4/8 Alicia Street, Hampton, VIC, 3188

THE DEAL
With the beach one way and Hampton Street the other, this brilliantly renovated two-bedroom apartment makes the most of its tightly-held position. Set to the rear of a quiet, older-style complex and finished with a sharp, design-focused eye, it delivers generous proportions, excellent natural light and supreme functionality that screams easy living.

Engineered oak floors add warmth and on-trend appeal from the very first step, leading to the open-plan living and dining zone, which extends to the garden-level balcony for relaxed al-fresco dining. The adjoining kitchen is spacious and smartly executed, with handmade subway tiles, a 900mm freestanding gas cooker, a high-end dishwasher, loads of storage, and a European laundry. Two well-sized bedrooms feature built-in robes and ceiling fans, while the bathroom forms a strong impression with full-height tiling, a backlit mirror, heated towel rail and a separate WC.

The sense of space throughout sets it apart, both in footprint and feel, with split system heating and cooling and a dedicated covered car space completing a perfect turnkey package. Everything is close enough to be routine, whether it’s coffee at Merrymen, a swim before work, the train to the CBD, or dinner on the strip. It’s a polished, easy-to-maintain base in one of Hampton’s most consistently in-demand locations – and with nothing more to do, it’s ready to deliver from day one.

SEALS THE DEAL
A smart move, whichever way you look at it.
