Bask in the brilliant Bruny lifestyle

A GORGEOUS Bruny lifestyle awaits here at the island’s northern tip, and what a luxurious life it would be.

Fall Real Estate property consultant Jude Viney says an outstanding property of the quality and style of Rosebank at No.321 Lennon Road hits the market “very rarely”.

She says there has been “lots and lots” of interest in this sophisticated modern
abode.

“It has certainly caught the eye of potential buyers from Hobart and interstate, particularly Sydney,” Jude said.

“There is very little else like this property and the architectural showcase that it presents.

“There is only one on Bruny that I can think of that is of a similar standard.

“It is a Ray Heffernan design, an architect that is very well know and many love his significant, influential work.

“People that have lived in homes he designed tend to speak highly of those times. Heffernan is an icon in the Tasmanian architecture sector.

“This remarkable house makes a powerful statement in modernist design with its simplicity, strength of line and its sharp focus on light and space,” she said.

“Rosebank is a very special example of Bruny Island living at its best, a stylish waterfront haven.”

This magnificently located, private home is set on 7.643ha of parkland that rolls down to a private corner of Barnes Bay.

The north-facing house has a classic, timeless and contemporary appeal with its white walls, expansive indoor and outdoor living spaces, vast windows and landscaped gardens.

Jude said the home sat delicately on the gentle slop, blending into its surrounds.

“It is not an ornate home, rather it’s clean lines and unfussy design highlights the surroundings.

“You really appreciate where you are when looking out to the water, pasture and bush — and without another house in sight.

“It is very peaceful and it flows beautifully.”

Accessed by a private driveway only a couple of minutes from the Roberts Point ferry terminal, the sun-drenched frontage of Rosebank looks out over the sheltered anchorage of the same name.

Large glass sliders open from the living areas and bedrooms to the full-length deck with permanent sun umbrellas on the wide section in front of the central part of the house.

There are walled gardens at the front and rear as well as a large lockup garage with room for vehicles and storage accessed either by remote-controlled door at the back or an internal passageway from inside the house.

Inside, the spaces flow seamlessly between the modern kitchen and laundry with high-end appliances and the sensational living, dining and entertainment areas.

Each of the living zone spaces boast unrestricted views down over grassy lawns to the water’s edge and to the mountains beyond.

Gleaming quarry tiles with underfloor heating link all of the spaces.

The two large bedrooms are truly gigantic at 6.3m x 4.7m each. They are positioned at each end of the building and both feature sparkling ensuites and impressive views.

Given the size and space, it is easy to imagine turning one bedroom into two if required.

With a garden courtyard on one side and an 80sq m deck on the other, there is always somewhere relaxed and comfortable to sit — day or night.

The floor plan positions a study and laundry to the left of the entry foyer and the kitchen to the right.

Jude said Rosebank was an often admired property.

“When yachties sail past it tends to catch the eye,” she said.

“It is such a beautiful property that offers solitude, privacy, direct water access and protection from the prevailing wind, plus it is only two minutes away from the ferry.

“While there is luxurious underfloor heating throughout the home, it would rarely be needed with so much sunshine pouring into the house.”

Rosebank has irrigation rights from a permanent dam on a neighbouring boundary, with garden watering provided by pump and underground piping.

There is abundant rainwater storage in three large tanks and a mooring registered with Marine and Safety Tasmania.

No.321 Lennon Road, North Bruny is listed with Fall Real Estate Kingston and priced at “Offers over $2.25 million”.
