690 Sandy Bay Rd, Sandy Bay is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1925. The property has a land size of 540m2 and floor size of 198m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in March 2023.
This charming 1920's weatherboard residence, superbly located on the lower side of iconic Sandy Bay Road, will delight you with its jaw-dropping views across the Derwent River and breezy open plan living spaces.
A paved off-street parking bay leads through the front gates into a private front garden oasis, creating a quiet and serene entry to the home.
Once inside, the expansive river views provide a mesmerising backdrop to nearly every room, with the living area having been renovated to take full advantage of its stunning location. This area has been designed to incorporate kitchen, lounge, and dining, with glass sliding doors provide access onto a timber north facing deck.
A flexible floor plan provides multiple accommodation options, highlighted by a spacious master bedroom with large built-in robes, located adjacent to the main bathroom. A second bedroom at the entrance of the house is serviced by an ensuite, whilst the smaller 3rd bedroom is currently being utilised as an office. A sunroom located on the north side of the home could also be employed as a study, art studio, or street level laundry.
Bathed in sun and river reflections, the generous front deck also provides access to downstairs where you will find a utility room, laundry, and 3rd bathroom - perfect for storing kayaks and showering after a morning's paddle on the river. The front yard leads to a shared access path down to the high-water mark - a priceless feature of the home and much revered by those with an affinity for the river.
The home is warmed by a combination of mains gas and electric heaters featuring off peak power storage and made even more efficient by a small solar panel instalment.
