Having title to high watermark is merely one of the appealing features of this stylish four bedroom home in Lower Sandy Bay. Built over two levels, the beautiful views of the River Derwent are maximised. Situated on the lower slopes of Alexandra Battery, a gentle gradient from Sandy Bay Road ensures a sense of privacy and seclusion in this most sought-after position.
This solid brick house was designed and built in 1936 in the classic Art Deco-cum-P&O style reflecting the elegant, classic era of the ocean liner. While the home has undergone a vast renovation since the 1930s, the fabulous features of streamlined curved walls, simple skirting boards and rounded, geometrically decorated fireplaces have been retained. Wide steps descend from the three car off-street parking area to the front door, edged by an easy-care sculptured garden. On the upper level of the home is a comfortable sitting room with French doors opening to a covered patio that captures the afternoon sun, while a second set of French doors lead to a sunroom and beautiful water views beyond. The primary bedroom shares these tranquil views and with its easterly aspect, greets the sun as it rises over the Eastern Shore. An expansive en suite with quality fixtures and fittings is behind the bedroom, while a walk through wardrobe leads to a second bathroom and bedroom.
Carpeted stairs descend to two more bedrooms and a spacious bathroom-cum-laundry, before opening onto the main living area. The state-of-the-art galley style kitchen has a long stainless steel workbench, with a stone topped freestanding bench separating the kitchen from the spacious dining and living areas. Tas oak polished boards and rugs throughout create a warm mood, while large picture windows surround the area, bringing in the garden and river views. Sliding doors open onto a courtyard and deck with a second sundeck extending towards the water. A paver path down the sweeping lawn leads to solid steps and railing giving access to the boatshed and beach below.
This property is within walking distance of Lower Sandy Bay village with its cafés, shops, and other facilities, along with the popular boardwalk around the bay and beyond to Nutgrove Beach. The recreation areas of Sandown Park, children's playground, and the Sandy Bay Sailing and Croquet Clubs are also close-by. Both private and public schools, daycare centres and UTAS are easily accessible by either car, on foot or via the regular bus service, as is the Hobart CBD.
