10 Gordon Street
Hampton

Located in the heart of Hampton’s prized Golden Triangle, this spacious family home is exceptional with two levels of architect-designed excellence, a large attic storage and sorting room, and the luxury of poolside outdoor living spaces. It’s a brilliant combination custom-built to a high standard, featuring two separate living areas, a sun-filled conservatory, five bedrooms, four bathrooms, two studies, a large kitchen with adjoining butler’s pantry, and clear views of the pool and garden. Hidden away behind the garage and front garden, this secure, private, easy to live in retreat opens onto a series of sun-drenched courtyards and evergreen spaces. The family room doubles as a home cinema with surround sound, concealed projector, and drop-down screen. The large lounge-dining area is linked to courtyard and garden areas and is designed for formal entertaining or family functions. The spacious ground-floor bedroom and adjoining bathroom is perfect for guests, live-in grandparents, or use as a fourth living zone. The first floor is clearly zoned with a parents’ bedroom, ensuite, dressing room and large study at one end, and three children’s bedrooms served by two bathrooms at the other end, inclusive of a laundry chute connected directly to the ground-floor laundry. At third floor level has large floorspace and surrounding cupboards, providing ample room for storage and sorting. The house is easy to keep cool in summer and warm in winter due to the high-specification insulated walls and roof, double-glazed windows throughout, zoned split-system air conditioning, hydronic heating, gas fireplaces, a heat-recovery ventilation system, passive solar design, and the main courtyard created to introduce winter sun. There’s a double garage just footsteps away with covered access to the front entrance door, and security features include an alarm system, video entry, sensor lighting, lockable metal gates and high boundary fencing. Solar heating and a retractable pool cover are part of the pool design, or you can walk down New Street for a swim at Hampton beach. Sought-after Gordon Street attracts no through traffic, and is an easy walk to both Brighton Beach and Hampton Primary Schools, Haileybury and St Leonard’s Colleges. You can take the train to the city from nearby Brighton Beach station, and shop and dine locally at Were Street Village, Church Street or Hampton Street.
