stone-topped laundry with external access. Abundant glazing, French doors, and sliding doors open to the travertine paved alfresco entertaining area and the in-ground mosaic-rimmed swimming pool with a Baja shelf. An expansive lawn area and neatly landscaped borders complete the relaxed outdoor living and entertaining space.

Additional features include a gas log-fire heater set in traditional surrounds, central heating and cooling, and custom joinery providing an abundance of built-in storage. There is also under-stair storage and attic storage. A long driveway offers off-street parking for up to four vehicles.

This ideal Brighton lifestyle location is central to leading private schools including Brighton Grammar, Firbank Grammar, St Leonard’s College, and Haileybury College. It is also an easy walk to Bay Street and Church Street shops and station, Dendy Village, and Brighton Beach, making it a highly sought-after address for families seeking both convenience and luxury.
