Some homes are defined by their address. Others by the way they make you feel.
28 Hawley Esplanade is both.
Positioned in one of Hawley Beach's most sought-after locations, this award-winning residence is elevated to capture panoramic coastal views, with the ever-changing colours of Mount Narawntapu providing a remarkable backdrop to everyday life.
Designed by local architects Star Box and crafted by JPO Builders, the home was recognised in the 2019 HIA Building Awards and awarded the Tasmanian Master Builders Renovations Award in 2019.
The architecture is considered. The materials are enduring. The interiors are warm, refined and quietly sophisticated.
Solid Blackbutt timber runs throughout the home, from the statement entry and staircase to the polished floors, kitchen bulkhead and feature walls. Charcoal finishes, natural stone and textured tiles add depth, while extensive custom cabinetry provides a seamless balance of form and function.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen, dining and living spaces are arranged around the view.
Dark cabinetry, rich timber and stone benchtops form a considered kitchen, centred by an extended island designed for entertaining. A skylight draws natural light across the space, while floor-to-ceiling glazing connects the dining area directly with the front deck and the landscape beyond.
A striking dual-sided wood fireplace sits at the centre of the living zone. Designed to be enjoyed enclosed or open, it provides warmth, atmosphere and a strong architectural focal point, visible from both the kitchen and living areas.
The main bedroom occupies the upper level, opening directly to the front deck and its uninterrupted outlook. Built-in robes and a beautifully appointed ensuite with walk-in shower, skylight and underfloor heating complete the space.
Downstairs, the home becomes more flexible.
Two additional bedrooms, a generous rumpus and office area, bathroom and substantial laundry provide space for family, guests, work and retreat. Custom cabinetry is thoughtfully integrated throughout, while underfloor heating and a Daikin heat pump provide comfort across the level.
Entertaining extends into the enclosed alfresco, where a dedicated kitchenette, fridge/freezer and Teppanyaki cooking plate create a space designed for long lunches and late evenings. Opening windows connect the room with the gardens, while radiant ceiling heaters allow it to be enjoyed throughout the year.
Outside, the landscape has been equally considered.
Five raised garden beds, espaliere fruit trees, established gardens, a garden shed and dedicated wood storage create a setting that is both beautiful and productive. Aggregate concrete pathways connect the grounds, while sixteen solar panels contribute to the home's efficiency.
Throughout, comfort has been integrated rather than imposed. Double glazing, central ducted heating, underfloor heating, a Daikin heat pump, panel heaters and motorised blinds ensure the home performs as beautifully as it looks.
There is a quiet quality to Hawley Beach that is difficult to replicate. Where the Rubicon River meets the sea, Hawley offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle shaped by beaches, waterways, walking trails and expansive natural beauty.
Despite its peaceful setting, everyday conveniences are close at hand. Port Sorell and Shearwater offer supermarkets, cafés, medical services, golf and local amenities, while Ghost Rock Vineyard is just minutes away.
Devonport, the airport and Spirit of Tasmania terminal are approximately 20 minutes from home.
This is not simply a home with a view. It is a home designed around one.
A considered coastal residence where architecture, landscape and everyday life come together with quiet confidence. For private inspections please contact Sharyn Crack.
