23 Retreat Road Hampton

Art Deco design meets designer living in the heart of Hampton’s blue-chip period park precinct. Home to a talented interior-designer, this expertly renovated c.1940 Art Deco brick home is beautifully styled for modern life with open-plan lounge and dining rooms flowing northwards to sun-bathed decking and broad lawns, while generous robe-fitted bedrooms overlook securely fenced lawned front gardens.

A true designer original, the home features a sophisticated white and black kitchen starring a full complement of Asko appliances including an integrated dishwasher. There’s a sleek subway-tiled bathroom, and a bespoke-fitted laundry behind a vintage fluted-glass door. Specified to a demanding standard with a mix of premium Lithostone and striking natural granite benchtops, this stylish home features 100% New Zealand wool pebbled carpets beside limed oak floors, and airy sheers as a counterpoint to privacy-enhancing plantation shutters. Even the reverse-cycle air-conditioners are from a streamlined designer range.

Perhaps, most clever of all is the fine balance of design from yesteryear and today…with elaborate decorative ceilings above a fluted and garlanded fireplace with a textural granite hearth, and pretty picture rails defining a cool grey and white scheme. Stretching deep towards the north in approx 470sqm grounds, the property provides auto-gated parking on a exposed black-aggregate driveway, and sun-bathed rear lawns for pets, kids and, perhaps, a future extension.

Zoned to access newly reborn Sandringham Primary School in 2022, this exceptional Art Deco home is located for lifestyle; just 150m to Thomas St park, around the corner to the Grocery, a walk to the athletics track and netball centre, within 5 blocks of the station and Hampton St…and a couple of blocks more to the bay.
