Venturing up to this property from Sandy Bay Rd is definitely worth the effort: the view across the River Derwent to the southern suburbs of the Eastern Shore and down to South Arm and Betsy island, is superb. Situated at the top of the driveway with ample turning space and level access, this 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home has been cleverly designed to follow the contour of the hillside and allow most rooms to enjoy the panorama before them. From the carport, a secure courtyard leads to one of two main entrances, this one being directly into the spacious living room, which opens onto the dining area, kitchen and generous deck beyond where a designated outdoor eating area is semi-covered to allow light but protect from the hot sun. A study nook has been cleverly designed off the living room with a door neatly closing off any unfinished activity. The open atmosphere of this whole area, with its beautiful views, instils a sense of calm. Two double bedrooms and a stylish bathroom are on this lower level, with similar accommodation, including the primary bedroom with walk-in robe and en suite, on the upper level. With the property facing north-east, the three larger bedrooms not only enjoy water views but also the morning sun. The grounds surrounding the house have been skilfully landscaped with decking, steps and gravel paths allowing for ease of maintenance. Whilst less demanding native plants and bushes line the driveway and lower ground in front of the house, fruit trees and vegetables combine with exotic plants in easily accessible raised beds in the sunny backyard, producing abundant food and flora. An added feature is an intriguing cubby house at the top of the garden, ready for an overnight stay. A secure garage/workshop can be found under the house. Located above Sandy Bay Rd, the property is only a 3 minute drive to the Lower Sandy Bay village with its ever increasing shops and services. Here too are the popular Nutgrove and Long Beaches with their accompanying facilities and recreational areas, plus the Sandy Bay Sailing Club and Croquet Club. It is approximately 7 minutes' drive to the larger Sandy Bay shopping precinct with its supermarkets, shops, cafés and restaurants and around 15 minutes to the city. A regular bus service passes the bottom of the driveway giving easy access to both public and private schools and the Sandy Bay campus of the University of Tasmania. This property is beautifully presented and will suit a variety of buyers.
