5 Lindeith Court, Sandy Bay. Petrusma

FROM its perch on high overlooking the city and the river, life is pretty grand at No.5 Lindeith Court.

This elevated neighbourhood in Sandy Bay could claim to have one of the finest views of Hobart as it wraps from the mountain, past the city lights, across the bridge to the Eastern Shore and then down the river too.

Built in the early ‘90s in a Mediterranean Revival architectural style, No.5 has not been on the market in about a decade.

Petrusma Property auctioneer and property consultant, Stuart Benson, described this three-bedroom family home as “a stunner”.

“This gorgeous property would be well suited to a family who require space and convenience, or a professional couple who simply want to enjoy the lifestyle that Sandy Bay provides,” he said.

“Over the past nine years, the vendors have very much enjoyed making this property their home.”

Complementing the property’s panoramic views, it also boasts gorgeous gardens.

“The best features of this unique property would have to be the stunning panoramic outlook over the river and city, as well as the captivating walled garden with private courtyards,” Stuart said.

“From each level of the property you are provided with different aspects of the water views and no vantage point is better than that of north-facing first floor deck — it must truly be seen to be believed.

“The Mediterranean Revival architecture of this property helps inspire thoughts of warm sun, cool drinks and bright flavours.

“And I cannot think of a better place to entertain friends in the coming summer than in the professionally landscaped gardens of this privately positioned property.”

Entry into the house is via the front courtyard, highlighted by the trickling sounds of a water feature.

An atrium foyer leads to the expansive open plan living space, which contains multiple formal and informal areas for relaxation, entertaining and dining.

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame those unobstructed views of the river, city and beyond.

From the reading area, the spectacular scenery is drawn into the home while also providing access to an elevated sundeck with a frameless glass balustrade.

Generous storage, quality appliances and stone benchtops feature in the large kitchen.

Off the living area there is a separate study that could serve as a media room or a potential fourth bedroom.

Downstairs, the master bedroom suite has a private balcony overlooking the garden and river. There is a walk-in wardrobe and a spacious ensuite with a shower and a spa bath where the homeowner can relax with a glass of bubbly while enjoying the vista.

A central bathroom services two double size bedrooms, one of which is currently configured as a media room. The other enjoys external access. Both bedrooms have built-in wardrobes.

This floor is home to a studio with internal and external access. This space could suit a variety of functions including a home office.

Throughout the property there is reverse cycle airconditioning, central gas heating, a monitored security system, off-street and undercover parking, a separate laundry and a lower level workshop with storage space.

Outside, the professional landscaping provides for generous paved areas and an entirely walled garden that creates numerous secluded spaces to enjoy.

Both the upper and lower gardens are private and have been beautifully laid out with an abundance of colourful rhododendrons and

camellias together with mature cypresses and Japanese maples.

Reticulation ensures the entire garden is evenly watered and easily managed.

No.5 Lindeith Court is ideally located in an attractive, quiet street near Sandy Bay Beach and Lipscombe Larder.

It is just five minutes from the University of Tasmania, and in proximity of schools, shops and parks.

Veteran Australian property developers are giving back to their communities through creative partnerships that inspire through words and pictures.

On the banks of the Brisbane River, Frasers Property Australia has teamed up with the Northshore Men’s Shed to build a community library for the 1000 residents of Hamilton Reach in partnership with Bunnings hardware store.

While in the heart of the city, Mirvac property group has teamed up with the Brisbane Street Arts Festival to beautify its construction site at 80 Ann St, handing the gantry and timber hoardings over to street artists like aerosol painter Gus Eagleton and graphic artist Tori-Jay Mordey, Ash Taylor and The Zookeeper who have transformed the inner-city construction site.

“It’s incredibly powerful giving a public space to an artist to create an artwork,” Brisbane Street Art Festival artistic director and Vast Yonder director Lincoln Savage said.

“It builds a report with the public and makes people feel more comfortable in these spaces. If you look at the construction site pre-artwork, you don’t feel welcome, now you can see as the artwork is coming on it creates a more warm environment. It gives public spaces back to the people who inhabit those spaces.”

