26 Illawong Crescent, Taroona TAS 7053

This unique property enjoys one of the most idyllic positions in Hobart, seemingly suspended in a canopy of trees on a large virtual waterfront allotment above the southern end of Hinsby Beach with coastal reserve bushland on its east and southern boundaries ensuring complete privacy.

With breathtaking views of the Derwent River Estuary and Storm Bay beyond, this spectacular residence was designed by renowned architect Ray Heffernan, where the landscape and water are framed by windows in every room. Heffernan found inspiration in the functional aesthetic with a focus on creative fusions of light, space and contemporary styling. The pergola system at the front of the house continues inside the entrance foyer and living room, where it is combined with a light box system and elevated ceilings so that the house receives northern sunlight throughout the day.

Boasting three outdoor entertaining terraces, together with a modern kitchen and generous open-plan living and dining spaces, the house is both the ultimate entertainer?s abode and a private oasis close to nature and clean ocean air. A spacious master bedroom is complimented by a dressing room and generous ensuite with double spa bath, heated floors and marble surfaces. Downstairs there are 3 large bedrooms, one with ensuite bathroom, and a third bathroom and laundry that can be accessed directly when returning from the beach. A further room is suitable as a writing space or small studio, while a workshop beneath the house provides space for storage and hobbies.

The large block has been extensively landscaped and is supported by an automated watering system. A private track leads from the house directly down onto the beach.
The property is just 10 minutes from Sandy Bay village and 15 minutes to Hobart?s CBD and within close proximity to Taroona high school, esteemed Private schools, the University of Tasmania and the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania.
