Overview

Ground Floor Living. Upstairs for Family. Room for the Boat and Caravan

Set among established gardens with a distinct Japanese feel, this custom-built home is designed so you can live comfortably on the ground floor and keep the entire upstairs for family. Add side access to a second garage for the boat or caravan and it offers a rare balance of easy everyday living and room for everything else. Mature plantings wrap the property, giving it a genuine sense of privacy from the neighbours. Everything you need day to day sits on the ground floor. The main bedroom has a walk-in robe and ensuite and the north-facing living, kitchen and dining areas take in beautiful natural light. High ceilings and Tasmanian oak floorboards give the home warmth, while air conditioning and a gas log fire keep it comfortable year round. A bar area off the kitchen is ready for a quiet drink at the end of the day or for entertaining when the house is full. A large laundry with generous storage and a separate powder room complete this level. Upstairs is a separate retreat for children, grandchildren and visiting family. Three good-sized bedrooms each have built-in robes and ceiling fans and a family room with its own air conditioning gives everyone their own space to unwind. A full bathroom with bath and a separate toilet are also upstairs. When the house is quiet, the upstairs can simply be closed off until the next visit. For vehicles and recreational gear, the double garage at the front sits beside a driveway that runs down the side of the home to a second garage/workshop of approximately 7.5m x 4.9m at the back of the block. It suits two small cars or a larger vehicle, with further room alongside for a caravan, a boat or both. A Wi-Fi security camera above the front garage door adds peace of mind. The kitchen features Caesarstone benchtops and a gas cooktop, with a servery opening straight out to a large undercover entertaining area. Here, a sitting area gathered around a wood fire makes it an easy place to spend time outdoors well into the cooler months and a pull-down flywire on the servery keeps the kitchen comfortable in summer. From there, the space leads out to the deck and a heated magnesium spa, solar powered with an INSNRG electric heater. The deck flows gently into the garden, where a 400-year-old Chinese door, framed by timber from the original San Remo bridge opens to a vegetable garden with three raised beds. A watering system services the entire garden and a large water tank supports more sustainable living. Solar panels, gas hot water and connection to the Seagrove Estate community gas supply through Elgas help keep running costs in check. A home that suits downsizers who still want room for family, or anyone with a boat, van or second car to house. Contact us to arrange a private inspection.
