3 Heathorn Avenue, Sandy Bay TAS 7005

Situated in a quiet street in sought after “Nutgrove”, this spacious and comfortable 1920s home is encased by glorious gardens and white picket fencing. Renovations by Prue Cotton and Gary Forward have retained classic features including high ceilings, ornate stained-glass windows and French porcelain tiles at its entrance.

A flexible floor plan provides multiple living spaces with each room flowing into the next and a series of French doors providing easy access to the garden. The formal living room is cosy with ample room to relax in comfort. Large bay windows flood the room with natural light and a gas heater sits within the converted fireplace. There is additional wall-mounted panel heating throughout.

Bi-fold doors provide access to the decadent dining room at the heart of this home - with easy access to the kitchen it is the perfect setting for fine dining and dinner parties.

The central kitchen is fully equipped with quality appliances including Miele oven, dishwasher, electric cooktop and rangehood and a Westinghouse fridge. There’s an abundance of cupboard and bench space including a convenient island bench with sinks. Skylights fill the kitchen and adjacent sitting room with light.

Like the kitchen and entry, the sitting room has a long wearing bamboo floor and is a perfect entertaining space with French doors opening into the garden. Another north facing sunroom provides space for casual meals or a sunny reading nook and has its own entrance from the driveway.

The master bedroom looks out across the leafy gardens toward Mount Wellington and contains built-in wardrobes with a converted fireplace. Another sizable bedroom with mirrored built-in robes is located at the rear of the home and a third room can be utilised as accommodation or a home office or study.

The bathroom is large enough for the whole family with a shower, bath and corner vanity. A separate toilet is located nearby. The laundry, complete with whitegoods, enjoys direct access to the backyard and there’s ample linen cupboards located nearby.

Outside, established gardens with trees, hedges and blooming florals is an idyllic summer sanctuary with flagstone pathways and multiple places to sit and enjoy a morning coffee. Plus, there are garden beds with an array of herbs and vegetables.

There is plenty of off-street parking within the driveway and car port, a secure garage and artist’s studio and another self-contained workshop plus a garden shed and conveniently, an outhouse.

Centrally located yet set back from the bustle of Sandy Bay’s main road, this classic family home is close to beaches, shops, restaurants and schools. Lovingly upgraded and immaculately maintained, this residence makes for private, comfortable and convenient living in serene surrounds.
