Perched high above Sandy Bay and encased by private hedges, an idyllic and secluded sanctuary awaits with expansive water and city views and spacious style.

Double doors invite you into the impressive entrance with new carpet throughout. A grand staircase leads to the upper level of the home, with wide walkways and elegant lighting.

The first level of the expansive residence is light-filled and warm, with large windows capturing the all-day sun; each room retaining the natural warmth. The spacious living area showcases the majestic vista and opens into a formal dining room with custom-built shelving and the River Derwent as your backdrop.

The practical and polished kitchen has been re-designed to ensure maximum functionality and modern convenience. Solid benchtop and cupboards provide plentiful storage and there’s an enviable walk-in pantry. A stylish stainless-steel splashback sparkles within the contemporary setting, and quality appliances, including an Electrolux oven and warming drawer, Sharp microwave, Fisher & Paykel fridge and dishwasher and an electric stovetop and rangehood complete the culinary space.

Continuing on the upper level, three generous bedrooms are located. The master suite, with views Mount Nelson and the Bicentenial Park via double glazed windows, features an en-suite with toilet, shower and vanity, and doubles as a walk-in dressing room with internal closets.

There are a further two bedrooms, each with built-ins, with one ideal for a study or home office. Through this room, you’ll find a sunroom where you can catch water views and warmth while enjoying your morning coffee.

The bathroom on this level is large enough for the whole family. The bath and shower have recently enjoyed re-enamelling, and there’s Tastic heat lighting for year-round comfort. Nearby, a separate power room is located with additional privacy doors. The laundry contains an abundance of space and storage, and comes equipped with a washer, dryer and trough.

Downstairs, a second living area or very generous fourth bedroom is located, which could even be utilised as semi S/C accommodation. There’s an en-suite with shower, vanity, overhead heating and separate toilet, and the space can be accessed externally via a private door. If required, there is an option for select furniture and appliances to remain in-situ.

The home contains an abundance of storage space. Large linen closets are located upstairs, with two under-house storage rooms within the garage and a wine cellar and additional stowage nestled under the stairs. Ducted reverse cycle air throughout and a brand-new hot water system add to the home’s comfort.

The garage is large enough to house two vehicles and includes room for storage, or a place to park bikes or set up a home gym. Off-street parking is available within the drive. Double roller doors provide security, and the house is also fitted with a state-of-the-art alarm system.

The grounds of the home are truly spectacular and have been immaculately and lovingly maintained. Manicured lawns beg for family picnics and year-round florals and rosebushes bloom under the established trees and hedges. There’s a built-in brick BBQ nook, shaded from above, for outdoor entertaining and dining. Fully fenced and secure, the residence is ideal for children and pets.

With privacy paramount but still only a few minutes from the University of Tasmania, The Hutchins School and the nearby Waimea Heights Primary School, this wonderful residence offers a unique lifestyle of living centrally within the heart of Sandy Bay while providing enough seclusion to feel as though you’re miles away from the city.
