Sitting high above the Kettering Marina with expansive water views, this approximately 30 acre property with amazing architect designed home will simply take your breath away! Walking into this gorgeous home you are immediately taken with the indoor / outdoor feel, the spaciousness of the open plan main living area and the beautiful views. Entry is through a most attractive door into a hall with lead-light window and water-feature wall giving a delicious hint of what is to come - and it doesn't disappoint!
By renowned builder Rowan Reynolds, this innovative, architect designed home is a real prize. In 2007 it made the Mercury Magazine's 50 Best Tasmanian Houses list. Solid myrtle floors lead you into the beautifully proportioned living area where you are immediately struck by the cosiness of a large fireplace in its own highly individual rock-wall alcove and the adaptability of the very free and open living area. This space flows seamlessly to the outside with huge double-glazed picture windows and doors leading to the comfortably large entertainer deck and the stunning marina views below. You can observe your boat in the marina, or watch the ferry's entire journey from Roberts Point on Bruny Island across the channel, all from the deck. The attractive light bush garden adds to the ambience and privacy but doesn't detract from the views. No real need for curtains and blinds here!
The lovely myrtle floors continue throughout the living area to an enviable chef's kitchen and defined dining area. The gorgeous kitchen features all European appliances - Asko gas 5 burner stainless steel cook-top and range-hood, Miele wall over and Bosch concealed dishwasher. A myrtle topped island bench and breakfast bar with plenty of drawer space under, stainless steel worktops, ample cupboards and deep drawers complete this elegant kitchen. At either end of this approximately 9 metre cube is another defined space - a second carpeted lounge or TV room off the dining area and a study with handy built-in computer and work bench on the other side.
Set in its own approximately 8 metre cube, the master suite (that wouldn't be out of place in a 5 star hotel), comprises of a large bedroom overlooking both the wonderful water views and a private bush garden sectioned off the cube, a huge bathroom with myrtle bench top, underfloor heating, heated towel rails, concealed cupboards, picture window and a large open shower stall and a very generous concealed walk-in robe.
Another approximately 8 metre cube on the other side of the living area yields 2 double bedrooms, both with large built-in wardrobes and good views, another large and equally stylish bathroom, a laundry and an enclosed sun-room. The latter leads to a fully netted vegetable garden with raised beds, attractive pathways and rock walls. This, and the overall shape of the home, is reminiscent of a provincial French farmhouse. The family bathroom, also with under floor heating and heated towel rails, is a light filled space featuring a large spa bath and this time an attractive Huon pine benchtop. A door closes off this wing if needed, ensuring guest privacy.
The final icing on the cake? A huge shed with power, a third bathroom, more office or storage space and what was once and could easily be again, a commercial kitchen with stainless steel work benches intact. In addition there are 5 water tanks, a state of the art Envirocycle waste disposal system, ducted vacuum system, solar panels and a separate solar hot water system. The living area is double glazed, with Smart Glass throughout the rest of the house. Too good to miss, all buyers in this price bracket should look at this home.
