6 Elma Road, Sandy Bay TAS 7005

THIS architect-designed 2004 home ticks all the boxes: a top location, modern design, northern orientation and a level floor plan. If you wish for an easier, more enjoyable lifestyle, in a stylish, healthy, minimalist & comfortable future proof home? A low impact property to enjoy the freedom of reduced bills & running costs, that is naturally heated & ventilated giving increased comfort. It would be difficult to think of someone this property wouldn't appeal to. Certainly a family with a couple of children would love being so close to sports grounds, the beach and schools, but equally a retired couple would appreciate being able to lock up and leave their secure home when the travel bug hits. Tucked in a leafy locale of Sandy Bay, the house is a quick stroll from picturesque Nutgrove Beach, restaurants and the sailing club. The sleek design brings together plenty of glass, a soaring ceiling line and quality joinery, all anchored by a polished concrete floor. Entertainers will appreciate the uninterrupted flow from oversized front door to sun-drenched living area. Three sets of glass sliding doors connect the open-plan living area to the main courtyard with easy-care garden beds decorated with topiary.
With its northern orientation, double-glazing and high windows, the dining-lounge room is a veritable suntrap. The wooden louvered windows provide cross ventilation, an easy way to cool down this sun-drenched room in summer. And in winter, the polished concrete floor (which spans the entire house) can be heated in zones or there are also three reverse-cycle heat pumps for instant heat.
The uncluttered kitchen features quality built-in appliances, solid granite bench tops, a big pantry and soft-closing drawers and doors. The solid timber joinery in the kitchen is echoed in the living area where a freestanding TV-cabinet creates a natural divide between dining and lounge areas, without breaking the flow. The minimalist furnishings ?? cream walls, contrasting dark floor and blinds ?? make for a great blank canvas fo
