Situated in a prime Lower Sandy Bay location overlooking the River Derwent, this solid home enjoys an elevated position, is soaked in sunshine and enjoys access to the beach via a private right of way and a set of well constructed steps - built by the owners themselves.
It is the type of property that would make a wonderful renovation project with an excellent floor plan and solid construction although, given that it also comprises a generous parcel of gently sloping land with a broad frontage to Sandy Bay Road and side lane access, it might also provide for a more significant re-development opportunity (STCA).
Upon entry, the high ceilings above and polished floorboards below immediately invite you to enjoy a home with old world charm and striking water views stretching across to Hobart’s Eastern Shore.
The main level of the home features multiple living areas – most with large windows to showcase the incredible vista. The wide hallway leads to a comfortable family living room where you can unwind and take in the view. This room leads to a private sun-drenched terrace via glass sliding doors and provides an ideal place for outdoor entertaining or to enjoy breakfast while watching the boats drift by. This room has plenty of in-built shelving and a converted fireplace with mantle.
Stepping through to the formal dining, this room is encased by windows. With the River as your backdrop.
From the formal living room, you’ll find a sunroom which is exactly that – wrapped with windows and enjoying all-day sunshine. This room could double as another bedroom if needed.
The other bedrooms are also located on the upper level. The master enjoys corner windows and views of the water and there are plenty of built-in wardrobes and shelving.
The bathroom has been designed for easy access with a walk-in shower with adjustable shower head. There’s also a modern vanity, shelving and cupboard space and a toilet. Additional bathroom storage is located across the hall and a separate powder room is conveniently situated nearby.
The large country style kitchen boasts ample cupboard, drawer and bench space and features a double sink, stove and rangehood.
The lower level has an abundance of storage space – ideal for a workshop or to be converted into a rumpus room or additional bedroom. The laundry is also located on this level and is accessible directly from the undercover double car port.
Located in a prime position, this property is just minutes from the bustle of Sandy Bay and a short drive to Hobart’s CBD and offers a choice of beaches along the foreshore to call your own. This fantastic family home with breathtaking water views that stretch across the River and beyond can be enjoyed as is or renovated or redeveloped to suit your lifestyle.
