Last Listing description (December 2023)

Perched high above Sandy Bay, perfectly positioned to capture arguably the best panoramic views in the city, sits a remarkable, architecturally designed family home filled with endless sunshine, contemporary comfort, and expansive living.

The property, with a seemingly endless floorplan, was originally designed and constructed by a master builder in the mid-1990s, and since then, has been occupied by just three families.

An exemplary example of modern architecture and comfortable family living, the extensive, solidly built property has been designed to capture the impressive vistas from almost every room in the home across both spacious levels.

Upstairs, from one side of the home to the other, the views follow and further reveal themselves, from the peaks of kunanyi/Mount Wellington, sweeping across the Tasman Bridge and River Derwent, down to the iconic Iron Pot.

Through the Italian marble tiled foyer on the entrance-level, the expanse and spectacular outlooks are immediately evident and eye-catching. At the heart of the home, picture windows, cathedral ceilings, new plush carpet and blackwood accents combine to create a luxuriously appointed, sun-bathed living space where the views are simply unsurpassed.

A gourmet kitchen sits adjacent, with room to dine-in. Polished Tas Oak flooring, rich Jarrah cabinetry, and sleek black granite countertops set the sophisticated tone, along with premium European appliances and plenty of storage.

Ideal for large and growing families with teens, or for guests to enjoy space, peace and privacy with a separate entrance, another generous living area occupies the lower level, also with superb water views.

Magnificent accommodation comprises of up to five bedrooms, where the versatile layout allows for the fifth bedroom option on the upstairs level to serve as a formal dining setting, media room, or a light-filled study or home office.

Each of the four bedrooms contain built-in wardrobes, and each boast stunning views. One bedroom is located downstairs, with the remaining three on the upper-floor. The opulent master suite enjoys multiple storage options,, a generous en-suite, and private access to the terrace.

Numerous bathrooms service the residence across each level. Upstairs, the family bathroom is exceptionally large along with another powder room. Downstairs, the luxurious space features a corner spa bath, shower, sink, and separate storage vanity, and a toilet. Another powder room is located within the garage.

An ultimate entertaining venue, indoors spill out from the main living zone to a sun-drenched terrace, where the ever-changing vistas serve as the perfect backdrop, showcasing the magical views by day, and glistening vistas by night. A remote-controlled pergola extends to offer shade and shelter without disrupting the view. The entrance courtyard provides further space to enjoy the outdoor scenery in an intimate setting.

The modern conveniences are interminable throughout, including underfloor heating in every room with individual thermostats, a ducted vacuum system, double-glazed windows, and three Daikin heat pumps.

The home is well-serviced with well-placed electricity outlets within easy reach in every room, and the paint has been recently updated. An extra-large laundry caters to busy families with ample storage and room for necessary appliances.

A surround-sound system is wired to enjoy across both levels and connected to the wall-mounted flatscreen television within the main lounge room. The home is secured by state-of-the-art alarms and sensor lighting.

The residence is well-positioned, built below street level, allowing for a whisper-quiet living experience and an abundance of privacy through manicured hedges and tall concrete boundaries. The grounds are fully secured with electric, remote-accessed gates.

Landscaped gardens encase the home, with beautiful, established greenery, natives, and florals, irrigated with a sprinkler system. A garden storage room allows for the ease of outdoor maintenance.

An expansive three-car garage offers more than just secure housing for vehicles, with numerous storerooms within. Within the gated grounds, off-street parking for a further three vehicles is provided within the driveway. The home enjoys dual entrances from its desirable corner position.

With such an expansive allotment, there is potential to develop the vacant area and strata to construct an additional dwelling (STCA).

Masterfully crafted to deliver a superior lifestyle many can only dream of, with enviable panoramic views and complete comfort, this exquisite property of palatial proportions is more than just a residence, but a private family haven with a prestigious Sandy Bay address.
