Life will be easy, breezy in this minimalist abode
For lovers of a minimal aesthetic and lifestyle, a home such as this beauty in Blackmans Bay might just tick every box
SKILFULLY designed for a contemporary lifestyle, this modernist home is as warm and welcoming as it is minimalist and sleek.
Hobart architect Graham Hills and the property owners collaborated on the design of this highly appealing family-sized home at Blackmans Bay and the result is stunning.
Jess Hansen, property representative at Charlotte Peterswald for Property, described the home as “highly admired”.
She said the property was designed to capture the perfect integration of timeless exterior and interior design.
“It is a commanding residence epitomising the fundamentals of pure modernist architecture,” Jess said.
“Among its many appealing features, the house has a really nice flow from the internal to the outdoor spaces.
“The design and warm interiors are appealing.
“It is also just one block back from the beach and you can hear the waves breaking from the front deck.”
The residence features four generously proportioned bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and two sumptuous bathrooms.
The unique floorplan wraps the bedrooms around an impressive timber deck.
From the north side of the home there are two bedrooms — one 4.4m x 3m and the other 3.7m x 2.6m — with a study or sitting room adjacent.
The floorplan loops around past the living zone to reach a third bedroom (4m x 3.1m), a bathroom, and then on to the expansive, luxurious master bedroom.
Carefully considered glazing gives each space a light and bright, indoor-outdoor feel.
The open-plan kitchen, living and dining area is an absolute showstopper.
It is fitted with state-of-the art appliances and luxury finishes and it effortlessly flows to the private entertainment area.
Jess said those that have inspected the property had been impressed by the quality of the build and finishes.
“Many liked that inside and outside flow, that was well-received, and also the low-maintenance living that the home offers,” she said.
“A purchaser could move in with nothing to do but enjoy the home.
“They have said it feels like a luxurious beach house where you can take a short stroll to the beach and nearby restaurants and cafes — that was certainly appealing to many people.”
No.44 Wells Pde is the type of home where nothing has been overlooked in its design and construction.
Featured in this quality home are large expanses of glass that take full advantage of the river views on offer.
An east-facing orientation captures an array of natural light deep into the interior of the home.
Jess described the living spaces as “flexible”.
“Its living spaces are not bound by internal walls with the indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly integrated to form a generous, continuous space where entertaining will be a pleasure,” she said.
In winter, the living room and the open-plan zone will be warmed via a wood heater. From this room there is access to a luxurious bathroom with a tub and toilet. Chic black tapware gives the bathroom a contemporary feel.
In the other blissful bathroom there are ceiling-height tiles, a walk-in shower and an attractive vanity with a timber top.
In the kitchen, the home chef will be able to take advantage of a huge island bench with a sink, heaps of cupboard space and a gas cooktop.
Rather than a traditional tile or glass splashback, the kitchen has a long window with a lovely green view just behind the cooktop.
Set on a 596sq m parcel of land, the next owner of this property will find grounds that have been fully landscaped to create a low-maintenance yet stunning outdoor living space.
There is even a bubbling hot tub and an outdoor shower.
Jess said, at this stage, most potential buyers of the property have been locals.
“Due to the home being such a low-maintenance property set over one level, on the flat and close to the beach, we believe this property would be ideal for a number of buyers — families, couples, retirees or downsizers.”
No.44 Wells Parade, Blackmans Bay is listed with Charlotte Peterswald for Property and is priced at $995,000+.
