With a stunning position on the hillside of Sandy Bay, this large family home takes in the sweeping views over Hobart and all day sun.
A flowering gum at the end of Cheverton Parade marks the discreet driveway that opens up into a spacious front yard.
The sloping path provides easy access to the porch, a charming entry enhanced by jasmine, rosemary and climbers. Inside the front door, the spacious foyer opens through double doors into a generous formal lounge space, where the eye is immediately drawn to the wide picture windows looking east to the river, Meehan ranges in the distance, and the vast blue sky.
An open fireplace is a cosy focus of the room, set between timber cabinetry. However, cosy as it is, the fireplace will seldom be needed, with all-day sun flooding the living areas and three of the four bedrooms, as well as ducted heating ? both valuable attributes for Hobart living.
The lounge room flows through to the formal dining space, capturing the best views with its north-east aspect. From here, divided by a sliding door, you enter the contemporary kitchen with a striking black and white palette, overlooking the casual living space that in turn flows out to a large balcony. The elevated position provides the vantage point from which to entertain or simply relax while soaking up the vista from Lambert Rivulet bush reserve, across Hobart to the River Derwent.
Back inside, the three double bedrooms, main bathroom and separate toilet branch off the central corridor, leading to the master suite. A private haven, the master suite has a large window taking in the view, a walk-through wardrobe and ensuite. Double doors connect this space one of the bedrooms, opening up many uses for the room, such as a convenient nursery or private study.
The expansive, low-maintenance backyard is tiered to provide level areas on the gently sloping block. Gates on either side of the house provide a fully fenced yard, perfect for pets or young children to safely play.
With a double garage underneath and wide driveway, there is plenty of room for multiple cars, or storage for a trailer, boat or caravan. Within easy walking distance to the university, nearby schools and frequent bus services.
