Absolute waterfront architectural excellence with beach access Positioned directly on the edge of the River Derwent, this architecturally designed coastal residence by 1+2 Architecture delivers a rare combination of absolute waterfront living, refined design and intelligent functionality. Set on 901sqm with title to the high-water mark and beach access via a staircase leading down the property directly to the shoreline, the home captures river views from every room except the laundry, creating a constant connection to water and horizon. Bathed in natural light and oriented to embrace its panoramic outlook, the open-plan living and dining domain extends seamlessly to the upper deck, while a secondary lower deck enhances the home’s layered outdoor living. Designed as a central gathering space, the spacious and beautifully designed kitchen is a statement in considered design, where expansive Dekton benchtops and tailored cabinetry are complemented by a generous butler’s pantry, uniting form and function with quiet confidence for both daily living and entertaining. Accommodation comprises three bedrooms plus a dedicated study. The privately positioned upper-level primary suite has been configured as a secure, lockable retreat, complete with walk-in wardrobe and a spacious luxury ensuite that also enjoys water views. On the lower level, the two additional bedrooms enjoy abundant natural light and river vistas. The larger room opens directly onto the lower deck and is fitted with a sink cabinet, offering flexibility as an artist’s studio, guest retreat or substantial third bedroom. In addition to the primary ensuite, the home is serviced by a downstairs bathroom that includes a indulgent bathtub positioned beneath the window with striking views over the water. Upstairs, a combined powder room and laundry with generous storage provides convenient outdoor access. Two spacious wine cabinets positioned within the downstairs hallway add further practical luxury. Outdoor living is further elevated by premium Modinex Tractio decking to the upper and lower decks, complemented by a spotted gum feature entrance. The landscaped grounds are fully irrigated via an automatic watering system, supported by both rainwater storage and mains access. Beneath the home, a substantial undercroft provides extensive built-in storage and versatile space currently utilised as a workshop and home gym. An outdoor shower positioned near the entrance gate offers practical convenience after time spent at the beach. The surrounding shoreline and escarpment form part of a rich Tasmanian coastal environment, and native wildlife have been sighted on the property including fairy penguins, Tasmanian devils, quolls, echidnas and wallabies, with frequent dolphin activity. Private, secure and impeccably maintained, this exceptional residence presents a rare opportunity to secure absolute waterfront living within one of Sandy Bay’s most tightly held coastal positions.
