Under Contract, awaiting settlement – What a wonderful setting on the very fringe of Ambleside, East Devonport overlooking the Mersey River Estuary. The epitome of “the best of both worlds” with all the convenience and advantages of town living along with privacy of a lovely and a lovely home (Circa 1976) established in a natural bushland setting with an abundance of Native birdlife also making it home. All this overlooking the Mersey River Estuary from this more unique octagonal residence with wrap around verandah designed to capture and take full advantage of this wonderful and generous setting of approximately 2428 square metres.

If you are looking for the convenience of town living, but don’t wish to feel like you are boxed in with town conformity, value privacy, love nature and wish to have a point of difference, look no further, this could be your one stop. Local shops are nearby, however within three to five kilometres you will be in the main shopping precincts of East Devonport, Latrobe and Devonport itself. Even better if you feel the urge to have a beverage, socialize the recently created bicycle track from Ambleside to Latrobe is accessed within metres of Oakwood drive, take a ride with the family or friends to Latrobe along the foreshore of the Mersey and ride home with a few essentials if needed in the paniers or basket.

This impressive brick and timber Octagonal home features three (3) bedrooms and two (2) bathrooms including master with ensuite, Galley style kitchen, Living-Dining and lounge along with a rumpus. The home is established over two storeys comprising approximately 136 squares metres of interior living space with master living plus wrap around verandah and deck areas further enhancing the optics of the property on the first level. The kitchen, living-dining, second lounge, master bedroom, bathrooms and laundry occupy the upstairs first level, while bedrooms two, three and rumpus (or fourth bedroom depending on needs) make up the family living downstairs along with some further handy storage areas. The two areas are accessed internally by a feature timber spiral staircase, while both storeys also feature direct ground level accessways.

The residence is both bright, well lit and ventilated as you would expect in a residence established to capture the scenery and surrounds, warmed when necessary by fan forced freestanding wood heater and supplemented when needed with reverse cycle air conditioning. The kitchen is a traditional galley design featuring electrical appliances, with the kitchen opening to formal dining and living areas which have been designed to maximise appreciation of the setting in all seasons and at all times of the day. Set up an easel on the deck and paint the views, position a tripod and take time lapse landscape photography or sequester yourself at the house or on the deck with friends and family over a glass of your favourite beverage and enjoy from your favourite time of day. This is a home for people who look outward, that rarely in the past 45 years has had a drawn curtain or blind.

The white high vaulted ceilings and exposed beams are a feature of the upper level as they create a further appreciation of light and space, along with the expanse of window space along with the warm timber surrounds framing the outdoors. Plate glass screens cut in between walls and the ceilings add to the light flow while providing barriers and privacy between living, bedroom and bathroom areas and enhance the sense of space.

The grounds are a very low maintenance natural bushland setting, nurtured and landscaped over 45 years of living. The vendors have created an environment providing a haven of native flora and fauna, numerous vantage points and settings to enjoy the surroundings and tidal estuary views with the abundance of resident birdlife, over the years the vendors have established ornaments throughout the gardens that only add to the atmosphere and character of this property. The property features more than ample off-street parking for at least four vehicles including motorhomes and caravans. The rear of the property is fully fenced making it ideal yard for children and pet security.

This property could not be more conveniently located no more than 8-10 minutes to the heart of Devonport, Latrobe, or East Devonport and each shopping precinct and services and for schools.
