In one of Sandy Bay's most admired and tightly held lifestyle pockets, this beautifully cared-for double-brick home offers something increasingly hard to find: level, private, move-in-ready living within an easy walk of the beach, shops, cafés, clubs and parks.
Set in the prized Nutgrove area, 5 Heathorn Avenue places you moments from the waterfront, with nearby walking links to Nutgrove Beach and Long Beach, while Lower Sandy Bay's everyday conveniences are close at hand. From grocers, butchers and cafés to pharmacy, post office/news outlet options, parks, bowls, croquet and open green spaces, this is a location where the car can often stay parked. Nutgrove Beach and Long Beach are both well-known Sandy Bay foreshore destinations, with Long Beach also close to the reserve playground and Lower Sandy Bay shops.
The home itself has been immaculately maintained and presents with a quiet confidence that only solid homes of this era can offer. Double-brick construction, generous room sizes, timber detailing, character windows and a warm sense of privacy all combine with practical modern updates to create a home that feels immediately comfortable.
The floor plan is wonderfully flexible. A spacious kitchen with excellent storage, island bench, wall oven and dishwasher connects easily with the living and dining zone, while a separate lounge or third bedroom provides valuable versatility. Use it as a formal sitting room, children's retreat, guest room, work-from-home space or simply as the third bedroom when needed.
Accommodation is generous, with the main bedroom enjoying a walk-in robe and the remaining bedrooms offering excellent proportions. Two bathrooms add genuine convenience, including a beautifully modernised main bathroom with a large walk-in shower, separate bath and toilet. The second bathroom, positioned near the laundry, adds further practicality for guests, family or those planning for long-term ease of living.
This is a home that will strongly appeal to downsizers, retirees, professional couples and small families alike. The level setting, easy internal layout, modern walk-in shower and low-fuss garden spaces make day-to-day living simple, while the privacy and walkability of the address make the lifestyle exceptional.
Outside, established gardens frame the home beautifully, with private places to sit, entertain or enjoy time with children and grandchildren. A rear deck flows from the kitchen, while the fenced frontage, wide street setting, carport, garage/storage and off-street parking all add to the home's practicality.
Lovingly and carefully maintained throughout the current ownership, the home presents in immaculate condition and is absolutely ready to move straight into. At the same time, it offers the kind of solid, well-kept foundation where a new owner can simply enjoy it as it is, or gradually introduce their own cosmetic style over time without any urgency.
In a suburb long regarded as one of Tasmania's most exclusive, and in a pocket where opportunities are rarely released, 5 Heathorn Avenue is a home of comfort, quality and enduring lifestyle appeal.
