Welcome to 10 Casuarina Crescent. Set against the backdrop of Tasmania's pristine Derwent River (timtumili minanya) and nestled on one of Berriedale's most tightly held streets on an exclusive peninsula, this architecturally designed mid-century masterpiece seamlessly marries timeless architectural character with refined modern living. Occupying a substantial 1,627m² parcel of land, this sprawling, sun-filled property is positioned to take full advantage of its elevated, north-facing orientation - offering breathtaking, uninterrupted views across the foreshore, the river and beyond to the distant rolling hills.
This four-bedroom, two-bathroom home is a celebration of space, design and natural light, with multiple indoor and outdoor zones thoughtfully arranged over three expansive levels. A sense of privacy and tranquility pervades the home, thanks to its secluded setting, mature native gardens, and clever design that ensures every principal room captures natural sunlight and scenic vistas throughout the day.
At the heart of the home lies a fully renovated, bespoke designer kitchen - crafted to an exceptional standard with discerning entertainers and culinary enthusiasts in mind. Featuring premium, high-end appliances, including a six-burner freestanding oven and gas cooktop, this kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful. Stone benchtops, sleek custom cabinetry, and a breakfast bar invite gatherings and family get-togethers, while the inclusion of a walk-in pantry, full scullery, and integrated serving area through bi-fold windows out to the deck provide both practicality and effortless flow between indoor and outdoor entertaining. Whether hosting a family brunch, a birthday party or an elegant dinner party, this space adapts with ease.
The home offers a wealth of flexible living options to suit families of all sizes. On the main level, a spacious formal living room provides an inviting place to relax or gather by the warmth of the original open fireplace - a nod to the home's mid-century roots. Floor to ceiling windows in many rooms frame the leafy garden and river views, while polished timber floors and heritage detailing create a sense of warmth and authenticity.
The substantial dining space lends itself to wonderful gatherings, with views that will be a daily pleasure, and flows beautifully into the kitchen and out onto the back deck. Additional living areas and flexible-use spaces across all levels offer the potential for media rooms, home offices, or rumpus rooms for younger family members - ensuring every generation is catered for. The main level also boasts a significant bathroom, including spa bath, and a separate powder room.
The accommodation wing of the residence is privately set on the highest level, well-appointed and oriented to ensure each room enjoys the stunning view. The primary bedroom suite is a true highlight - generously proportioned and featuring direct access to its own large, private deck. From this tranquil perch, take in the sweeping water views with a morning coffee or unwind at day's end to the soothing sounds of nature. Each of the additional three bedrooms offers generous built-in wardrobes, abundant natural light, and the same incredible garden and water outlooks, creating peaceful retreats for every family member or guest. A bathroom and separate powder room on this level completes the picture.
Stepping outside, the home reveals a remarkable connection to its natural surrounds. A sprawling entertainer's deck on the ground floor extends seamlessly from the internal living areas, providing the perfect space for outdoor dining, lounging, or hosting summer gatherings. The gardens are an established wonderland of native flora - low maintenance yet lush - with large trees offering both shade and a haven for birdlife. Children and pets will delight in the expansive lawn, while green thumbs will appreciate the potential for further landscaping and gardens.
A unique feature of this property is the private rear access to the picturesque Windermere Track - a waterside walking path that traces the foreshore and connects to local reserves and recreational areas. Whether you are an avid walker, cyclist, or simply enjoy being close to nature, this direct access opens up a lifestyle of ease, wellness, and connection to the environment.
Additional features of the property include a double secure carport with a driveway that provides ample further parking, significant under-house storage together with a large storage shed, quality finishes throughout, and scope for further personalization if desired. While the home enjoys peace and privacy, it is also conveniently located just minutes from MONA, local schools, shopping precincts, and only a short drive to Hobart's city centre - offering a rare balance of retreat-like seclusion and urban accessibility.
10 Casuarina Crescent is an extraordinary offering in every sense - a home rich in architectural history yet fully equipped for modern family life. With its commanding views, luxurious appointments, and generous proportions inside and out, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a truly iconic property in one of Hobart's most picturesque and desirable enclaves.
