17 Wandeet Place, Sandy Bay TAS 7005

Sixties Style and Sensational Harbour Views

Wandeet Place enjoys a quiet, elevated position just up from Sandy Bay Road off both Red Chapel and Willowdene Avenues.
A mere drive by will not suffice here as number 17 represents the veritable 'best kept secret'… constructed in the 1960s to hug the topography of the generous 1027m2 allotment, only the studio/garage is visible from the street, the house cleverly concealed from the streetscape.

Surrounded by beautiful gardens, the residence is designed to capture not only the fabulous water spectacle but also an abundance of natural sunlight which floods the interiors. Polished timber floors gleam and reflect the light giving a wonderful first impression.
An expansive living and dining space opens through sliding glass doors to a generously proportioned balcony perfect for entertaining, whilst providing a seamless indoor/outdoor connection. The kitchen is modern and well equipped with gorgeous vistas over the Japanese garden towards the eastern shore.
A fabulous freestone open fireplace in this space is very mid century and a 'nod' to the Sixties architectural style.

The accommodation extends over one level and comprises 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, one of which serves as an ensuite for two of the bedrooms. Built in wardrobes provide storage. The master bedroom is lovely, spacious and private.
There is a dedicated laundry with adjacent access to the rear garden and lower level storage area, complete with a gardener's toilet for convenience. There is huge potential to develop this area further with loads of space for a workshop or home gym, with a shade house at the other end. There is also plumbing in situ to install a shower if desired.
The gardens deserve special mention being not only full of seasonal colour but productive too with an assortment of fruit trees including a Fig, Pear, Apricot and Citrus. A hedge of blueberries and a raspberry patch are serviced by a Hydrawise irrigation system with 7 stations.
Secure off street parking with a garage 5.8 x 5.4 m2 which also provides extra storage and was once home to a pottery studio. Stunning views from here as well… a great spot to set up a home office independent of the main household.

This property is certain to engender competitive interest given its prime location with blue ribbon real estate in the vicinity. A fine selection of schools are nearby as are village retail outlets and cafes on the beachfront in Lower Sandy Bay. The possibilities to add capital value here are endless!
