When buying a home, privacy from the neighbours is often close to the top of most people’s “must have” list. But there’s always an exception to the rule- especially when that neighbour is the mighty Tamar River! On a title that extends to the high-tide mark and includes an exceptionally-presented executive residence, a deep-water front, jetty, slipway and a boathouse, and is sited on just over 4000 sqm of park-like grounds that slope gently to the water’s edge, this idyllic location offers the very best of sumptuous riverside living, twenty minutes from Launceston.
Set well back from the road, a grand driveway gently winds its way through manicured lawns and established trees towards the grandly-proportioned home. Redesigned and reinvigorated by the current owners, an impressive entrance foyer sets a luxurious tone for the entire residence, and flows seamlessly into an open-plan living area that features floor-to-ceiling windows that perfectly showcase uninterrupted views of the sapphire-blue waters beyond. Comprising the lounge, dining room and kitchen, this area is complemented by honey-toned polished floorboards, a wood-fire that provides both warmth and ambience, and an adjacent timbered deck ideal for entertaining or relaxing. The thoughtfully-designed chef’s kitchen boasts high performance Miele and Smeg appliances, stylish granite benchtops atop easy-care laminate cabinetry, with plenty of storage provided by a nearby pantry. Also found on this level are two bright and sunny bedrooms (both with built-in robes); a chic office with ample storage; a modern, tastefully appointed bathroom; the laundry; and an expansive three-bay garage.
On the upper level, is an elegant Master Suite, second living zone and outdoor entertaining area, and a fourth, ensuited bedroom. The sizeable Master Suite comprises a spacious bedroom with a feature stone fireplace, plenty of room to recline in a comfy lounge with a good book, and exquisite views sure to delight each and every morning. A walk-in robe and gorgeous ensuite complete this private retreat. The light-filled second living area features a high ceilings and access to a tiled balcony overlooking the river, and is as suitable for a quiet Sunday brunch as it is for a cocktail party.
Outside, there is no shortage of off-street parking for vehicles, boats, caravans or motorhomes. An expansive 12 x 10 m workshop provides options for hobbyists and professionals alike. Featuring 15-amp power, an engineered concrete slab and an extra-height ceiling, your options here are limited only by your interests and imagination.
