3 Woolton Place, Sandy Bay, TAS 7005

Calling for devotees of post war modernist architecture and the clean, unpretentious simple designs of that style using no nonsense materials with structural finesse...number 3 Woolton Place, situated just off Churchill Avenue is a fine example of this timeless architecture of which became the signature of celebrated Victorian born architect, Esmond Dorney.

Decidedly nonconformist, he commenced articles with Walter Burley Griffin and subsequently moved to Tasmania. Drawing on his wartime service as a pilot, framing vistas and leading the eye to a cameo view of treetops, water and sky was a feature of Dorney design.
Constructed in 1958...broad eaves and an expansive deck dominates the facade with access to the interior from the garden to the side. Timber features throughout from polished boards to the original and unique, stunning curved wall panelling giving universal instant appeal.

High ceilings in the superb living/dining room complement a fabulous use of glazing and ensuring an abundance of sunlight and warmth permeates this space. Worthy of mention is the huge, 'fifties cool' freestone fireplace built to accommodate larger logs, a focal point of the room, wonderful in winter of course but equally attractive trans season. Privacy is afforded with the planting of a mature landscape and provides a relaxed, tranquil feel immediately apparent on entering the room.
A recently updated kitchen, (complete with European laundry nook) in keeping with the integrity of the original design principles is adjacent to the living area and is lovely with crisp white composite stone benchtops and smart black joinery. Care was taken to retain the windows and replicate the cornices found elsewhere...a nod to the inception of the build.

A delightful window seat is the perfect spot for casual entertaining and a gorgeous nook to enjoy that leafy outlook.

There are up to 4 bedrooms complete with built-in storage...a renovated bathroom, powder room, in addition to a laundry and extra bathroom at ground level servicing the accommodation.

This area has great potential to convert to a self-contained studio as there is easy access to plumbing under the house, an open utility area and a separate entrance off the parking apron.

The overhanging deck doubles as a carport for two cars and there is space for an extra 2 vehicles. A nice garden with some fruit trees, citrus and ornamentals surround the main structure.

Grasp this opportunity to secure a very special property, a lovely example of this renowned architect's work. Importantly, possibilities abound here to add value and enhance the original footprint whilst remaining sensitive to the same!

Superb location in the heart of Sandy Bay, walking distance to UTAS, The Hutchins School, gourmet Hill Street Food Store and of course the waterfront off Sandy Bay Road.
