32 Roslyn Ave, Kingston Beach TAS 7050, Australia
THE VIEW
Wake up to sunrise over Kingston Beach – is this the best view in Hobart?
Where else in an Australian capital city can you sip your morning coffee and look out over a beach, a golf course, tree-topped cliffs, two rivers and a football oval?
This glorious view extends across the River Derwent to South Arm, Opossum Bay and the hazy mountains beyond.
Best of all, the view can never be built-out – it’s yours forever.
Fall asleep to the sound of the waves and look forward to sunrise.
THE HOUSE
With four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living areas across two levels, your family can spread themselves out in this versatile home.
This is a sun-filled house, facing north-east to catch all-day sun, sparkling on the Tasmanian Oak floorboards. A Saxon wood heater, four heat pumps and heating ducts keep the winter chills at bay.
There’s an updated kitchen (gas cooktop and Smeg dishwasher), a European laundry (LG washing machine and Bosch dryer), upstairs and downstairs bathrooms, attic storage, and a fabulous covered deck with an outdoor sink, looking out over Kingston Beach village – perfect for entertaining.
Downstairs dates from 1963, and still has some mid-Century touches. Upstairs was added in 1996 and makes the most of those sensational views!
THE BLOCK
Head down the garden steps onto terraced lawns, surrounded by apple, pear, olive, lemon and lime trees – plus a fire-pit and a secret tree house!
At a generous 2764 sqm, there’s plenty of room to develop here (STCA) – perhaps a sunny self-contained studio or Airbnb, or a lock-up shed at the bottom of the block to store bikes and kayaks.
THE LOCATION
A private garden walkway delivers you directly to Kingston Beach Oval – your extended backyard. Kick the footy with the kids, run a few laps, have a hit in the cricket nets, or catch a game from the clubrooms or the retro grandstand.
You’re on the Kingston Beach sand in a couple of minutes. Swim out to the pontoon, paddle your kayak, walk the dog on Tyndall Beach, discover hidden Boronia Beach, hook a fish in Browns River, or explore the gorgeous Alum Cliffs Trail.
Hungry? Warm up with a coffee, brunch, lunch or dinner in the local cafes, restaurants, and wine bars – or head to the Salty Dog pub or some live music in the beer garden on a Sunday afternoon.
The Kingston shops and services are 2 minutes away – Hobart city centre is a 15-minute drive.
Out and about, explore the backroads to Fern Tree and snowcapped kunanyi / Mount Wellington, or head over the hill into the beautiful Huon Valley for lush Tasmanian produce.
PARKING
There’s off-street parking for at least four cars here, including a lock-up workshop/garage, a parking bay at street level, and plenty of space on the beach side of the house – a rarity on Roslyn Ave.
This roomy, four-bedroom family home is one to cherish – a unique beach house with character, lots of land and unbeatable views.
