Marlu Hampton: The perfect family lifestyle in Bayside
Hampton began as a market garden hub in the 1880s.
As interest in the area's beaches grew, it became a popular destination for day trips and holidays among Melburnians. Rapid development and population growth since then have integrated Hampton into Melbourne's suburban fabric, attracting residents of all age groups, from retirees to established families.
Thomas Constructions recognises the enduring appeal of this locality with their latest off-the-plan development, Marlu Hampton. With the beach nearby, friendly neighbours, quality public schools and a great shopping strip, Hampton has everything for a relaxed and convenient Bayside lifestyle.
Marlu is located at 29 Service Street, a 10-minute walk away from the Hampton Station, offering a quick and convenient access to Melbourne's CBD.
Marlu's prime location in Hampton places residents within walking distance of the area's greatest assets—Hampton Beach and beautiful parks.
Residents can engage in watersports or take leisurely strolls with their pets along the sandy shores of Hampton Beach, even during the summer months when it remains pleasantly uncrowded.
The Hampton Life Saving Club offers a Nippers program for children and various activities for adults - patrolling, fitness programs, sports, social activities - throughout the summer.
Additionally, there is a great park in Thomas Street which has a huge playground and netball courts for kids.
While primarily a residential area, Hampton also hosts significant commercial establishments centred around the Hampton railway station and along Hampton Street.
The Hampton Street Shopping Centre serves as the suburb's bustling hub, offering a diverse dining scene with an array of cafes, such as SIPP, Merry Men, and Brown Cow, all within a six-minute walk of Marlu, as well as tapas bars and a variety of Italian, Japanese, Indian, Thai, and Chinese dine-in or takeaway restaurants that serve delectable cuisine at reasonable prices.
For groceries, the local Hampton Market, Lamont's Fine Food butcher and Fegari Seafood Market are some of the local’s favourite destinations for high-quality meats and seafood, along with Woolworths on Hampton Street and Coles on Bluff Road.
Nestled in the middle of this shopping strip is Hampton Primary School, only a quick three-minute drive from Marlu.
Marlu is a collection of seven luxury townhomes designed by architect David Dubois. These three-level residences feature striking red brick facades with terracotta shingles, framed by deeply recessed, electro-bronze steel windows.
Each Marlu townhome offers approximately 263 sqm of living space and is accessible via a two-car garage equipped with a lift.
The open kitchen and living area on the ground floor encompasses both a lounge and dining space, extending to a private front courtyard.
Marlu includes a multipurpose basement that can be transformed into a gym, wine cellar, cinema, or lounge area.
Marlu is set to be completed by early 2025.
