Positioned in an enviable absolute waterfront setting, this original 1950s home captures uninterrupted views across the River Derwent to the iconic kunanyi / Mount Wellington, presenting a rare opportunity to secure a property rich in character, future potential, and direct access to the water's edge.
Set on a substantial 1,396sqm parcel of land extending to the waterline, the home retains much of its original charm, with vibrant timber features, decorative ceiling roses, and ornate cornices that speak to the craftsmanship of its era. The classic weatherboard exterior further enhances its timeless appeal.
A welcoming front concrete verandah sets the tone, while inside, generous glazing throughout invites natural light and frames the breathtaking outlook from multiple vantage points, further enhanced by the home's direct connection to the waterfront.
The layout is both functional and flexible, comprising three bedrooms, a bathroom with separate toilet, and a separate laundry with direct outdoor access. A connecting kitchen and lounge form the heart of the home, complemented by a dedicated study and built-in storage throughout. The living area is perfectly positioned to capture sweeping river and mountain views, with the ever-changing waterscape as a constant backdrop.
Stepping outside, a generous rear terrace extends from the lounge, creating an ideal space for entertaining while overlooking the expansive grounds that lead directly to the water's edge.
Under the home, a workshop and additional storage provide excellent practicality, while the expansive backyard includes a storage shed and offers ample room for further enhancement (STCA). With land extending to the shoreline, the property presents a truly rare opportunity to create a remarkable waterfront lifestyle.
The property also benefits from a sealed driveway with plenty of off-street parking behind the home.
