Positioned proudly within one of Berriedale’s most tightly held and architecturally admired enclaves, 15 Casuarina Crescent is a truly exceptional mid-century modern residence, a home of significance, scale and substance.

Constructed in 1962, and one of the first homes built in this precinct, it was crafted by the same builders responsible for similar homes in the area, a quiet nod to its design lineage.

Set across a remarkable block and a half, with an extraordinary 51-metre frontage, the 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home commands presence, privacy and proportion, rarely found today.

Elevated to capture its surroundings and situated in a quiet cul-de-sac within short walking distance to MONA, the home enjoys a beautiful outlook across to the River Derwent, with a north easterly sunny aspect that floods the interiors in natural light throughout the day. Morning light streams through the main bedroom, living and dining windows, while afternoon sun warms the kitchen, further bedrooms and backyard, a position that enhances both ambience and liveability.

Extensively and meticulously renovated, with works completed in July 2024, this residence has undergone a transformative revival, one that honours its heritage while enhancing every element for contemporary living. The result is not simply a renovation, but a masterful curation of old and new, sympathetic, refined and uncompromising in quality.

From the moment you approach the terrazzo front steps and original double French doors, the home’s authenticity is unmistakable. Inside, the design language of the era unfolds beautifully, with Tas oak floors, myrtle timber panelling and pelmets. Mosaic fireplace tiles, restored original door hardware, iconic accordion doors, timber buffet and window seat further reinforce the MCM charm. These are not reproductions; they are preserved originals.

The two fireplaces remain functional (currently capped), offering future reinstatement should one desire the ambience of a crackling fire beneath original mosaic tile surrounds.

Beneath the preserved aesthetic lies an entirely renewed infrastructure. The home has updated wiring, plumbing and is fully insulated. With solar panels, inverter, battery and provision for EV wall charger, it operates as a fully electric home.

At the heart of the residence lies the kitchen that balances design purity with Miele appliances for enhanced culinary performance. Sophisticated and streamlined, it features soft-closing cabinetry throughout and exquisite ceramic Japanese splashback tiles that reference the home’s era. The adjoining butler’s pantry continues the high specification.

The bathrooms are a masterclass in sympathetic luxury. Terrazzo tiles pay homage to the home’s mid-century origins while high-end Italian vanities, refined fixtures and joinery introduce contemporary elegance. Underfloor heating warms both ensuite and main bathroom, complimented by heated towel rails (with independent controls) and discreet defogging mirrors. Every detail curated for comfort.

A true highlight of the home is its expansive and highly adaptable downstairs level offering versatility rarely seen in mid-century residences.

Here, a substantial rumpus room provides an exceptional secondary living zone, ideal as a games room, children’s retreat, media space or a fourth bedroom. A powder room conveniently services this level, ensuring the lower-level functions independently when needed.

A separate utility room offers flexibility as a home gym, office, studio or craft space, perfect for modern lifestyles that demand adaptable zones for work, creativity or wellbeing.

Further enhancing practicality, downstairs also accommodates a dedicated workshop and extensive under-house storage. The abundance of storage throughout is remarkable, thoughtfully integrated and highly functional.

Window furnishings throughout are equally considered, with Luxaflex Silhouette and roller blinds installed across the home. Motorised, app-controlled blinds feature within the kitchen and main bedroom clerestory windows, currently programmed to open at sunrise and close at sunset, allowing the home to respond naturally to the rhythm of the day.

The laundry features an internal chute, a functional detail not often seen in contemporary homes.

Technology has been seamlessly integrated, including a Eufy five-camera security system with remote app access and a Hunter Irrigation system servicing the landscaped grounds and vegetable beds which is also fully app controlled.

Externally, the gardens elevate the property to an architectural estate. The landscaping is structured yet organic, mature yet restrained, a landscape that complements rather than competes with the home’s architectural form. Bespoke weathering steel vegetable beds, integrated within the design, ensure productivity and ease. The back garden is fully fenced and gated.

The breadth of the frontage, the absence of immediate neighbouring homes and the maturity of the planting create a sense of privacy and stature seldom achieved in established suburbs.

What has been achieved at 15 Casuarina Crescent is extraordinarily rare:
· A true mid-century modern home, authentic, preserved and respectfully elevated.
· An extensive renovation executed to an uncompromising standard.
· A fully electric, energy-efficient future-ready residence.
· Architectural landscaping by recognised designer.
· Smart technology integrated without visual disruption.

Everything has been done and done properly.
For interstate buyers, mid-century enthusiasts and discerning local purchasers alike, this is a landmark offering.
Homes of this calibre, scale and integrity seldom become available in Tasmania.

15 Casuarina Crescent is not simply a home, it is a legacy property, ready for its next chapter.
