Sleek sophistication in dream home showstopper

IT’S not often that a jaded old real estate writer will let out a gasp. But that’s what happened in Howrah late last week.

The promise was a beautiful modern home built by the water’s edge. And No.31 Corinth St ticked that box with ease.

This magnificent five-bedroom home is one of only a handful of absolute waterfront properties on Hobart’s Eastern Shore.

And from the front gate onward, the owners of this modern marvel have clearly gone above and beyond to make the most of their wonderful position.

The architecture is bold with soaring ceilings in the vast atrium and curving stairs leading to the heavenly master. And yet, the home has an enticing warmth; it feels like you could move right in and never want to leave.

Blue Edge Property general manager Andrew Wells said the home was without doubt one of the best on the market in Hobart.

“The design, meticulous attention to detail and overall quality of the property are going to make it very popular,” he said.

Sprawling, sleek and sophisticated, the home is jam-packed full of impressive features. From the entertainer’s kitchen to the incredible master bedroom or the wide deck with uninterrupted water and mountain views — this is a property where 10 visitors could all name 10 different favourite features.

For Mr Wells, the location springs to mind first, which he described as “second to none”.

“It’s certainly not every day that you come across road-to-water access like this,” he said.

“The attention to detail in terms of finishes and the sense of light, and space throughout the home really stand out to me.

“It’s easy to say that the main bedroom with a bath overlooking the river, or the walls of glass that open to allow seamless flow from indoors to out, or the multiple living spaces are all equally amazing features … But this property is far more than just the sum of its parts, it has a real je ne sais quoi that makes it look and feel so effortlessly stylish.”

No.31 is privately positioned, almost entirely hidden from the street.

Located on a spacious 936sq m title, the beautiful residence stretches across a 307sq m floorplan.

A secure double garage with workshop space, laundry, and low-maintenance landscaping makes for lock-up-and-go convenience.

Exceptional and rarely offered, the property has a street-to-water position with absolute water frontage, and a full slipway that is sure to catch the eye of buyers who are also boaties. It’s a level of luxury that adds to the incredible lifestyle on offer here.

Too much cannot be said about the commanding, world-class views across the river to the sparkling lights of Hobart city and then Mt Wellington beyond.

While a private sanctuary of contemporary elegance, the home would also be perfect for those who love to entertain with its indoor-outdoor living areas that flow seamlessly from the deck to the open kitchen and to the superb living rooms.

Masterfully designed and built, this home reflects Hobart’s climate, lifestyle and culture exquisitely.

The craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail sings in every room.

While the whole home is impressive, the upstairs master bedroom is otherworldly with its opulent bathtub, shower with river views, large private deck and a walk-in wardrobe. As you step inside, prepare to be wowed — and maybe let out a gasp.

At No.31, palatial living is guaranteed, a lifestyle that many dream of but few would be lucky enough to enjoy.

Mr Wells said its space, layout, location and design would attract a variety of buyers simply because “it offers so much”.

“The sheer diversity of use in such a stunning location coupled with the absolute opulence of the house is something that is rarely seen — it’s going to be popular,” he said.

A state-of-the-art designer home, on the water in Howrah … How uncommon is that?

“These types of properties rarely come to market,” Mr Well said.

“They’re once in a lifetime opportunities for a lot of people.

“It is one of only 19 properties in the 7018 postcode that boast a high water mark boundary.”

A short stroll from No.31 brings you to Little Howrah Beach, with destinations like Blundstone Arena, Eastlands Shopping Centre and local recreation grounds nearby.

The home is a 15-minute drive from Hobart CBD and a convenient five minutes from the stores and amenities of Howrah.

No.31 will be sold by expressions of interest.
