In a prime position on one of Sandy Bay’s most exclusive streets, this spacious property is a family home of luxurious proportions. With 663 sqm of living over three levels, this home has been designed for comfortable, sumptuous living in Hobart’s finest location.
The unique position of 11 Ellington Road provides it with commanding, panoramic views as well as a large, 1472 sqm, flat block - a rare combination in Hobart. With driveway access from Dresden Street and pedestrian access from Ellington Road, the main entry of the home sits in the middle of house on the northern side, sunlight streaming through the oversized timber and glass door and surrounding glazing.
Upon entering the home, the eye is immediately drawn to the floor-to-ceiling windows that capture the theatre of the ever-changing sky and river scenes. The clean, white palette accentuates the mesmerising vista outside, whilst also drawing the light throughout the spacious ground floor. The large open living space is divided into discrete zones, with swathes of warm timber flooring and areas of inlaid carpet providing definition and textural contrast. The sleek cabinetry of the kitchen is in harmony with the surrounding space, with an island bench providing a focus for casual living overlooking the lounge. The adjacent dining space is serviced by a separate entertainment servery.
The unique verve of this property happens when the folding doors are drawn back, and the living space extends to out to the deep verandah, the perfect viewpoint from which to take in the home’s stunning position. Barely 400m from the river’s edge, the home’s elevated position provides a panoramic outlook of Hobart’s most loved landmarks. This spacious area can accommodate recliners in the sun, outdoor cooking facilities and a generous outdoor setting with room to spare.
Back inside, a sweeping timber staircase leads to the bedrooms on the first floor, where the cool, contemporary style is tempered with plush carpet and warm lighting. The master suite and a large bedroom with en suite sit at the front of the house, each with a wall of windows to take full advantage of the magnificent view, and access to a shared balcony. The master suite has walk-in robes, an en suite and separate toilet. Two more bedrooms sit at the rear of the house, with an outlook to distant hills and windows set high to capture extra light. Each of these rooms has an en suite; one with a full bath. On the landing, sliding glass panels reveal a private study, with inbuilt desk and timber shelves.
The luxury continues on the lower ground floor, with a 15 metre resort-style indoor pool and gym area. While access to the pool is from internal stairs, sliding doors open the room to the front lawn, creating seamless outdoor access for the warmer months.
All ages are catered for in the backyard. A fenced area next to the house provides a safe place for little ones to play, while the driveway and extensive lawn area completes the low maintenance landscaped garden. Double gates on the driveway provide an extra safety precaution. Also with a C-Bus system controlling lights, blinds, heating and comfort throughout, this home is state-of-the-art livable luxury.
