71 Gellibrand Lane, Opossum Bay TAS 7023

If you've been saying "one day"... Opossum Bay is just a 35 minute drive to Hobart Airport, 40 minutes to Hobart's CBD, or 14 km along the picturesque Derwent river and often likened to Sydney's Palm Beach - 40 km from the city by road, yet a world away from the strife of daily life!

This meticulously renovated home is actually situated on the beach that the 'locals know' - Glenvar Beach and the house itself is one of only six in the whole suburb to enjoy the sparkling 'diamond necklace' that is the Tasman Bridge, by night. Indeed, the 180 degree panorama will see you and your family transfixed - enjoying spectacular sunsets over Mt. Wellington, from the large, covered deck. Or spotting the regular visitors - seal and dolphins usually daily and now and then, a whale or two!

The lower, solid concrete boatshed is another spot to steal away, just a metre above the water level, unless of course you store your water toys there. In which case, simply walk up one level and enjoy the waterfront 'lounge room' with bi-fold doors. You can cast a line in and catch dinner from here.

The grounds are landscaped and level and watered by the efficient Ozzi Clean system. There are numerous 'pockets' around the property to entertain. Or to simply just be!

Inside, you'll be cosy and warm year round with a new Panasonic air conditioner, Canadian Gas Log fire, as well as a wood heater fire box. Windows and doors are double-glazed. The main bathroom features a Kohler spa bath for two, twin showers along with 'his and hers' basins and cabinets. There are two king bedrooms with generous built-ins and the third bedroom - a queen, is currently used as a home office. All three offer water views, as does the modern (gas) kitchen.

A solid concrete double garage with remote control door, offers safety for two cars plus motorbikes and like the rest of this modern house, is flooded with natural light.

Sometimes, "opportunity knocks before you're dressed and made up" nevertheless, the time is now to turn "one day" into....Today! (And live like you're on holiday - every day!)
