Located only 10 minutes to Hobart CBD, this stunning property in Taroona is a truly unique opportunity to live in an unrivalled and much sought-after position on the banks of the River Derwent.
The home?s style of clean lines and tranquility are established in the Japanese-inspired front courtyard with beautiful maples of different colours and sizes contrasting with the Japanese sliding shoji screen-style sliding panel walls of the adjacent double garage.
The auspicious red front door opens into a foyer of abundant light. Polished wooden stairs lead up to bedrooms on the top floor or down to the living area on the ground floor. Walking down, the eye is immediately drawn to the far end of the room, where a huge window frames the river only metres away.
Every aspect of this home has been designed to take advantage of its exclusive position. The minimalist style of white walls and polished floorboards ensures that nothing distracts from the views of the water and landscaped gardens that surround the house and are framed in picture windows in every room.
From the living area, the room flows around to the dining space, which has double doors that open to reveal a vista along the coastline, adding to the sublime view. Stepping down to a stone flagged terrace, the house is surrounded by lush lawn and abundant garden. A series of timber decks lead down to the waterfront, providing numerous spots from which to sit and take in the panoramic views of the beautiful Derwent River, from the Eastern Shore, to O?Possum Bay and down to Bruny Island. A garden gate leads to a path that runs beside the house, leading to the nearby beach.
Back inside, the kitchen also has views of the coastline. The room is dominated by warm celery-top wooden cabinetry, granite bench-tops and stainless steel accents. A separate generous laundry with external access and small bathroom, leads off the kitchen.
Upstairs the master bedroom extends along the river-front of the house, capturing again a view of the River Derwent that is simply unequalled, bordered by verdant branches of the garden?s mature trees. A further two bedrooms and a bathroom complete the upstairs floor. On the entry level, a second living room has French doors that open onto the courtyard, while a multi purpose room, complete with a wood heater and views to the Japanese courtyard and Mt. Nelson beyond, is located adjacent to the third bathroom.
