14 Garth Avenue, Sandy Bay TAS 7005

Presented for sale for only the second time since it was built in 1936 and desirably positioned in a quiet and private enclave of Old Sandy Bay offering magnificent water views, this substantial brick family home is awash with potential. Displaying many original art deco features and workmanship that is almost impossible to replicate, it presents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a solidly built, character filled family home.

Set over two levels, the flexible floorplan provides for comfortable living offering a generous lounge room with an open fireplace and water views. A reception maintaining original features, currently used as a formal dining room, has an adjacent sun room looking out to the River Derwent. The kitchen accommodates casual dining and a study with fireplace and utility room with powder room complete the floorplan on this level.

The stairwell makes a statement and is filled with light from a large antique glass picture window. The magnificent staircase reveals the master bedroom with walk-in robe, a second bedroom with powder room, a third single bedroom and fourth bedroom with sunroom. These rooms are serviced by a central bathroom and separate WC. Again, the flexibility of the upstairs floorplan lends itself to a range of configurations to suit modern family living.

Ornate timber work, original mantels and deco ceiling roses add to the ambience of this beautiful home. Framed by a well fenced, established English garden befitting of the property, gated off street parking and a garage and workshop provide further amenity. In excellent condition throughout, there is scope to implement cosmetic enhancements to suit your personal taste.

Close to Fahan, The Hutchins School, Utas, public transport and the shops, cafes and amenities of Sandy Bay, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a stunning art deco family home that already satisfies so many of the requirements of modern family living, in this tightly held and sought after location.
