Will you be the fortunate new custodians of 48 Prospect Road, Sandford - a special property on 4.8 acres approximately, only five minutes from the Lauderdale hub, and twenty-five minutes to Hobart's CBD? Accessed by a private driveway, you are immediately taken aback by the backdrop of beautiful hills and paddocks, and the harmonious sound of birdcalls. What a sensory delight! This beautiful property has had only two owners - the most recent having enjoyed living here for 19 years and leaving with a heavy heart. The homesteads' commanding and elevated views over the property are enjoyed from every room and aspect of the home. Fertile green paddocks and productive established gardens with the most extensive selection of fruit trees and vegetables will keep you self-sufficient all year round. Over the years the family has relished enjoying an ever-extending family of bandicoots, wallabies, kookaburras, native hens, echidna … and their domestic sheep and chickens. This is a warm and welcoming family home with tasteful décor. A classic Federation design distinguished by the red brick exterior, stained glass, return verandah, high ceilings, finials, turned-timber posts, and fretwork. The original owner is a well-known builder who had collected an eclectic mix of historic pieces and materials specially chosen to create this very unique home. The entry portico with a historic front door leads through into a sun-filled family room with a dining area and a beautifully appointed kitchen with country-style cabinetry and a butler's pantry. The formal separate lounge with an antique fireplace incorporates an efficient pot-belly stove. Both rooms flow out to the verandah through double doors providing a splendid viewing platform from which to absorb this idyllic setting whilst benefitting from the fresh, clean air. Down the wide hallway, the sleeping accommodation is found. Consisting of the master bedroom with his and hers walk-through wardrobes, ensuite bathroom, and garden access. There are three queen-sized bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and study desks, and the fifth bedroom currently acts as an office. The main bathroom features a claw-foot bath, shower, and double vanity. A separate toilet, large laundry, and back door mudroom area complete this well-designed level. The second floor is open-plan and currently used as a studio/rumpus room - a multi-purpose area to utilise as you wish. A complete bonus for the growing family. Various outbuildings are located a convenient distance away from the main homestead. The double tandem carport with a roller door at one end was originally used for horse floats. The second access gate and gravel road that leads to this drive-through outbuilding were constructed for this purpose. A lined garage and workshop with a utility area (originally lived in whilst the home was under construction) are located next to the carport. The cubby house with an attached storage shed, a chicken shed, and an animal shelter total a further 127 sqm in usable area. I could write a book about this very special property. It is certainly in your best interest to come and experience it for yourself. Bring your walking boots, and make an appointment to view today!
