6 Lipscombe Avenue, Sandy Bay, Tas 7005

Positioned on a 1,384m2 block up a long, private drive and set away from the busy street, this 1950's family residence will welcome you with breathtaking panoramic vistas of Mount Wellington (Kunanyi), the River Derwent, Hobart city, Eastern shore and beyond. It must be seen to be believed. Belying the relatively sparse and undramatic street frontage this glamorous home occupies an enviable position which captures all-day sun and heart-throbbing views.

Designed and built for everyday function and flexibility, a high level of craftsmanship also graces every corner of the original interior, which incorporates timeless features of its era, excellent accommodation and a generous amount of living and storage space. It represents an attainable lifestyle-haven for families looking to enter the prestigious Sandy Bay market.

Meander up the staircase to the main living zones which radiate warmth, floor to ceiling windows invite the outside in and where you can take in the magnificent views. With both a formal lounge and sitting room there are spaces for the entire family to enjoy and relax. The slightly sunken sitting room creates a divide within the dining area whilst soaking in endless sunshine with the North facing outlook and lavish views. Heating options include gas or wood heating which are both great for warmth and ambience. 

The kitchen space has been modernised with an updated gas cooktop and electric oven, pantry and plenty of bench and cupboard space, whilst still capturing the classic 50's style with the sliding serving counter still being used to combine both the kitchen and sitting/entertaining area. The laundry is located directly from the kitchen with copious amounts of storage options and near the back door for easy access to the clothesline.  

Accommodation is kept simple, with four spacious bedrooms all with built ins which are flanked by a generous additional sitting area, perfect for a kid's TV area or a possible study/office space. All bedrooms are serviced by the uniquely 1950's style bathroom which separates the bath and showers rooms. 

With scope to further improve by simply renovating throughout, the property will entice the most sophisticated buyer with an eye on adding capital value in one of the area's most desirable and sought-after locations.  

Outside the gardens are well established, whilst still having spaces for the new owner to add their personal touch. Veggies patches are in place but just require a green thumb to re-create these productive spaces. Front gardens are also well-established and comprise a mix of trees and shrubs for a low maintenance but effortless look. 

Parking will never be an issue with the two-car carport, ensuring convenience for your vehicles. A workshop/rumpus space is located underneath the property and provides a great space for at home handy-men or hobby enthusiasts to tinker and enjoy. Alternatively, just utilise the area for storage. An outside toilet is also located off the carport for added convenience. 

Sandy Bay is a prestigious location due to its proximity to the city; not only is Lipscombe Avenue  an easy commute to the Hobart CBD but it enjoy the benefits of being close to the new and famous Blac Fig Café along with quick access to Nutgrove beach through a lane off of Sandy Bay Road so your summer mornings are sorted! Surround yourself with prestigious private and public schools, the Sandy Bay shopping precinct and local transport, why would your family want to be anywhere else!
