Commanding an enviable position along Sandy Bay's tightly held waterfront, this distinguished Federation residence brings together enduring period character, thoughtfully refreshed interiors and an outlook stretching across the River Derwent, marina and through to Mt Wellington/kunanyi.
Dating back to circa 1915 the home retains the architectural detail and generous proportions that define its era. Soaring ceilings, ornate cornices, decorative ceiling roses, original timber floorboards and elegant fireplaces establish a sense of heritage throughout, while recent improvements introduce a fresh, considered feel that complements the home's historic character. Set within a premier enclave and enjoys a coveted northwest-to-rear aspect.
From the moment you step inside, the scale and individuality of the interiors are immediately apparent. As functional as it is timeless, it flows over two levels and boasts three separate living spaces, including a decadent parents' retreat. There is something particularly special about the outlook from almost every room, whether through the masts of the marina to the river beyond, or back towards the majestic Mt Wellington/kunanyi. With sunlight filtering through the home at different times of day, the interiors take on an ever-changing warmth, while original timber floors and period detailing create an inviting atmosphere throughout.
The kitchen offers a relaxed space for casual dining or a morning coffee bathed in natural light. Custom-built window seating overlooks the rear courtyard, creating a lovely connection to the outdoors. Beautifully appointed with quality appliances, the kitchen also features abundant storage, a walk-in pantry and thoughtfully integrated display shelving. Its connection to the adjoining living areas allows the home to adapt effortlessly between relaxed family life and entertaining.
Accommodation is generously proportioned, with four bedrooms offering flexibility for family and guests. The main bedroom enjoys a particularly special position, where morning sunlight and the captivating waterfront outlook create a beautiful start to the day. An ensuite and walk-in dressing room add further comfort, while the upstairs balcony provides a private vantage point from which to take in the ever-changing scenery across the water. Bathrooms are positioned across both levels, complemented by a separate laundry and practical storage throughout.
Outside, the established gardens provide a private and inviting extension of the home. The garden has been thoughtfully relandscaped, with established greenery and sheltered entertaining areas creating a peaceful setting to enjoy the afternoon sunshine. At the front, the traditional verandah and landscaped gardens reinforce the home's timeless street appeal, while offering a lovely place to pause and appreciate the surrounding neighbourhood. Secure off-street parking is available via the adjoining King Street.
