'Grange Close' - Beachfront family residence

Privately positioned on a substantial beachfront allotment, this impressive family residence enjoys direct beach access and uninterrupted views across the River Derwent. Offered to the market for the first time in almost 45 years, the home is predominantly set over a single level and thoughtfully configured as two separate homes, providing exceptional flexibility for extended family living, multi-generational households or independent accommodation with potential to strata title, subject to council approval (STCA).

The home retains its original period charm, with high ceilings, timber architraves, decorative ceiling roses, stained-glass windows and elegant bay windows. These timeless features enhance its classic ambience while framing the ever-changing vistas enjoyed from most rooms throughout the home.

The main home offers a flexible floorplan with multiple living areas overlooking the established gardens, tennis court and water beyond. A sunroom connects to the separate formal dining room and adjoining living room, complete with an open fireplace.

The contemporary well-equipped kitchen with quality appliances is contained in a light-filled and spacious open plan living and dining area, featuring timber floorboards, skylights and reverse cycle air conditioning. This part of the home opens to the rear entertaining deck.

Two bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, are located on the entry level and are serviced by an updated central bathroom with bath. The staircase to the upper level reveals the primary suite with bird's eye views overlooking the River Derwent. A private retreat with a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite bathroom with dual access and balcony. Fall asleep to the lapping of the waves against the shore and awaken to a different view of the Derwent each morning. A second bedroom on this level could be used as a nursery or study; substantial attic storage provides valuable amenity.

The second home is set across one level and comprises three bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a combined bathroom and laundry, sunroom, formal dining room and separate living room, all framed by stunning water views. The kitchen includes casual dining and opens onto a terrace. Reverse cycle air conditioning and a separate carport with level access complete this accommodation.

Enjoying all day sun, a series of landscaped gardens surround the home, adding to the sense of seclusion and privacy. A tennis court is located in the rear garden, and an inground swimming pool is positioned alongside a large entertaining deck overlooking the River Derwent, with a gazebo providing a sheltered outdoor space. Direct beach access via a historic path further adds to the property's appeal. A scenic walking track alongside the property provides an inviting opportunity to enjoy the surrounding coastal landscape.

A double garage and additional off-street parking complete the property.

The shops and amenities of Lower Sandy Bay are only a short distance away and excellent schools and UTAS are within easy reach. With an unrivalled location, this captivating property is outstanding in every way and presents a truly rare opportunity to acquire a magnificent lifestyle on the shore of the River Derwent, just fifteen minutes from Hobart's CBD.
