39 Littlewood Street Hampton

A reimagination of both period living and prestige family life in approx. 1,200sqm grounds, this spectacular modern day estate comprises an exceptional Edwardian home with parking and auto-garaging in a lawned front yard, a dual-heated pool and spa beside a fire-warmed al fresco pavilion, and a fully-lit mod-grass tennis court stretching back to true north. Virtually rebuilt to the specification of award-winning interior designer, Carole Whiting, in grounds from Kate Patterson Landscape Architecture, this five bedroom plus home-office, 4.5 bathroom, 2 powder room (1 outside in the pool area) home, offers a well-considered dual-suite, multi-living plan with suites upstairs and down, living inside and out, and room for play and work including a sleek home-office.

Grandly scaled with a multi-functional formal zone fitted for both quiet relaxation and overflow accommodation (with a seamlessly integrated Pardo wall-bed), and lofty family living with spaces to live loud with a pool-view or find peace in a quiet window-bay, the home steps into the light with vast outdoor zone with space to entertain in all-weather complete with a hard-plumbed BBQ.

A showcase of Carole Whiting’s refined design with textural natural stone (including New Savior limestone benchtops), airy oak floors (in the lightest blonde) and bespoke cabinetry (in 2-Pack, oak veneer and polished-paint), the home breaks new ground with intelligent design at every turn. From an eye-catching ‘glass-box’ sink and elite Miele appliances (including WiFi-connected induction cooktop) for the custom kitchen, to individually crafted bathrooms (two ensuites plus side-by-side bathrooms to bridge the kids’ gender divide), the design is both timeless and of the moment.

With bathroom fittings from Mary Noall, fine timbers from George Fethers, and Dot hangers from Anne Black, the home features only the most sophisticated brands and suppliers. There are Signorino tiles, Artedomus supplies, and Hub and Spencer & Lyda lighting…even the paint-finishes are from iconic Australian brand Porter’s Paints. Outdoor areas are completed to a similarly high standard, with Italian glass-mosaics tiling the pool and spa, ironbark pillars and decking for the al fresco zone, hand-cut single-slab bluestone as coping, and saw-cut cobblestone, Wyndham limestone and bluestone as paving.

With a rare focus on family function, the home’s signature V Groove panelling seamlessly conceals amenity areas, including a uniquely well-designed ’back of house’ encompassing mud-room, laundry and butler’s pantry. Similarly seamless storage includes built-in and walk-in robes and ‘secret’ hallway closets, while uncompromising appointments include zoned climate-control, video-intercom, alarm, 6 camera CCTV and auto-irrigation.

Just 250m from Hampton St’s café society, this is the home of a lifetime in Bayside’s most family-wise lifetime location – a dash to the station, a jog to the bay and a last minute dash to the Primary School, Haileybury and St Leonards’ Colleges.
