20 Avelin Street, Hampton VIC 3188

Flaunting all the street appeal of a nostalgic Californian Bungalow yet offering a contemporary entertainers' lifestyle perfectly suited to today's families, this cleverly extended home in the historic Castlefield Estate is a testament to the investment and time that it has been afforded.

Across a manicured front garden and traditional decked verandah, the spacious sun-filled interiors open to soaring ceilings and rich timber floors that flow past a front office (possible 5th bedroom) and the glorious ensuite master to an elegant sitting room where a picture window frames views of the garden. Allowing a flow of fresh air, towering louvred windows enhance the passage through to the open plan entertaining area that showcases stretches of bi-folds connecting indoors with an alfresco patio and the sun-filled established garden. Built-in cabinetry is a fabulous practicality, and the roaring gas fireplace is an inviting focal point, while hosts will love the gourmet kitchen boasting Smeg appliances (twin ovens), an integrated fridge/freezer and luxe marble splashback.

Upstairs, discover more living space and a brilliant fitted study zone together with three spacious bedrooms all with fitted wardrobes sharing a modern main bathroom with a decadent bath and handy separate WC. A ground-floor powder room and large laundry are also on offer together with triple garaging behind an auto gate.Split levels & contrasting floors add interest throughout the light-lavished accommodation which is kept comfortable by zoned heating/cooling and offers ample storage, a water tank plus an alarm & security cameras.

Nestled in a highly-desired pocket, a stones throw to Castlefield Reserve, this high-quality family residence is close to both Haileybury & St Leonards colleges, moments to transport and Hampton Street's shops & restaurants and a quick trip to sparkling bayside beaches.
