27 Bernacchi Drive, Orford TAS 7190

This striking 3 bed, 3 ensuite contemporary residence overlooking the entrance to Spring Bay Harbour at Orford is a vendor design which became a nominee for the Tasmanian Housing Industry Awards in 2012. Enjoying a sun soaked NE aspect, 'Aralluen' embraces expansive water views awaiting from all but 2 windows. Few east coast main bedrooms will wake to a Maria Island sunrise like this one!
Taking full advantage of the large 1621 sqm allotment and to gain maximum elevation, 27 Bernacchi Drive rests upon a structurally engineered steel framed platform. Following the land boundaries which open towards the harbour, the level access all electric floor plan comprises 2 wings deploying skillion roof plans with an expansive timber deck between, linked by an entry foyer with an office alcove and under floor heating at the back of house, and a driveway opens to a garage/ workshop with internal access to the house, via a weatherproof drying room.
The inspired design creates an abundance of natural light flowing into the buildings, managed through a strategic selection of plantation shutters, and window dressings including custom-made thermal lined curtains, honeycomb blinds and shade roller blinds throughout. Double glazing captures the warmth of the sun which is supplemented by a heat pump, ceiling fans and panel heaters depending upon the season. Each bedroom is fitted with generous built-in robes.
Once in the home small children or pets are contained within the platform which includes a spa bath set into the deck with loads of space for alfresco dining while enjoying the expansive views through glass balustrades across the sparkling Mercury Passage to Maria Island beyond.
With neutral tones throughout - the vendors mix of artwork, furnishings and colours creates a relaxed, seaside environment with scope for kicking back to enjoy the view, read a book or settle into an afternoon of tending the terraced gardens which in large part are low maintenance, established shrubs requiring only occasional care.
On Louisville Point within a short walk of the celebrated 'East Coaster Resort', this peaceful setting is just 1 hour by road to the bustling city of Hobart with a world class array of restaurants, cultural activity and professional services.
