From the moment you get your first glimpse of this classic Hampton style waterside home, you will be mesmerised. The term 'rare' is often overused when describing real estate - not this time. It's rare that style and elegance can also be casual and comfy - this is not accidental, it's clever. A result of masterful designing with attention to detail, a priority. A home that's been created with love and care.

Positioned right on the edge of the beautiful Derwent River - all that's between this incredible home and Wrest Point is water! The living spaces all flow naturally and open onto a huge, picture perfect deck. The interplay from the inside of the house to the outside, with bi-folding doors from all living areas, is simply a work of art. The stunning Karri hardwood floorboards throughout are recycled bridge beams from architectural timbers, brought down from Kempsey, NSW.

The kitchen, featuring two sinks and large walk-in pantry, is a showstopper and the casual dining and living spaces can comfortably accommodate the largest of gatherings but also offer the seclusion of intimate dining occasions. All options are covered.

You could be forgiven for thinking that the two double bedrooms downstairs are the complete sleeping package - but wait - there's more! On entering the west wing, get ready to be gobsmacked. Centre stage and perfectly positioned is the main bedroom with French style doors opening onto yet another deck. To the right is a spacious bathroom featuring a superb free standing bath and behind is an exquisite shower and vanity. Of course, there is a library/study on this level and a reading nook! The 'his and hers' dressing rooms, combined, are the size of a bedroom in your standard home and the built in shoe and accessory racks are pure genius!

If you think you are dreaming, because it all seems too good to be true, enter the east wing where you will find yet another bedroom that could be mistaken for a luxurious main. Dreams really do come true!

Before you head to the temperature controlled wine cellar, sure to thrill the most avid collector, have a look at the impressive double garage which has that all important internal access and an adjacent store room. The gardens and courtyards have been designed with peace and tranquility in mind and the bonus is that they are easy to maintain.

The warmth of the polished Karri hardwood floorboards remain a constant feature throughout, combined perfectly with carpets and tiles in the wet areas. Another feature is the lighting. Although the home captures maximum sunlight, the lighting has been placed with care and precision. As is the laundry - also exceptional, as you begin to expect from this property.

It's a toss of the coin as to which is the most impressive - the incredibly beautiful functional home, that wraps its arms around you and pulls you in for a big hug - or the unbelievable views from just about every living space in the house. No matter how the coin falls, the new owner of this home will hit the jackpot.

Note to all - first time this property has been offered for sale.
