Soak up the stately splendour

Withhigh ceilings, intricate woodwork and original timber architraves, this stately residence above Sandy Bay Rd celebrates the grandeur and beauty its makers intended.

Aspacious hallway flows lengthwise through the house, separating a private family area and generous study from a master bedroom suite that includes a huge walkthrough dressing room and ensuite.

Also on this main level is the family bathroom with itsowndressing table and skylight, as well as a third bathroom. The laundry is adjacent.

The home’s original features such as deep-set windows in triple brick walls, built-in bookcases, ornate ceiling roses and striking marble fireplace are complemented by cream and neutral interior tones.

At the front of the house is a spacious and versatile kitchen, tastefully updated and transformed into a functional space that flows into a delightful breakfast room.

To one side of this space is an outdoor courtyard, partly shaded for outdoor dining. Draped with wisteria and lined with plants, this courtyard is also accessed from the study and living rooms.

To the other side and showcasing stunning views across the Derwent and the city is the formal dining/living room. Featuring two beautiful bow windows, this room opens to a broad wraparound veranda and a beautiful, longestablished garden.

Upstairs, two additional bedrooms nestle under angled ceilings. Light and airy, they offer excellent guest or children’s accommodation.

Consultantpam Corkhill says the home is close to Nutgrove Beach, the University of Tasmania and lower Sandy Bay shopping.
