Positioned to command uninterrupted, 180-degree views across the D'Entrecasteaux Channel to the majestic Hartz Mountain ranges, Sunset Bay Escape more than lives up to its name. From its elevated vantage point, the ever-changing canvas of sea and sky delivers breathtaking sunsets in vivid hues of orange, pink and crimson, an experience that continues to captivate the owners and guests alike.
Importantly, this remarkable outlook is not only uninterrupted, but protected, secured by the coastal reserve parkland directly in front, ensuring the integrity of this extraordinary vista is here to stay!
Often affectionately referred to by locals as "The Glasshouse," the home has been thoughtfully designed to dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. A striking full-glass facade frames the landscape like a natural artwork, drawing light deep into the home while creating an effortless connection to the surrounding environment.
Offering contemporary coastal living, Sunset Bay Escape has been thoughtfully enhanced to elevate both comfort and appeal. New Tasmanian Oak flooring adds warmth and sophistication to the main living zone, while expansive front and rear decks extend the home's entertaining spaces. Three reverse-cycle air conditioning units service the living area and two of the three bedrooms, ensuring year-round comfort, complemented by the ambient warmth of a wood fire.
The generous open-plan living and dining is defined by high ceilings and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Multiple glass sliders open onto substantial decking that spans the length of the home, an extraordinary setting for long lunches, evening gatherings, or simply unwinding as the sun sets over the water.
This is a home designed for both entertaining and retreat. The kitchen is functional yet inviting, featuring double stainless-steel sinks, quality appliances including a five-burner Ariston stove, and a well-considered layout with two generous walk-in larders, one of which also incorporates the laundry. It's a space that caters effortlessly for those who love to cook and entertain, especially when paired with Bruny Island's celebrated local produce.
Accommodation is generous and flexible, comprising three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The standout master suite is a true sanctuary, spanning approximately 38sqm and complemented by a walk-behind robe and a luxurious ensuite with double vanity. Both the master and second bedroom enjoy direct deck access via glass sliders, allowing you to wake to water views and coastal light.
A separate media/lounge zone, complete with an integrated sound system, offers an additional space to unwind, while thoughtful inclusions, from quality furnishings to a garden shed, ensure immediate comfort and convenience.
