Hampton VIC 3188

Spanning two expansive levels, superbly defined zones have been conceived to meet every family requirement with peace and privacy. Glass-wrapped living and dining areas are linked by a glowing open fireplace creating spacious yet intimate places to gather. At the heart of the family domain is a bespoke kitchen with a slimline Neolith island the focus. Checkerboard stainless steel and ceramic tiles extend to a Butler's style pantry, while premium Miele appliances (induction cooktop, oven and dishwasher) ensure cooking is a breeze.

Following an east-west axis, one of the stars of this site responsive home is al fresco living and entertaining. Huge glass sliders extend the indoors out to sundrenched gardens featuring vast decking with bench seating, a hidden fire-pit and bluestone pavers flowing to a multi-purpose, double-plus automatic garage with gym, workshop and extra room for parties or larger occasions.

Accommodation zones on each level feature a parents retreat, privately positioned to the rear with a fully tiled, en suite and walk-in dressing area. To the front a guest bathroom and bedroom with Murphy bed/couch also provides a beautiful work from home space or study. Upstairs kids' have their own quarters boasting a light filled mezzanine lounge, 3 huge bedrooms (built-in robes) and a family bathroom ingeniously warmed by a towering flue coming up from the ground level fireplace.

All-electric and solar powered, this house utilises intelligent technology to minimise energy consumption and achieve a 7.6 star rating. Systems include heat recovery ventilation, heat pump based hot water and underfloor hydronic heating. Also large laundry with chute and outdoor access to a custom clothes line, 15,000l water tanks, veggie and kitchen gardens. Walk or ride to South Road schools, the golf course, Hampton Street shops, local cafes, parkland and the beachfront.
