24 Nicholas Drive, Sandy Bay TAS 7005

This will be popular - get in quick before it could be too late!

Located on the highly sought after blue-ribbon Nicholas Drive, known for its stunning water and city views, this home is set across 4 levels. It offers 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms plus a powder room and incorporates a flexible floor plan with a potential separate access living zone to cater for larger families and/or investors.
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a significant property on prestigious Nicholas Drive, which is ready for you to occupy, enjoy, entertain, and call home. With the Sandy Bay median price over $1.4m, considerable value can be added by undertaking even minor improvements or making it your own.
The most incredible 270 degree views are captured in the kitchen and dining area by wall-to-wall glazing including bifold glass doors that open onto a 7m long deck where you can set tables and chairs, a sun lounge, BBQ, and perhaps a herb garden.
Walking through the main entrance on the third floor, you immediately notice the river views framed by beautiful timber work throughout, including raked ceilings. Stand for a moment and you notice how extremely quiet and tranquil it is and can easily imagine yourself soaking up the sun that drenches the light and airy rooms.
The floor plan is flexible with multiple living zones that can variously be used as an additional bedroom, gym, and/or home office. There is also the opportunity to add a second kitchen and create a fantastic spacious self-contained living zone with its own entrance downstairs.
There are many wonderful walks nearby. Approximately 300 metres up the hill there are bush walks to the historic signal station at Mt Nelson (with a lovely café), the famous Dormie house, the Truganini track, and Bicentennial Park. Go straight down the hill and across Sandy Bay Road and there is a path that takes you directly onto the beach. And all those nearby no-through streets in Sandy Bay almost always have a small walking path at the end to take you to another beautiful street or park, so there is almost an endless number of enchanting walks available directly from your front door.
Within easy reach of excellent local schools, UTas, Nutgrove recreational precinct, the cafes and restaurants of Sandy Bay Village, Battery Point and Hobart's CBD, this is a home conveniently close to all amenities including clothes shops, supermarkets and it is only walking distance to award-winning providores such as Hill St Grocers and Lipscombe Larder.
Nicholas Drive is undoubtedly one of Hobart's most tightly held and highly sought after streets. This is an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial holding set high up on this long no-through street where it is wonderfully quiet amongst beautiful multi-million-dollar homes.