Residents at Hamilton Reach have been asked to donate a book to their new book swap library which opened adjacent to the wharf timber sculpture outside Riverlight at 320 MacArthur Ave, Hamilton last week.

For Frasers Property Australia development director, Jamisen Rivera, the project has been about value adding for residents and creating a deeper sense of belonging at a time when localism has seen a resurgence in the wake of the COVID-19 lockdowns.

“The value of what we have created at Hamilton Reach is as much about the truly connected masterplanned community as it is about urban design and diversity of architecture,” Ms Rivera said.

“The Hamilton Reach Book Swap Library was an initiative of a group of Hamilton Reach residents who took their idea to our dedicated community development manager. We were extremely happy to support the idea and are very proud of the way the community has come together, particularly during the past six months.”

Mirvac, which operates in the retail, residential and commercial construction space, uses public art to differentiate its developments from other builds however this is the first time Mirvac has worked with Vast Yonder and the Brisbane Street Arts Festival on a construction site.

“When you’re buying a property from Mirvac, it is regarded as a very high quality product that’s enhanced not just by the quality of the building but also the urban fabric, the artwork and the public open space,” Mirvac project director Cris Johansen said.

“We’re doing the same here at 80 Ann. We’ll have a water feature lit at night and a misting system so in the right weather that will add character to the place.”

Mr Savage said the Mirvac partnership was putting a spotlight on street art and its potential to enhance public buildings as well as private homes, giving artists a much-needed boost during an incredibly difficult period for the arts sector.

Gus Eagleton’s work features in private homes in Brisbane.

“I love that we are seeing some residential properties embracing public art,” he said.

“It does increase the property price and it’s great for artists when the arts industry is so affected through COVID.”

Australian researchers see clear links between public art and a more defined sense of place, making a location more attractive for home buyers, particularly those who appreciate art and culture.

Overseas research from the UK’s Affordable Art Fair in 2017 showed 43 per cent of British people would prefer to live near great street art than a coffee shop and 32 per cent would pay up to £50,000 extra for a property in an area with colourful street art.

AN ALMOST $10 million project located three doors down from the site of a recently rejected redevelopment proposal would provide a mix of residential apartments and student accommodation in inner Hobart.

A development application has been submitted to the Hobart City Council for demolition of the existing building at 63 Davey St and construction of a new building which would house 21 student apartments plus a further 30 residential apartments with 42 carparking spaces.

Designed by local firm JAWS Architecture, Ireneinc Planning and Urban Design submitted the planning report on behalf of developers Tellyros Klonis Unit Trust.

The $9.8 million proposal is for the site of the former Hobart Navy Club, which is currently used as furniture storage, and next door to the St Helens Private Hospital.

It is also three doors down from the Welcome Stranger Hotel, which was the subject site of a proposed $30m redevelopment last year which was refused by council on heritage grounds, a decision which was also backed by the state’s planning tribunal.

The planning report for the Tellyros Klonis Unit Trust’s development said the original proposal had been through a number of design iterations that had been discussed with the council’s planning and heritage officers and its Urban Design Advisory Panel.

“As a result of these discussions and the recent Tribunal ruling in regard to the proposal at 58

Harrington Street[Welcome Stranger], the proposal has been revised,” the report said.

The lower podium of the building would be three storeys, with the rear part of the building rising to 35 metres at its highest point set back off the street.

“The setback of the larger form from the street provides a substantial distinction from the

streetscape, reducing the overall prominence of the building when experienced from street level, where the primary facade becomes the defining image of the development,” the planning report said.

“The proposed building does not unreasonably dominate the heritage precinct as the larger form is respectfully setback from the streetscape, allowing the dominant 2-3 storey heritage facades to remain as the defining feature of the precinct.

“The relationship the building has to the street frontage has been given a considerable degree of attention to ensure that urban design cues are taken from the historic values of the neighbouring buildings.

“The facade will fill the existing void within the streetscape with high quality finishes and

contemporary design that integrates with the existing form of the street.”

The application said the development would contribute to the vibrancy of the city “by providing for 24 hour presence” and “bring substantial social and economic benefits to the CBD by providing much needed residential apartments and studio/serviced apartments.”

Public comment on the application closes on September 4.
