JUST imagine ... you wake up, roll out of bed, turn on the coffee machine – and this gigantic water vista stretches out before you.

Pretty great, right?

From its private, elevated position, this family home at Kingston Beach boasts one of the most mesmerisin­g views over the sand and bay.

The balcony off the kitchen will be the place to be all day long, with the sun beaming in there all afternoon and into the evening.

Knight Frank sales consultant Abi Freeman described No.52 Kunama as a “significan­t, phenomenal property”.

Abi said there had been plenty of interest in the home from local and interstate buyers, however the mainlander­s were waiting for Tasmania’s boarders to open to make an inspection possible.

She said families in particular had been attracted to the home’s size and position.

Alongside showstoppi­ng features such as the huge block and water views, many buyers have been attracted to the lower level of the home and the flexibilit­y it offers. There is a lot of space and plumbing in place which may lend it to developmen­t as a living area or a home for grandparen­ts or teens.

“People that have walked through the home have called it a private oasis,” Abi said.

“Kunama Close is positioned up and away from the suburb’s main roads in a really tiny little cul-de-sac. It is an exclusive part of Kingston Beach.

“The property sits in an elevated location that looks straight to the water.

“And that view will never be built-out by a neighbour.

“It has that feeling of being in the middle of everywhere but you could be in the middle of nowhere.”

Abi described the grounds, about

3000sq m-plus, as leafy and wellestabl­ished.

She said a gardener could do amazing things with this property or, for those without a green thumb, the gardens are low-maintenanc­e and will look after themselves.

“There is also a reserve next to the property, which adds to the level of privacy on offer here,” Abi said.

Built in the 1980s and, more recently, thoroughly updated, the home combines modern updates with original features. The sophistica­ted interiors make a design statement with their clean lines and crisp finishes.

The home’s expansive open-plan living zone is light-filled and spacious with extensive glazing throughout to capitalise on the stunning bird’s-eye views.

The living room has the luxury of woodheatin­g while the combined kitchen and dining room is bound to be a highlight for potential buyers who love to entertain.

Glass sliders open to that sunny deck, further extending the living space for larger gatherings and offering a special spot to relax and admire the ever-changing view.

The sleek white kitchen has an island bench with enough space for four people to sit and have breakfast.

The kitchen has double sinks, gas cooking, plenty of preparatio­n space, and cupboards high and low.

On this first-floor level of the home is a loungeroom, workshop and a big storage space.

Most of the bedrooms are located on the second floor.

The master bedroom offers the luxury of a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and spa room, making it a true parents’ retreat.

A picture window in this room frames a view of the beach and adds to the luxury. It also opens to a large study with built-in wardrobes.

There are two more bedrooms on this level, serviced by a central family bathroom with a separate tub and shower.

A fourth bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe is on the lower ground floor, next to the rumpus room.

The property is kept warm via a combinatio­n of panel heaters and heat pumps.

The NBN is connected and it has solar hot water and solar panels to enhance the home’s efficiency.

The carport provides undercover offstreet parking.

This family home’s well-designed and functional floor plan offers relaxed coastal living that should appeal to purchasers seeking an easy-care property with an unsurpasse­d backdrop beyond.
