Elegant Hampton homes exemplify Melbourne’s timeless Bayside for downsizers

The arrival of Ocean House marks a new benchmark in premium apartment living for downsizers in Hampton.

Designed for discerning buyers looking to embrace waterside modern luxury in Melbourne, Ocean House by Carpe Group presents an exclusive opportunity.

With spacious, architecturally designed residences by Martin Friedrich Architects and a prime location, the project is poised to capture the attention of downsizers and lifestyle-driven homeowners alike.

“Hampton is such a beautiful suburb with sun-kissed beaches and a real active, laid-back bayside lifestyle.
It’s been a little-known secret, but more people are discovering just how liveable it is,” explained Tim Campbell, Co-Director of Carpe Group.

“Ocean House’s design fits perfectly within the suburb—it’s got an elegant presence and blends into the surroundings nicely with the flowing curves that sweep across the facade and the natural colour palette—it’s like the beaches and waves of the coastline.”

Two-bedroom residences start from $1,695,000, while three-bedroom residences are available from $2,050,000.

For those seeking the ultimate in coastal living, four penthouses are on offer, each boasting breathtaking views and luxurious design, priced from $3,450,000.

Lucky penthouse buyers will access the best of everything these Hampton homes have to offer.

Design excellence for discerning buyers

Every detail of Ocean House has been thoughtfully curated to deliver a high standard of living, making the transition from house to apartment life a simple one for downsizers.

The interiors are designed with a warm, natural palette inspired by Hampton’s coastal environment.

“We used warm brown and light sandy tones, layered textured finishes, and a neutral backdrop so residents can personalise their space and create a real sense of home,” explained Mr Campbell.

Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows invite natural light to flood the interiors, while open-plan layouts create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The oversized terraces also provide residents with the added room to bask in the outdoor coastal environment.

The design features French oak timber floors, bronze accents, and natural stone.

High-end finishes and premium materials have been integrated into the aesthetic.

The heart of the home (the kitchen) is fitted with top-of-the-line Gaggenau appliances, stone benchtops, and Fisher & Paykel or Liebherr refrigerators.

Quality materials have been used, sparing no expense, including French oak timber floors, bronze accents, and natural stone.

Buyers can also customise their spaces with their choice of timbers, carpet, tiling, and the selection of either light or dark colour schemes.

While the development does not feature traditional communal amenities such as pools or gyms, it prioritises security, privacy, and spacious common outdoor areas.

However, select apartments offer private pools as an optional feature.

“Our downsizer market doesn’t necessarily want a pool or gym; they prefer secure basement parking, large terraces, and beautifully landscaped courtyards,” explained Mr Campbell of the design choice.

Every detail of Ocean House is curated for high living standards.

Prime location in the heart of Hampton

Hampton continues to attract a diverse community as a bayside suburb that has similar lifestyle offerings to the blue-chip suburb of Brighton, but at a lower price tag.

Hampton’s median unit price sits at $905,000, whereas Brighton’s is $1.2m.

Residents of Ocean House will have access to Hampton’s top shopping, restaurants, and retail outlets around the corner on Hampton Street while being just moments from the beach.

“[Hampton] has got the best of the bayside living with a real distinct village feel—it’s a vibrant, really well-connected community,” explained Mr Campbell.

“There’s a very mixed demographic living here, from professionals to growing families and retirees.

“It’s really quite a desirable suburb for many varying markets and has strong investment potential.”

While the relaxed coastal lifestyle attracts a downsizing market, the suburb has also become popular among families thanks to the offering of respected schools in the area, including Hampton Primary School and Sandringham Primary School.

Hampton Station is also within walking distance of Ocean House, allowing residents easy access to Melbourne’s CBD in under 30 minutes, which is especially useful for city workers.
