DWELLERS BY THE SEA

Ovelooking the curiously named Pensioners Bay and over to Sheepwash Bay on Bruny Island this newly listed property in a sought-after part of Gordon packs a lot of appeal into its compact footprint.<br/><br/>In an elevated position the home is just across the road from the dramatic waterscape of the d'Entrecasteaux Channel.<br/><br/>There is a lot to explore here and as you enter the driveway through the automatic gates you begin to realise that this is a home that has been designed to maximise its owners' privacy as well as take advantage of its position.<br/><br/>The concrete driveway leads past a well constructed outbuilding on the right hand side. Featuring two rooms this building would make the perfect studio or office space with the fabulous water view creating either the perfect source of inspiration or a visual distraction from work.<br/><br/>Continuing up the driveway there is an attractively planted, well-tended garden on the left hand side. <br/><br/>Steps from the driveway lead up to the front entrance of the home. The verandah, running the full length of the front of the home, creates the perfect spot to relax and enjoy taking in those wonderful views and the ever-changing moods of the Channel.<br/><br/>Entering the home you are immediately greeted by a warm and welcoming open-plan living area featuring lounge, dining and kitchen.<br/><br/>To the left of the entry is the lounge with a bay window perfectly framing the water views. <br/><br/>A good sized dining area is to the right of the front door. <br/><br/>A floor mounted reverse-cycle air conditioner (known as a heat pump in Tassie) is situated in this area and provides both heating and cooling for the home.<br/><br/>The kitchen is perfectly proportioned and has a breakfast bar, plenty of storage including a corner pantry and ample worktop space.<br/><br/>The kitchen is well equipped with a dishwasher, oven and electric cooktop.<br/><br/>At the rear of the home are two bedrooms, both with built-in robes as well as the family bathroom with bath, vanity and corner shower.<br/><br/>The separate toilet is adjacent to the laundry. The laundry, with plenty of storage space, has access to the back door which in turn leads out to the fabulous undercover outdoor living area and the backgarden.<br/><br/>This is where the property really stands out.<br/><br/>A lot of care and attention to detail has been applied to this space with all of the features fitted and finished to a high standard.<br/><br/>The undercover deck is a cosy retreat on a winters day and provides shade and shelter during the summer months with the mandatory beer fridge positioned near the barbecue.<br/><br/>This adds a second living space to the home and is perfect for entertaining.<br/><br/>The beautifully maintained back garden features a lawn which leads around to the carport with concrete hardstand. This provides undercover parking for two cars with an adjacent workshop catering for those essential maintenance jobs.<br/><br/>The property has ample freshwater storage and also features an Envirocycle wastewater treatment system providing underground irrigation for the garden. <br/><br/>This part of Gordon is very popular as it's just far enough away from the boat ramp and camping grounds to maintain privacy whilst at the same time having convenient access to both as well as the white sand beach of nearby Verona Sands.<br/><br/>This would make a beaut home for those wanting to downsize and enjoy a Channel lifestyle or those wanting a quality weekender with a difference.<br/><br/>
