Elevated above one of Sandy Bay’s most sought after streets, this spacious family home provides a level of stylish comfort you’ll be hard pressed to find anywhere else.
Upon arrival, via the elegant entrance framed with stained-glass, the high ceilings and open hallway frame the expanse of this remarkable family home.
The first of four bedrooms sit towards the front with built-in robes, a converted fireplace with mantle and a seat under the bay windows to soak in the afternoon sun. Further along, two more bedrooms are conveniently located – one with built-in robes and a fireplace – and the other enjoying a coveted walk-in dressing room and en-suite with a shower, toilet, vanity and overhead heating.
Down the broad hallway, lined with chic lighting fixtures, sits the spacious family kitchen. The exposed brick and designer over-bench lighting create a relaxing ambience for fine dining or casual family meals. The solid wood benchtops provide plenty of space for culinary preparation, with ample cupboard space available and quality appliances at your fingertips, including a Miele dishwasher and five-burner gas stovetop.
The generous combined dining area is perfect for entertaining guests, with double doors opening directly to the rear decked courtyard overlooking the pool and gardens.
Through to the first of two additional living areas where a drop-down projector screen and Bose surround sound system creates the ideal space for family movie nights on the couch. A cleverly designed push-open cupboard neatly stores entertainment essentials out of view whilst a sitting room or study adjoins this space with built-in shelving and large windows.
Comfort flows through to the formal lounge area at the front of the house with double doors that open onto the veranda. A glorious fire place adds to the cosy atmosphere. The stylish touches are consistent throughout this home, with white shutters, polished timber floorboards and brand-new plush carpet in the living areas. You’ll also be cossetted in year round warmth thanks to the ducted gas central heating system throughout the home.
The family bathroom boasts elegance and comfort with underfloor heating and stylish fixtures. It comes complete with a luxurious tub with floor-mounted tap, a walk-in glass shower with convenient recess shelving, toilet and stylish benchtops with tiled splashback.
The European laundry resides within the spacious hall cabinets, leaving plenty of room for storing essentials.
The level garden is perfect for families and pets, and the timber deck provides the ideal space for al fresco dining and entertaining. The fully secured pool features a solar-controlled cover, and the established fruit trees – including limes, lemons, nectarines, apples and apricots – and veggie patches ensure fresh produce is always on-hand.
The garage below provides security for storage and vehicles, with additional off-street parking available on the driveway. The garage can also be accessed by a doorway under the house.
With glimpses of both the River Derwent and the mountain to the West, this Sandy Bay address is within close proximity to some of Hobart’s best schools, restaurants, shops and the University. Cosy throughout the colder months and ideal for family summers around the pool, this home provides year-round comfortable living at the highest level.
