20 Swanwick Dr, Coles Bay is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 2000. The property has a land size of 718m2 and floor size of 116m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in April 2021.
Unassuming from the street, 20 Swanwick Drive is a home you will instantly fall in love with as you step inside. Exquisitely styled and updated, the home reflects its premium position on the shores of the Swan River. Known as 'The Reads', this home is a fully furnished three bedroom retreat which has been curated to appeal to the premium short stay accommodation market.
Step outside through the gorgeous timber french doors and you are just metres to the shoreline; there are so few genuine waterfront properties where it is a flat few steps to the water. Hidden from the street and at the rear of the home, a generous deck looks out over ever-changing river views - the perfect spot for morning coffee or long lunches outdoors.
Inside, vaulted ceilings and exposed timber beams frame an open-plan kitchen, living and dining space, warmed by a wood fire and featuring relaxed nautical styling with carefully curated vintage pieces. Oversized windows draw the river inside, turning the water into a living backdrop. The main bedroom captures the same sweeping outlook with its own private balcony.
Styled by Tasmanian interior designer Vonda Mason and can be sold complete with furniture, The Reads is ready to walk into - continue it as an established tourism investment, keep it entirely as a private escape, or enjoy both.
Just minutes from the shops, cafs and conveniences of Coles Bay, and a short drive to the walking trails and beaches of Freycinet National Park, this is waterfront living, done properly.
