2/13 Margaret Street, Sandy Bay TAS 7005

The extensive home at 2/13 Margaret Street is a haven in the middle of one of Sandy Bay’s most sought-after precincts. Set well back from the street down an internal laneway, the 1956 sqm block enjoys views of the river and yachts at the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania from a private location.

Approaching the house from the tree-lined drive, the heated pool, as seen through the picture windows of the atrium, is a fabulous first impression. The front foyer leads to a formal lounge incorporating a marble hearth and gas fireplace. Double glass doors lead through to the heart of the home. This large area is an open, flowing space that is subtly segmented into separate rooms.

To the left, the white kitchen cabinetry is enhanced by the sunlight from skylights above the bench top. Sliding doors provide access for catering to the adjacent outdoor entertaining area.

The dining area can easily accommodate seating for a dozen guests, with sliding glass on two sides providing a seamless transition to the outdoor entertaining area. A casual living area is adjacent to the dining area, while a central wood heater provides the whole area with cosy comfort in the cooler months. Another more secluded living area is separated with double glass doors, with a timber feature wall and double sliding doors onto the deck, and views across the garden to the river beyond.

Half of the first floor is occupied by the master suite, comprising a spacious walk-in robe, stylish en suite with full bath by the window, and a private balcony looking out to the river. Down the hall are two double bedrooms, each with built-in robes, and a family bathroom at the end of the hall.

Downstairs, a separate wing houses the remaining three bedrooms as well as two bathrooms, perfect for private guest accommodation or independence for older children. One bedroom has access to the garden through sliding doors.

The atrium at the front of the house houses a 9 metre, solar heated pool, as well as sauna and bathroom. Adjoining this room is a spacious rumpus room, currently used for billiards. At the end of the atrium is internal access to the double garage and additional storage room.

2/13 Margaret Street is a grand family home. Its fantastic location in the centre of a bustling, popular suburb is matched by its seclusion, absolute privacy and river views. Within a short walking distance to the Marieville Esplanade waterfront, Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania, Sandy Bay shops and supermarkets and historic Battery Point.
