Hampton East

Inspiration will flow with a stream of possibilities to reimagine this Hampton East property (STCA) on a sprawling, dual frontage block measuring 1554 sqm (approx.) - more than one third of an acre - in a highly sought-after, beachside-of-highway neighbourhood, that is perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of Bayside living.

On a single land title, the property is being offered for sale for the first time since 1964. Rentable and/or liveable, the existing 1950s brick residence has been owned by the same family for almost six decades. The 3-bedroom home features a main bedroom with BIRs, spacious living room with split system A/C plus gas heating, classic tiled bathroom, and retains ornate features such as decorative cornices and timberwork. The immense parklike backyard, complete with a fenced-off vegetable garden and orchard, was the scene for many games of backyard cricket, plenty of large family gatherings and even for a time served as a mini-bike track to keep the local teenagers off the streets!

In this prized, rapidly changing neighbourhood, which is a 10-minute walk to Moorabbin Station and close to Brighton's cafe culture strips and with Brighton Beach and its bathing boxes just at the end of South Road, new residential inspiration can be found all around with a host of high-end developments of luxury apartments and townhouses.

There are plenty of parks and leisure amenities in strollable distance include Dendy Street Park and Brighton Public Golf Course. With the CBD a quick commute, and easy freeway access to Peninsula Link, plus Brighton boutiques, Hampton Street shopping and Southland all just minutes away, this address is perfectly placed to enjoy the relaxed and privileged Bayside lifestyle.
