27 Grout Street, Hampton, Vic 3188

Built for the Manager of the local State Savings Bank in 1925, this charming three bedroom home is a showpiece of 'Arts and Crafts' era detail with elaborate leadlight in every original window (and most doors), rich timber work including an impressive fireplace (one of two) and lofty strapped ceilings (whose height is continued into newer area). Showcasing a well-integrated extension, this period beauty features generous sized rooms, a timeless timber kitchen facing north to sun-soaked family living and gardens beyond and an elegant central bathroom with a bright skylight. There's even the perfect blend of old world charm and modern functionality outdoors with beautiful cottage gardens out front and a huge up to four car garage suggesting all sorts of flexible uses. A minute to Hampton St shops, cafes and the Primary school, a moment to Castlefield Reserve, this is rare period beauty for a beautiful family life.
