12 Hoyt Street, Hampton VIC 3188

Grand, gracious and beautifully located, this is a classic entertainer in a first-class position. Approx 500m from the bay in the tightly-held Brighton Beach precinct, this impressive home opens up beyond an elegant balconied facade to offer an adaptable floorplan of five possible bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and multiple living zones. Featuring traditional formal lounge and dining rooms (one with window-seat, one with gas-fire) and indoor-outdoor family living (flowing seamlessly out through a wall of bi-folds), upstairs is a fully-appointed home-theatre (with magnificent media cabinetry.)

Upstairs accommodates a retreat which would easily be transformed into a fifth bedroom, the home features a ground-floor main bedroom-suite (with dual WIRs for him & her and a spa-ensuite) and a second suite upstairs (also with spa-ensuite and WIR). Starring a bespoke French provincial kitchen with Miele appliances, the home is designed for entertaining with an impressively-fitted bar and servery windows (from bar and kitchen) to a vast al fresco area beside the dual heated fully-tiled pool and water-feature spa.

Alarmed and centrally heated & cooled throughout, the home is fully audio-wired (with additional Bose surround-sound for the entertaining zone), video-intercom and an oversize double auto-garage. Exquisitely detailed with Oak doors to a herringbone-parquetry entry and natural stone benchtops, there's a butler's pantry extending to a huge laundry. Set in high-walled grounds within easy walking distance of Brighton Beach station and the South Rd schools, this is an elite entertainer at a premier beachside address.
