Privately nestled on a generous allotment of 1714sqm surrounded by established gardens and a pool deck, this exceptional circa 1930 family home is built in the Spanish Mission style showcasing views of Hobart's River Derwent and kunanyi/Mt Wellington. A contemporary architecturally designed renovation respects the original era of the home whilst offering elegant light-filled and comfortable modern living. Desirably located in a sought-after pocket of Sandy Bay, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial holding in this coveted locale.

Set across two levels, the entry level is largely dedicated to living with generously proportioned open plan living forming the heart of the home. The well-equipped kitchen has quality appliances and capacious storage and is open to the dining room and living room with drinks cabinet and cosy wood fire. Two sets of French doors open from this space onto the terrace, with a staircase leading to the north facing pool deck with in-ground swimming pool, further extending the space for entertaining family and friends over the summer months.

A second large living room adjacent to the entry hall provides further flexibility in the floorplan and could be used as a bedroom or a home office. The laundry, a powder room and cellar complete the floorplan on the ground floor.

The staircase to the upper level reveals the private master suite with panoramic water views, spacious walk-in wardrobe, impressive ensuite bathroom with double vanity, and a separate bathtub and shower. Up to three further bedrooms each with built in robes, are serviced by the central family bathroom and powder room.

Classic original features remain in situ, enhancing the appeal of the home. A combination of central and ducted heating, panel heaters and a wood heater ensure year-round comfort.

The double garage gives secure undercover parking and the home gym adjacent; a secure remote control front gate and CCTV cameras adds amenity. The verdant grounds are productive with citrus and fruit trees, offering the luxury of picturesque and private surrounds within an urban setting.

Within easy reach of excellent schools and UTAS, the shops, cafes and amenities of Sandy Bay Village, and the safe swimming beaches of Nutgrove and Lower Sandy Bay, this property is unsurpassed in terms of lifestyle and location. Offered to market for the first time in 15 years, this is a rare opportunity to buy into this area and become the next custodian of this outstanding family home.
