5 Riverbend Drive, Don

Situated in picturesque Don, this idyllic family home offers luxury living in a peaceful location. Just 8 minutes from the city centre, the property offers a simple rural lifestyle with the convenience of being only a short drive from all the amenities on offer in Devonport. Stunning design by Tasmanian architect Giles Newstead utilises pavilions to create light and views, as well as clever use of cross ventilation. A loved family home, this property has many stories to tell that all lead to the eastern view. Surrounded by nature and home to beautiful wildlife, the 7,510m2 (approx.) parcel of land holds more than just a statement-built home. The Don River continually flows east of the property, with direct access from the rear of the block. Over the years, the river has enjoyed many first summer swims, the splashes of a happy dog on a warm evening, and the excitement of a kids first catch, all while being watched by the resident crane that welcomes you to the small flowing falls up stream. As you enter the front door, the parent's pavilion consists of generous master bedroom with views east to the Don River, plus a large ensuite and a walk-in robe. Thoughtfully separated from the main living zones, polished concrete heated flooring guides you past the beautiful timber staircase and into the open plan kitchen, dining and living pavilion. An extensive island bench crafted with Caesarstone is the heart of the space before the forestry views east capture your attention. Flames from the wood fire reflect on the windows, creating a relaxing ambience. Two large entertaining areas are accessed through multiple bi-fold and sliding doors, creating an indoor/outdoor space that is enjoyed by the entire family. A fire pit nestled amongst the rocks in the pavers has seen many toasted marshmallows, family celebrations and children's stargazing sleepovers to the eastern view. A second living area with eco fireplace in the northern pavilion is perfect as a TV room, rumpus or teenagers retreat, and complimented by adjacent study/home office. Downstairs are three generous bedrooms, with wellness area and spa deck, as well as a large laundry with undercover drying area and the family bathroom that offers eastern views from the large bath. Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the property's grounds are private and serene. A secure front entrance gate guides you to a large concreted space, perfect for those wanting room for a caravan, boat or multiple cars. A grassed area in the front yard would be the ideal space to install a pool (STCA), a dream of the current owners.
