Inside the Tasmanian dream home everybody is talking about right now: ‘It’s simply perfect’

It’s been described as the ‘most enticing property on the market’ – and one look inside this four-bedroom house reveals why.

Located at the top of a hill in one of Launceston’s most exclusive suburbs, Blackstone Heights, 27 Columbus Drive captures the attention of everyone who steps through its doors.

The beautiful hideaway made this month’s national ‘most viewed homes’ list on realestate.com.au thanks to its modern décor, thoughtful design and most importantly, its breathtaking views.

The ‘peaceful retreat’ features four generous bedrooms, two luxurious bathrooms and ten parking spaces, making it ideal for entertaining.

And while it may look relatively unassuming from the front, those who step inside are treated to beautiful finishes and panoramic views over Lake Trevallyn

The house is offered for sale at Bushby Creese and Insitu Property without a list price.

However, it sold for $2.2 million in February 2024, despite four-bedroom, two-bathroom homes in the area typically selling for around $800,000.

Officer George Bushby said he is not at all surprised by the attention the house is receiving.

“You can’t replicate the position and views of Lake Trevallyn and the South Esk River, there is simply no other block like it,” he told realestate.com.au.

‘The quality of the construction is impressive and with the amenities it offers, it really feels like your own peaceful retreat.’

The home, built in 2020, is flooded with natural light thanks to the sloping ceilings. This is complemented by the rich, warm tones of the wooden floors.

These tones continue in the kitchen, which is equipped with the same wood as the striking beams on the island bench, along the cabinets and even in the lighting fixtures.

They also end up in the enormous butler’s pantry, where they are used on the counter tops and in the open shelves.

The butler’s pantry keeps the kitchen clutter-free for a sophisticated, minimalist atmosphere.

In the living room, wood tones are again used for the lampshades. The large space also feels cozy with the addition of a comfortable corner next to the television.

The bright, open-plan living areas flow gently through to the outdoor areas with a covered barbecue area and a protected fire pit.

There is also a sauna and hot tub so you can make the most of the private outdoor areas.

The house is built in an L-shape to make the most of the large block and amazing views, with every bathroom and bedroom offering fantastic views.

The intriguing shape also makes the backyard feel super protected and private.

Each bedroom features gray carpet making them feel cozy and warm, while somehow exuding the feeling of opulence thanks to the large windows with extraordinary views.

The master bedroom is located behind the kitchen, on the opposite side of the house from the three other bedrooms and the family bathroom, making it the ultimate escape for parents.

The enormous bedroom of six by five meters has a large walk-in closet and luxurious bathroom.

The family bathroom has a deep bath – perfect for an evening relaxation.

The house also has an attached double garage and a detached double workshop.
