A perfect home for a fun and busy family, 44 View Street has big bedrooms, flexible living spaces and a backyard that is an entertainer’s dream.
From the street, the home exudes character and warmth. The bay windows and original stained glass contrast with the cool contemporary palette and painted boards, creating a homely, modern and thoroughly comfortable feel.
The 1925 Californian bungalow entrance invites you to linger on the semi-closed verandah to look over the front garden and soak up the sun. The home’s elevated position provides an outlook over leafy Sandy Bay to the yachts on the river and to Bellerive Beach beyond.
The timber front door opens into a light, airy hallway, with gleaming floorboards, high ceilings and beautifully-detailed archway leading through the center of the house to the living area.
Four large bedrooms branch off the hallway. At the front of the house, a large double bedroom with built-in-robe looks over the front garden through a deep bay window, which floods the room with sunlight. Across the hall, the windows in the largest bedroom have stained glass detail. The carpet and dark-brick fireplace feature give this room a warm tone, while an adjoining room dressing room provides a walk-in-robe.
The main bathroom is central to the floor plan, and continues the home’s contemporary white-and-wood theme that provides a tasteful backdrop for any decorating colour and flavour.
A further two double bedrooms, as well as formal living and useful utility room complete the rooms off the hall way, before the home opens into the casual living and kitchen. This area is as functional as it is stylish. The efficient layout, clever cabinetry and casual breakfast bar are features enhanced by quality appliances, stainless steel splashback and striking skylights.
Double doors open onto a deck that wraps around the house, stepping down onto lawn and finally to a beautifully landscaped area with a 12 x 4m solar heated pool. This backyard is designed for entertaining. With easy access to the second bathroom through the laundry, outdoor speakers and a semi-enclosed paved area as well as the deck, the yard is an extension of the home’s living area, and a space you will not want to leave.
Set in central Sandy Bay, 44 View Street is within easy walking distance to the Sandy Bay retail strip, leading schools, is next door to the University of Tasmania, and a short bus ride to town.
