25a Waterworks Rd, Dynnyrne is a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom House and was built in 2015. The property has a land size of 25300m2 and floor size of 268m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in April 2011.
Offered to market for the first time since construction, this much loved family home is a statement in design. A superb example of the P&O architectural style, named such for the Peninsula and Orient shipping company, given the dwelling's ship like boldness with curved frontages and strong horizontal lines, the home enjoys an elevated position in Dynnyrne taking in mesmerising 270 degree views from Mt Wellington, sweeping the River Derwent down to Wrest Point.
Architecture enthusiasts will be interested to know that its builder/owner Dudley Webb added an extra level to the design and set to work recycling 83,000 salvaged bricks retrieved from T.J Cane's workshop and other buildings being demolished. The curved corner windows of the main rooms have continuous 9ft glazing, believed by its manufacturer Giffards to have been one of the longest spans of curved glass in Australia at the time. Romantics will be interested to know that Dudley built the home upon request of his wife Doreen, who spotted a photo of the house in the pages of Australia's Pix Magazine and asked Dudley if they could build a house just like it for them and their four children. Held in the family for almost 60 years, this is a superb opportunity to acquire a distinctive family home in a sought after locale.
Set across three levels, the ground floor is dedicated to living with a living room and sitting room adjacent to either side of the entry foyer, dining room leading into the kitchen, bedroom/study and powder room and laundry facilities. A substantial, north facing deck takes in views and sunshine, the perfect spot for your morning coffee and twilight vino. A single car garage is accessed from the level, rear entrance.
The curved staircase to the upper level reveals the private master suite with ensuite bathroom, two further double bedrooms, study and central bathroom and separate WC. The upstairs balcony is arguably one of the best vantage points to watch the NYE fireworks and arrival of the Sydney to Hobart yachts. The lower ground floor enhances the flexibility of the home, accommodating a self-contained apartment comprising open plan living/dining and kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom.
Situated on a generous allotment of 1583sqm, with dual entrances allowing for the possibility of subdivision STCA. The property is surrounded by low maintenance, terraced gardens. There is off street parking for up to 6 vehicles and a second garage of 7m x 5.7m. Character filled and of solid double brick construction, contemporary updates and some double glazing enhance the amenity of the home.
This quiet and established neighbourhood is within easy reach of excellent schools and the shops, cafes and facilities of both South Hobart and Sandy Bay Villages. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a property of substantial proportions and become the next custodian of this much loved family home.
