34 View Street, Sandy Bay TAS 7005

Nestled on a verdant allotment of 2,332 sqm in the heart of 'Old Sandy Bay', an award winning architecturally designed extension complements circa 1820s character and charm. With a rich history, originally part of Hall's Farm and later known as 'Blink Bonney' by the 1880s, the most recent wing was added in 2015, winning a Tasmanian Architecture award in 2016 in the category for Residential Architecture, and an Australian Timber Design award.
Stunning views of the River Derwent and kunanyi/Mount Wellington further add to the appeal of this impressive property, presenting an exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial holding in this sought after locale.

Designed by architect Gaetano Palmese and built by Thylacine Construction, the pavilion wing at the rear of the home is characterised by specialty Tasmanian timber including Tasmanian Oak, Celery Top Pine and Tasmanian Ash, and extensive glazing flooding the space with natural light to create warm and inviting open plan living. Accommodating the well-equipped galley style kitchen and Butler's Pantry with laundry facilities and capacious storage, the dining area opens onto the garden to create seamless indoor/outdoor living, and a sunny window seat offers a cosy corner to relax in this well-designed space.

The footprint of the original home is flexible, with a series of rooms off the wide entry hall. The living room is adjacent to the sunroom and verandah, a library (or fifth bedroom, if required) is at the front of the home, and four bedrooms are serviced by the contemporary bathroom with separate bathtub and shower.

A combination of hydronic gas heating and a wood fire provides year-round comfort, and main gas hot water and cooking adds convenience. Classic original features remain in situ, adding to the heritage ambience of the home. Outside the home is surrounded by established gardens and lawn, appealing to the green thumb and there is plenty of space for children and pets to play.

Within easy reach of excellent schools, UTAS, public transport and the shops, cafes, restaurants and amenities of Sandy Bay Village, this home has everything a family could want or need right on the doorstep. A truly exceptional property in a coveted pocket of this postcode, this is your chance to be the next custodian of this beautiful heritage home that has been so thoughtfully reimagined for modern family life.
