There’s an old nursery rhyme that begins, ‘As I was going to St Ives, I met - ’ . What you meet is a cute single-fronted Victorian home – called ‘St Ives” - which, thanks to a modern extension, turns out to be more than a tiny cottage. Indeed this is a family home chock full of warmth and charm.
Beginning with an enchanting façade and front garden, the home shows strong evidence of its Victorian origins. High ceilings, deep skirting boards, entrance hall with arch, and lovely polished Baltic pine floorboards remain in the original section of the house where 2 of the 3 bedrooms with BIRs are located along with a tiled bathroom with double shower, bath, and toilet.
The extension starts with the open-plan living room - an exciting sunlight-filled space with richly coloured floorboards, limewashed timber ceiling with exposed beams, large areas of glazing, and a terrific skylit kitchen with stone benchtops, glass splashbacks, masses of storage (right down to a wine rack), island breakfast bar, Smeg cooking and integrated Miele dishwasher. Dining area is separated from sitting area (with surround-sound wiring) by a step, and several doors lead out to a deck. A light-filled study (with built-in desk) shows the way to the master bedroom which has BIRs, an ensuite and access to the deck. Ducted heating, security alarm, and air conditioner are amongst the inclusions.
At the rear of the house is the outdoor entertaining area where there is built-in seating, a water feature, and built-in gas BBQ. A double carport has automatic roller door access from the rear laneway. Move the cars out and you have a great undercover party area or space for the children to play on rainy days!
Peaceful leafy Hamilton Street is located in the heart of the Martin Street café scene, within strolling distance of train station, shops, easy walk to the beach, primary schools and Star of the Sea College and other schools.
