17 Wayne Avenue

Built in 1955 and remarkably well maintained, this substantial double-brick home presents an increasingly rare opportunity to secure a quality original residence in one of Sandy Bay's most established locations. Set on approximately 792m², the home enjoys an elevated position with views across the River Derwent to the Tasman Bridge and Eastern Shore, together with excellent sun and a wonderful sense of privacy.

The main living level offers a generous lounge room opening directly onto a concrete patio - a particularly appealing place to sit in the sun, entertain friends or simply enjoy the outlook. Beneath the existing carpet are Tasmanian Oak floorboards, providing another glimpse of the character and potential waiting to be uncovered. Accommodation is particularly generous, with four bedrooms and two bathrooms on the main level.

Downstairs, a separate rumpus, study or studio provides valuable additional space and flexibility, complemented by substantial under-house storage and workshop areas, including a section that could lend itself beautifully to use as a wine cellar. Outside, easy-care gardens provide pleasant outdoor space to enjoy without demanding too much attention. Parking is well catered for with a single carport, offering useful space for a car, trailer, small boat or caravan, plus off-street parking behind for a further three vehicles in tandem.

While the interiors remain largely reflective of their era, the property has clearly been exceptionally well cared for and presents in excellent condition both inside and out. Recent improvements include a recently painted roof and new gutters, roof insulation and mains gas hot water, while heating and cooling are provided by both a mains gas heater and reverse-cycle air conditioner. For families, there is space to spread out and a substantial home to grow into.

For downsizers, it offers the opportunity to retain generous accommodation, storage and outdoor space in a highly regarded location. And for buyers looking to renovate, the combination of double-brick construction, Tasmanian Oak floors, generous proportions and established river outlook provides an excellent foundation for a thoughtful contemporary update.
