Blackmans Bay has long been a sought-after suburb for homebuyers as well as renters due mainly to its relaxed seaside lifestyle and its convenient proximity to Hobart, which makes the daily commute for city-based workers easy to manage. Blackmans Bay has a diverse range of built property, from the ultra modern new builds through to the original beach shacks. This fastidiously maintained property at number 5 Stirling Avenue in the Bay has the charm and flexibility of substantial and comfortable family homes built in 1979. With an open easterly aspect both the interior and rear garden of the property are remarkably private. Set in a commanding position overlooking the street, the home is spread over two levels with the ground floor featuring an entrance hallway with internal access to the large double car garage with additional workshop, separate toilet and concreted storage under croft. On the ground floor there is also a large 26 square metre fully lined room currently used as a home office / rumpus but easily adapted to a multitude of uses. A flight of stairs leads from the entrance hall up to a landing which has a sliding door leading out onto the back garden. From this level another short internal flight of stairs leads up to the first floor landing. To one side is an attractive and spacious formal living room with views towards the water. On the other side of the hallway is a substantial dining room which in turn leads to a large kitchen and breakfast/meals area. A sliding door leads out onto a balcony which takes in the distant water views; perfect for that early morning croissant and café au lait. The kitchen has been updated with plenty of storage and work surfaces resulting in a really enjoyable and flexible space for the keen cook. Doorways from either the kitchen or dining room open up into a hallway leading to three bedrooms all with pleasant outlooks. The main bedroom, with views over the back garden, has built-in robes as well as an en-suite with shower, vanity and toilet. Completing this section of the home is the family bathroom with bath, shower and vanity as well as an adjacent separate toilet and the separate laundry room. The laundry has an external door which leads out onto the fully fenced rear garden including a large shed with power. This part of the property is an unexpected delight with terraced lawned areas leading down to an entertaining area with shade sail. Access into the home is also possible from this part of the garden through sliding doors into the mid-level section of the staircase leading from the entrance hallway up to the first floor. The most appealing aspect of this property is the flexible layout of the home which will appeal to a wide range of potential purchasers. Other features include solar hot water and grid connected solar system to assist in keeping energy bills down. The property is well positioned to take advantage of its close proximity to local schools, public transport links as well as the lovely nearby beach and walking tracks. The Blackmans Bay shopping centre is conveniently close and offers a wide range of shops and services. This well maintained and attractive property offers the perfect solution for families looking for a convenient location in a quiet street or those who have the need for flexible living arrangements in a suburb which continues to grow in popularity.
