There is something quite special about a property that offers a genuine connection to the water, and this Sandy Bay Road home presents an increasingly rare opportunity to secure a substantial family home with its own private waterfront access.
Set privately back from the road, this expansive residence unfolds across three levels, capturing beautiful, uninterrupted River Derwent views and an abundance of natural sunlight. Held within the same family for more than 30 years, the property offers a wonderful sense of history, with the space, scale and setting to create something truly special for generations to come.
The entry level provides generous family accommodation, comprising four bedrooms and two family bathrooms, with the outlook across the water providing a beautiful backdrop to everyday living. A double garage at street level adds welcome practicality, with a substantial workshop/store room and steps to the home.
Descending to the central living level, the kitchen, dining and living areas come together in a generous open-plan arrangement, designed to make the most of the spectacular water views. Floor to ceiling windows capture the view and extend the living space onto an expansive concrete entertaining deck, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out, and the perfect setting to enjoy long summer afternoons overlooking the harbour.
The lower level offers further flexibility, with a substantial rumpus room providing an ideal retreat for teenagers, additional living space or a dedicated entertaining zone. A separate laundry, complete with shower and toilet, adds further convenience. From here, the property continues outdoors to productive terraced gardens, established fruit trees and landscaped tiers that lead all the way down to the waterfront. A private track provides direct access to the shoreline and your very own beach, an extraordinary feature that makes this property so unique.
Additional amenities included extensive solar panels with battery storage to keep operating costs at a minimum. Positioned within easy reach of leading schools, local amenities and public transport, the location offers both convenience and an enviable coastal lifestyle.
Properties offering this combination of scale, privacy, established gardens and direct waterfront access are seldom available. After more than three decades in one family's hands, it represents a truly generational opportunity to secure a remarkable piece of Hobart's waterfront.
