Attractive is certainly the word that springs to mind when you first see this beautifully renovated and surprisingly private home. Thoughtfully improved over the past decade to exacting standards, it combines stylish presentation with practical features designed to make everyday living easier, more comfortable and more affordable.
Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the setting is wonderfully peaceful. With its idyllic outlook and leafy surroundings, it is easy to forget you are still in suburbia. The split-level design and expansive windows make the most of the home's elevated position, capturing stunning views along the River Derwent and across to the Western Shore.
Renovated with longevity and low maintenance in mind, this is a home you can simply move into and enjoy. Quality double-glazed windows and durable Modwood decks are just two of the thoughtful improvements that contribute to reduced maintenance and energy costs.
Inside, the layout is both practical and inviting, with a wonderful connection between the living spaces and outdoors. The sunken lounge flows naturally onto the front deck, creating an appealing space for entertaining or simply sitting back and enjoying the outlook. For year-round entertaining, the covered rear deck, complete with privacy blinds, provides a sheltered and versatile space to gather with family and friends, whatever the weather brings.
The three bedrooms are all equipped with built-in wardrobes, while the generously proportioned main bedroom is a particular highlight. Bathed in natural sunlight and enjoying fabulous water views, it offers a wonderfully spacious and peaceful retreat.
The modern kitchen is beautifully appointed and cleverly positioned beside the dining area, which looks over the lounge below. Functional by design, the "L" shaped kitchen incorporates a European-style laundry and enjoys a pleasant outlook over the rear garden and entertaining area.
The home's thoughtful details continue throughout. Two toilets are a welcome convenience for busy households, while the light-filled, modern bathroom features a generous skylight that adds to its sense of space and freshness. A dedicated alcove with shelving provides an ideal home study area - particularly useful for families wanting children to work within earshot of the central living spaces.
The lounge is reached by a few steps and offers plenty of flexibility when it comes to furniture placement. Heating is well catered for, with a wood heater and reverse-cycle heating providing warmth to the main living and kitchen areas, complemented by additional electric panel heaters and a heat-transfer unit serving the bedroom wing.
And then there is the benefit of the double glazing. Not only does it help with energy efficiency, it also reduces the need for excessive additional heating - particularly on those beautiful clear days when the home is bathed in sunshine well into the evening.
Outside, the fully landscaped and fenced backyard is ideal for families and their four-legged companions, with gated side access adding further convenience. The established garden attracts plenty of birdlife while remaining relatively easy to maintain, flowing naturally around to the front yard.
Parking is plentiful, with ample off-street space complemented by a large under-house garage with remote roller-door entry. There is room for a vehicle, along with a substantial workshop and plenty of shelving for storage - perfect for those who value having space to tinker, create or simply keep everything organised.
A host of less obvious but equally valuable improvements add to the appeal, including gas hot water, electrical upgrades to the switchboard, new gutters, roofing, fascia and Colorbond trims, NBN to the premises and a convenient dog door for your furry family members.
This is a home designed to give you more time to enjoy life and less time worrying about maintenance. The current owners have undertaken the hard work and thoughtful improvements needed to create a comfortable, efficient and easy-care home - leaving you free to do as much or as little as you like.
And with such a peaceful setting, there is plenty to enjoy beyond the property itself. Watch the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race as the fleet makes its way along the Derwent, stroll along the nearby waterfront walking track, or simply sit back and take in the ever-changing outlook.
Beautifully renovated, thoughtfully designed and wonderfully peaceful, this is a home where the hard work has already been done - all that remains is for you to move in and enjoy it!
