Designed by Award Winning architect Ray Heffernan to embrace its natural surroundings, this incredible home has been thoughtfully positioned to capture breathtaking panoramic views stretching across Hobart, the Eastern Shore and the ever-changing beauty of the Tasman Bridge. Bathed in all-day sun and offering effortless level access, this is a home where exceptional architecture and everyday family living come together beautifully.
Privately tucked away from the street, the beauty and simplicity of this design is forgettable. From the moment you step through the entrance, it's easy to imagine family and friends pausing to take in the spectacular outlook and tranquil surroundings before exploring a home that has been lovingly cherished by its owners for almost two decades.
At its heart lies a beautifully appointed galley kitchen with expansive stone benchtops, designed to keep everyone connected. Whether preparing weekday dinners, helping with homework at the kitchen table, or entertaining a house full of guests, this welcoming space flows naturally between the home's formal and informal living areas while making the stunning outlook part of everyday activities.
The adjoining formal dining room is perfect for milestone celebrations and long family dinners, complete with generous built-in storage for everything from everyday crockery to treasured keepsakes. Equally versatile, it could become a second lounge or dedicated space for teenagers. With direct access to the front terrace and the ability to close the room off, it offers flexibility for growing families.
The main living and meals area is truly the heart of the home. Framed by dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, natural light pours across the tiled floors while the ever-changing landscape becomes living artwork throughout the seasons. Large sliding doors extend the living space onto the expansive front terrace, where family gatherings, summer barbecues and New Year's Eve fireworks become unforgettable traditions. As evening falls, the illuminated Tasman Bridge creates a magical backdrop, while the terrace wraps around to a private rear courtyard complete with a pizza oven-perfect for relaxed weekends, children's birthday celebrations or entertaining on any scale. Built-in cabinetry and surround sound complete this exceptional family living space.
The privately positioned main bedroom offers parents a peaceful sanctuary on the entry level. Generously proportioned, it features a walk-through wardrobe, a stylish ensuite with underfloor heating and walk-in shower, and direct access to the terrace, creating the perfect place to enjoy a quiet morning coffee before the day begins.
Downstairs, three additional rooms provide outstanding flexibility as families grow. Two are currently configured as bedrooms, while the third includes built-in desks, making it an ideal study or homework zone that could easily convert into a fourth bedroom if required. The family bathroom also incorporates the laundry and enjoys the added comfort of underfloor heating.
A cool wine cellar offers excellent storage beneath the home, while an adjoining room with its own external entrance presents endless possibilities. Currently used as a gym, it could easily become a home office, artist's studio, music room, workshop or a private space for a home-based business with some floor coverings added.
Outside, the landscaped gardens have been designed with the same architectural care as the home itself. Terraced gardens and carefully planned privacy walls create beautiful, low-maintenance outdoor spaces that families can simply enjoy. The espaliered fruit trees at the front provide both a striking architectural feature and seasonal produce, while creating a natural privacy screen. At the rear, the sheltered courtyard offers a peaceful setting where children can play safely, family meals can stretch into the evening, and entertaining flows effortlessly between inside and out.
Practicality has not been overlooked. A double garage, generous level off-street parking, ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling, NBN to the premises, abundant built-in storage, solar panels and intercom access all contribute to the home's comfort, efficiency and ease of living.
Ray Heffernan was celebrated for creating homes that exist in harmony with their landscape, and this residence is a wonderful example of his signature designs. Surrounded by mature eucalypts alive with native birdlife, the home offers a rare sense of peace, privacy and connection to nature without sacrificing convenience.
Families will appreciate being just minutes from Mt Nelson Primary School, Hobart College, the local shop, pharmacy, cafés and public transport, while Hobart's CBD is only ten minutes away. Combining architectural beauty with warmth, flexibility and timeless family appeal, this is a truly exceptional opportunity to secure one of Hobart's most spectacular, and unforgettable homes.
