Down a sweeping drive through well-manicured gardens is a most impressive 4 bedroom
home on Hobart's Eastern Shore. With only Crown land between the property and the
Derwent River, it has an uninterrupted view from Bruny Island in the south to the city, with
the imposing Kunanyi/Mt Wellington as its backdrop, in the north-west.
The home has been thoughtfully designed to capture views and sun from all main rooms on
both levels. An elegant, tiled foyer opens onto the semi-open plan living areas: the spacious
sitting room with its floor to ceiling windows wrapping around to allow a 180° river view; a
well-appointed formal dining room with both garden and river views; whilst double bi-fold
doors separate the kitchen with its walk-in pantry and quality appliances, and the adjoining
casual dining/living area, also with extensive views. A semi-covered balcony is accessed
from this level and is an ideal place to relax in the evening and watch the changing hues of
reds, golds and pinks as the sun sets behind that majestic mountain. A master bedroom,
with water views to Bruny Island, a stylish en suit and walk-in-robe, and a powder room, can
also be found on this level. On the lower level are two double bedrooms with built-in robes,
a home office/bedroom, a family bathroom and laundry. The double secure garage can be
directly entered at this level as can the extensive under-house storage. Everything about
this property, from the fixtures and fittings in the utility areas to the floor coverings and
window dressings, reveals quality.
Located in Tranmere, one of the southern suburbs of the Eastern Shore, there is a relaxing
sense of escape from city life, yet it is only 20 minutes' drive from the Hobart CBD, as well as
being 20 minutes' drive from Hobart Airport. It is an 8 minute drive to the popular Shoreline
Shopping Centre, while the larger complex of Eastlands with its many shops, financial,
commercial and entertainment facilities is approximately 15 minutes away. The area is also
well serviced by schools, both primary and secondary. The Eastern Shore is renowned for its
comfortable lifestyle where beaches are easily accessible, including the popular surf beach
of Clifton, and walking tracks meander along the shores of the river: an idyllic place to live.
