NEVER WANT TO LEAVE
Homes in this waterside suburb almost never hit the market and this one is superb from front to back, writes Jarrad Bevan.
THE chance to buy a home of any shape or size is all too rare in South Arm. And the opportunity to snap one up of this size, quality and location... that’s as rare as hen’s teeth.
It is fair to call No.151 Blessington Street an architectural masterpiece.
Located by the water’s edge — and with 180-degree views of Hobart — this firstclass, resort-style home offers an enviable lifestyle where once you move in, you may never want to leave.
Property consultant Harry Lambrakis of EIS Property described the home as “impressive on every front”.
“It is the type of property that leaves its residents and visitors alike in awe,” he said.
“I really love this home – everything from the commanding clifftop position to the luxurious lifestyle it offers to the quality features inside and out.
“I could see myself spending all of my time at the front of the home enjoying the breathtaking views, listening to the ocean and watching the ships sail below.
“It’s so great being able to walk to the South Arm beach, jetty, boat ramp and store, as well as being a short commute to Opossum Bay which has similar facilities and as well as a golf course
“It would also be fantastic to occasionally entertain, relax and stargaze on the huge deck.”
No.151’s location is a treat — as unique as it is attractive.
The design of the home makes the most of the locale with its giant 85sq m sundeck that spans around the front of the home.
It is an impeccable spot for indooroutdoor entertaining, while enjoying the breathtaking and panoramic views of the River Derwent, over to Bruny Island, Mount Wellington, Sandy Bay and the Hobart City Waterfront.
The adjoining waterfront reserve leads to the foreshore of the Derwent Estuary while sheltered Fort Beach is only a short stroll away.
Plus, the next homeowner will have direct walking access to the South Arm Beach Store, jetty and boat ramp.
Mr Lambrakis said the triple-bedroom abode offered a feeling of grandeur and a sense of privacy on arrival.
Entry is via a solid-timber gate and through to a double garage, which secludes the home from the rest of the street.
Once through the gate, there are illuminated boardwalks to the front door, catching glimpses of the water and Mount Wellington.
The central kitchen is well-appointed, featuring a top-quality finish with granite benches, quality appliances, a cut-in sink and garbage receptacle, breakfast bar, soft closing doors, a double-drawer dishwasher, as well as a sink in the butler’s pantry.
The bathrooms are also high quality with tiled flooring and walls, walk-in showers, a deep bathtub, as well as walkthorough access to the ensuite.
Throughout the home there are various vantage point from which one can take in the panoramic water and mountain views.
Ducted heating will keep the home warm in winter and cool in summer while outside the enclosed garden with raised garden beds provides plenty of scope for those with a green thumb.
No.151 will feel like a holiday in paradise every single day, Mr Lambrakis said.
“Watch the ships sail by and enjoy your front row seats to the Sydney to Hobart yacht race every single year,” he said.
Open homes for No.151 are scheduled for October 6 and 8 (both at 5.30pm) and on the 9th at 4pm.
