732 Sandy Bay Road

Sandy Bay TAS 7005

With uninterrupted views across the River Derwent, this beautifully renovated home was built in the 1950s for one of Tasmania's prominent politicians. Designed by the renowned Hobart architect, I G Anderson, the house is a fine example of the modernist ideas of the times with its large picture windows capturing both views and sunshine, and its skillion roof adding a sense of minimalism: a feature popular again in the 21st Century.

The home is situated down a pebblecrete drive from Sandy Bay Road giving not only privacy, but a sense of peace and quiet. The driveway opens onto an extensive apron that accommodates three parked cars with ample turning space, and gives access to a single garage and the attractive covered entrance to the house.

The home itself is over two levels and has been stylishly renovated to 21st Century tastes. Warm polished wooden floorboards are throughout the upper level and lead from the front door, past a study and powder-room, to the semi-open plan living, dining and kitchen spaces, all of which enjoy the spectacular views over the water and across to the Eastern Shore. From the dining area is a spacious entertaining deck complete with built-in barbecue and continues past the living room, with a return to a secluded hot tub, the views from which are equally superb.
