You know the second you walk into a house if it has a generous, welcoming character; a fine home reveals itself immediately through the way the light falls and the space flows. Welcome to Wave Street.

Inside, at the top of the long, handsome hallway, a study sits to the right, with internal access to the three-car garage.
To the left, the main bedroom is an airy beauty. Pale carpet, crisp white walls and wonderful windows overlooking the superb garden are a simple, note-perfect combination.
Further enhancing that atmosphere are a large walk-in wardrobe and smart en suite with more botanical vistas. The fine retreat is completed by a lovely sitting room that projects into the front greenery.
More bright delights await if you take a turn down that long central passage.
A terrific window looks out over a little billabong, with a pretty waterfall underscoring the brilliant connection to the natural world. Across the way, an open section accommodates a north-facing formal lounge and dining area, the latter featuring a splendid sunroom that reaches into the garden.
Beyond the staircase, the rear open-plan living area, with its raked ceiling and ample glazing, is positively radiant.
An attractive kitchen is all languid space and easy functionality, with stone benches, excellent appliances and ample storage. In front, a meals area looks out to the big resort-style backyard we’re itching to see.
Before that, though, there’s the dreamy north-easterly living room – timber floors, white walls and windows full of greenery. Perfect.
Tucked just behind is a glass door leading to an internal spa. Just the spot for those days when Melbourne turns icy.
Beyond the rear glass, a large terrace unfolds to include a pizza oven and multiple seating areas before the sapphire-blue pool framed by manicured hedging.
This is a house that keeps giving, so it’s no surprise the garden follows suit. It sweeps around to the south past a fire pit and vegie garden before concluding at a sweet little studio tucked around the corner. Wonderful.
Back inside and upstairs, the light-filled loveliness continues. Another long hallway serves three north-facing bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate shower room.
At the western front of the home, a tiled rumpus room or study leads onto a balcony and into the hale Hampton air.
“Step out of your busy life and enjoy the tranquil setting this beautiful family home offers,” says Kay & Burton listing agent Tony Ryan. “It’s an oasis, moments from Hampton Street.”
