1 Church Point Road, Risdon TAS 7017

This spectacular waterside property is one of the most remarkable homes we have had the privilege to take to the market on the Eastern Shore of Hobart. An inspired and architecturally designed home with panoramic views across the Derwent River, on a large and private land parcel backing onto bush Reserve, with a highly versatile floorplan comprising dual living areas, ample accommodation, modern bathroom facilities, enormous decking and outdoor entertaining area and beautiful established grounds and gardens.

The heart of the home is the ground level living area with a stunning triangular open-air atrium and feature pendant lighting. The fully glazed wall faces near due north allowing sun and light to flood through the home all day long. There is a glazed dining area or sitting nook to enjoy a meal or unwind and relax overlooking the ever-changing views across the water, which extend to the Bowen Bridge to Mount Direction. Folding glass doors also open to an expansive deck area which flows seamlessly to the manicured grounds with lovely mature plants and trees and extensive sandstone retaining walls. There is an in-built trampoline for kids play and a hot tub to enjoy long summer nights under the stars.

The modern kitchen is a custom design with stone benchtops and breakfast bar, very well appointed with quality appliances and beautiful polished Tas Oak flooring. The living area also features a central wood heater with brick hearth and stone wall creating a beautiful ambience, with a reverse-cycle heat pump to ensure comfort and convenience all year round. The property also has a solar system and LED lighting for optimal energy efficiency, and an alarm system and CCTV for security.

A staircase leads to the upper level sleeping quarters with a feature skylight window and second living area with sliding glass doors opening to a balcony capturing the vista over the river. The master bedroom is a wonderful space with WIR and sleek ensuite bathroom featuring floor to ceiling tiles, wall hung vanity, skylight window and quality tapware. There is also a private balcony to enjoy a morning coffee or a quiet evening refreshment. Also on the upper level are three additional bedrooms, 2 with built-in robes, which are serviced by the stunning family bathroom with a spectacular raked window section, walk-in-shower with soaker shower head, separate bath and timber vanity unit. The open lounge area is a terrific communal space for children as a rumpus room and achieves separation when desired.

One of the most versatile areas of the home is the 5th bedroom on the lower level, separated from the main house with independent access via the garage or rear garden. The room features a spectacular internal stone wall and is ideal for an older teenager or for guest accommodation. It could just as easily be utilised as a hobby or games room, music room or library. The home also offers plenty of parking space with a circular two-way drive leading to a secure double garage, with internal access, with ample room for additional cars, a boat, camper or trailer.

The home has been the select venue for a wide variety of events ranging from weddings and birthday celebrations to club and group functions and of course a gorgeous Christmas Day. The property is undoubtedly one of the most unique homes to hit the market and an incredibly rare opportunity to secure your own slice of heaven.
