12 Monaco Pl, Howrah TAS 7018, Australia
Affectionately known as ‘The White House’, from the moment you drive up to the gated entry, the River Derwent views will have you mesmerised. As the electric gates open and you begin driving down the driveway lined with Lampranthus (Pink Explosion) and Cedrela Sinensis (Chinese Toons) you will immediately feel a sense of home, particularly in spring when the flowers and leaves of these beautiful plants turn bright pink.
This magnificent property, set back from an already peaceful cul-de-sac, provides the ultimate private oasis. Filled with light, colour, sun and outstanding water and mountain views, this architectural three level home benefits greatly from its desirable design and aspect, whilst being both expansive and homely.
The main/ground level comprises outstanding features including an enviable covered entry via double timber doors with beautifully tiled foyer plus hallway, study/library room with cabinetry, immaculate Blackwood kitchen complete with stainless steel appliances, display cabinets, walk-in pantry and granite benchtops, a large light-filled dining space adjoining an extensive living area which opens onto the large balcony wrapping around the front of the home and providing outstanding, unrivalled views over Howrah Beach, the River Derwent, Hobart’s Waterfront and further to Kunanyi (Mt Wellington). The master bedroom at this level is a generous size and comprises fantastic water views, balcony access with an ensuite including spa-bath, a separate toilet and a walk-in robe. A laundry, separate powder room, storage spaces and a single lockup garage with remote roller door access are also provided.
Accessed via an internal timber stairwell, the upper level comprises three generous bedrooms, all with water/mountain views and built-in wardrobes, a linen cupboard, and bathroom with shower, bath and a separate toilet.
At the lower level is a self-contained and permit-approved B&B Studio, which includes an open living/kitchen/dining and sleeping area, large storage room and bathroom.
