10 Carolyn Street, Hampton, Vic 3188

This 1950s vintage cream brick veneer home has been creatively expanded in the 1980s, with the kitchen opened up to a large family room, and an added fourth bedroom.
The family room is styled in old hawthorn brick, slate floor, oblique pine lining and oregon beams. Large cedar windows and doors open to the spacious rear garden. Off the kitchen, the laundry has a shower recess and separate toilet, and could readily become a complete bathroom for this rear living zone.
Both living areas make good use of sunshine, and the solar hot water and electricity are environmentally friendly. At present the premium feed-in electricity tariff pays 65.5 cents per kwh, more than covers all the energy costs, and lasts until another 8 years for any owner here. The kitchen has plenty of cupboards and large pantry, and looks down on the family room and garden.
Well below the median price in this area, and basically sound with no leaks, a few things could still do with attention before too long. In a quiet street, with bus stops just 200 metres away with quick trips to Hampton, Highett and Southland, this should suit a family who don't need the latest luxuries but appreciate the great location. Offers from buyers wanting to live here preferred to investors.
