With uninterrupted views across the River Derwent, this beautifully renovated home was built in the 1950s for one of Tasmania's prominent politicians. Designed by the renowned Hobart architect, I G Anderson, the house is a fine example of the modernist ideas of the times with its large picture windows capturing both views and sunshine, and its skillion roof adding a sense of minimalism: a feature popular again in the 21st Century.

The home is situated down a pebblecrete drive from Sandy Bay Road giving not only privacy, but a sense of peace and quiet. The driveway opens onto an extensive apron that accommodates three parked cars with ample turning space, and gives access to a single garage and the attractive covered entrance to the house.

The home itself is over two levels and has been stylishly renovated to 21st Century tastes. Warm polished wooden floorboards are throughout the upper level and lead from the front door, past a study and powder-room, to the semi-open plan living, dining and kitchen spaces, all of which enjoy the spectacular views over the water and across to the Eastern Shore. From the dining area is a spacious entertaining deck complete with built-in barbecue and continues past the living room, with a return to a secluded hot tub, the views from which are equally superb.

Stairs lead down to the four carpeted bedrooms, all with built-in robes, a family bathroom, a laundry and a concealed cellar under the stairs. The master bedroom has an extensive walk-in-wardrobe at the rear and an en suite that shares the stunning views, while double doors give access to the lower deck.

A sandstone gravel path meanders through the lawn on the river side of the house to meet with steps that lead down to two separate vantage points. The first is a platform with table and chairs, ideal for a relaxing morning coffee or evening drink; while the lower level is much closer to the river and houses a firepit with built-in-seating, almost experiencing the water's edge.

This property with its privacy and views that capture the ever-changing maritime activity on the water, is in a much sought-after position. The beaches, sports fields, clubs, children's park area, shops and cafés of Lower Sandy Bay are a mere one minute drive away, while both private and public schools are easily accessible. A regular bus service runs past the top of the driveway, and it takes less than 15 minutes by car to reach the Hobart CBD and popular waterfront precinct.
