The elevated position of this beautiful home opens up the amazing view over Shelly Beach and Ralph's Bay to the Arm End to the North and to the River Derwent and Mount Wellington to the West. The house is on approx. 1426m2, surrounded by lovely (but low maintenance) gardens in a well-fenced yard and sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac along with other stunning homes.
Constructed of Heritage Stone, the house has been designed and built to maximise year-round comfort. It has been insulated in the walls and ceiling; fitted with energy efficient Comfort Glass; warmed and cooled by a reverse cycle air conditioner; an electric fire sets a cosy atmosphere on a winter’s night; and gas hot water.
The heart of the home is the open plan Kitchen - with quality appliances, a large pantry and excellent storage; Dining - with concertina glass doors open onto a wide, timber deck; and Lounge - with picture windows framing the view. The main bedroom has a walk-in robe and its own sunroom which opens onto the main deck; the other bedrooms both have built-ins and the third also has its own sunroom and a clever study nook.
The main bathroom is cleverly designed with a bath, separate shower, large storage cupboard and a separate powder room. The second bathroom is alongside the laundry and is ideal for guests. There is a single garage with a workshop (power connected) as well as a single carport and extra parking bay. The gardens boast a sheltered vegetable patch and three apple trees and across the road is a walk-way to the Arm End Reserve with many walking tracks and access to Shelly Beach and Mitchells Beach.
Opossum Bay is a prestige beach-side village within a 45 minute drive to Hobart and even closer to large shopping centres and services. It offers safe swimming beaches, great fishing and boating areas as well as a genuine community with many clubs, groups and social events.
