Easily described as a modern interpretation of the classic Australian homestead, this absolutely immaculate property, positioned proudly on 5 acres at the crest of the hill in Oak Farm Rise in Old Beach, could be the home of your dreams. From the street, the low slung design of this double glazed home with solar power reveals its understated sophistication. Automated gates open onto a large driveway leading into a twin carport incorporated under the roofline of the home. The main entrance to the home is positioned in a generously sized open entry porch adjacent to the carport. As you enter the home the first surprise comes as your eyes are immediately drawn to the large windows at the front of the property which perfectly frame the panoramic views into the distance. Then you notice , the large sunken lounge room, huge modern and well equipped kitchen and the beautifully positioned dining area in its own raised alcove. You will want to linger in this area as you slowly absorb everything this cleverly designed space has to offer. The kitchen will satisfy the creative cook with plenty of storage and preparation surfaces and there's enough room for an island prep space to be installed if required. The kitchen is equipped with quality Miele appliances including cook top, oven and dishwasher. Walking out from the lounge through large glazed doors you enter an alfresco area that you, your family and your friends are going to love. Fully roofed and semi-enclosed with wrap-around glazed windows, the views from this eyrie are breathtaking and will provide the perfect backdrop for entertaining. The layout of the property has been designed to make the living area the heart of the home with two bedroom wings positioned on either side of it. The first wing contains the spacious master suite which enjoys gorgeous views out over the valley. A large walk-in robe and en-suite with shower, vanity and toilet make this a wonderfully self-contained retreat. Also in this wing of the house is the laundry featuring plenty of storage and a fabulous split-style stable door leading out to landscaped garden zone. There is also a separate adjacent toilet with hand basin next to a door leading back out to the carport. On the other side of the living area is the second bedroom wing with three spacious bedrooms, one with a study/office nook and the other two with built-in wardrobes. Two of the bedrooms have an interconnecting sliding door which the current owner has taken advantage of by creating a guest suite with bedroom plus separate lounge with its own entry into the home. A family bathroom with shower, vanity and bath plus a separate adjacent toilet completes the floorplan for this part of the home. The home has a combination of quality carpeting and hardwearing floor surfaces throughout and heating is provided by reverse cycle air-conditioning (heat pump) as well as electric panel heaters. The grounds of the property are mainly fenced paddocks with a separate garden surrounding the home itself. From the driveway you are able to view the large triple bay Dutch styled Colourbond barn with two roller doors, and an over-height middle section. The barn is positioned away from the home down a short incline. There is plenty of space for a workshop, as well as storage and garaging. Mains power is connected. The owner currently has horses on the property and utilises one bay in this space for feed storage and a tack room as well as for garaging the float. At the rear of the barn are two small holding yards, good fencing is provided and a horse shelter. The motoring enthusiast would relish the prospect of being able to house their nearest and dearest in a building such as this. This is a stunning property in a fabulous location, seemingly in an isolated rural position but in reality only a short drive to the East Derwent Highway and the shops and services of Brighton, or a little further afield to Glenorchy and Hobart. This home will suit a broad range of homebuyers who have interests in rural pursuits or those who want to be in a beautiful and incredibly private home positioned to take advantage of comfortable commuting distances to both Hobart and Launceston as well as the Hobart airport.
