Last Listing description (June 2016)
The light just bounces around this spacious and private sanctuary on top of the world. Located in one of the most sought after streets in Sandy Bay with breathtaking views from almost every room in the house, this is a prestige property of the highest order.
The entrance is on the middle level of this three-storey, four bedroom, three bathroom home. On entering the large open plan kitchen, living/dining area, guests are immediately floored by the panoramic view of the Derwent River, Tasman Bridge and Sandy Bay. Not only does this part of the house have huge windows at the front, but sliding doors at the side open onto a polished concrete deck with glass rail, and another uninterrupted land and seascape. With vaulted ceilings and windows on three sides, plus a wood heater, this space feels light, calm and totally spectacular.
The kitchen has wooden bench tops and loads of bench space, a walk in pantry, double sink, lots of cupboards plus a breakfast bar. There can t be many kitchens around with a view like this one!
On the other side of the deck (and accessible to the deck with sliding doors), is a living room with floor to ceiling windows and vaulted ceilings. It is a beautiful room, again with uninterrupted views. Behind this an office/living space with lovely carpet leads down a hallway to another bathroom, with shower and bath. There is a separate toilet on this level plus a well-lit bedroom.
A carpetted stairway at the back of the house leads to what feels like a master bedroom in the sky. This magnificent light filled bedroom must have one of the best views in Hobart. It is private and quiet with an ensuite, built in wardrobe and walk in wardrobe.
Most people would be sold on this house as soon as they enter. But, if anyone with a family still needs convincing, the lower level should seal the deal! What a surprise to descend the stairs and then find what seems to be a spacious apartment with its own private, undercover deck (with a bedroom on either side). What s more, the views are as spectacular down here as they are everywhere else!
Both bedrooms have amazing views, one has a built in wardrobe and the other (which is huge), a walk in. There is a big bathroom, which includes a large bath, plus a hallway with a large storage cupboard. The laundry is enormous with lots of bench space (room for a kitchenette??), plus there are two more massive subfloor storage areas (See floor plan). The lock up double garage is accessible from inside the house as well.
This home is huge, yet the intimate feel has not been sacrificed. This is one of the building s standout features. Because it is on three levels, all the important rooms have the same incredible views, yet the people who live in it have the luxury of privacy when they need it. The fact there is a bathroom and toilet on each level makes having guests to stay even more comfortable.
This is a prestigious address and a magnificent home, but there is nothing ostentatious about it. It is understated with the wow factor that only design and location can produce. It is a prime piece of real estate and an investment that will make one lucky buyer very proud to own.
