16 Bolton Avenue Hampton
Gracing a tranquil, leafy corner Bayside block of 746 square metres (approx.) just moments from the sandy shores of both Brighton and Hampton beaches, this elegantly restored and renovated five-bedroom-plus-study family home will captivate with its English country house style and charm.
Set within glorious northerly-facing established gardens featuring a century-old oak tree, the picture-perfect solid brick home retains all the hallmarks of its circa 1922 era including stained glass, bay windows, stucco walls and shingle cladding. Inside the original formal rooms have been meticulously maintained and restored, while contemporary enhancements and extensions over the decades have created a charm-filled family haven, featuring open plan living/dining, a gourmet stone central kitchen with Miele induction cooktop and triple ovens, and a spacious upper-level rumpus/retreat. Multi-paned windows and French doors provide inviting garden outlooks to the rear brick-paved alfresco zone with a salt-chlorinated heated pool and outdoor dining space under a vine-draped pergola.
Reminiscent of a boutique country-house hotel, there are character-rich formal lounge and dining rooms, and charming bedrooms. The spacious layout is perfect for contemporary family living featuring a zoned master suite on the ground floor, with a walk-in robe and elegant ensuite with spa bath and bidet. There are powder rooms on both levels, and a large modern main bathroom upstairs, along with four delightful bedrooms with sloped ceilings and dormer windows.
Additional features include a double, remote-operated garage with internal and rear-garden access, laundry with external access, an abundance of storage cupboards and spaces, and multiple heating/cooling options including a gas log fireplace, wood fireplace, ducted central heating, split systems, and ceiling fans.
Ideally located to enjoy all the privileges of Bayside living, it is a short walk to leading schools including St. Leonards and Haileybury colleges, transport hubs including Brighton Beach and Hampton stations, and the shopping and cafés of Hampton Street and Were Street village.
