The Glover Glasshouse - 3 Bedroom - Sweeping Views
Welcome to your private sanctuary in Sandy Bay, where timeless elegance collides with relaxed coastal living. Elevated above the River Derwent, this beautifully appointed home captures sweeping water views, abundant natural light, and a sense of calm that defines the very best of southern Tasmania.
Designed for both comfort and style, the residence offers a seamless blend of classic character and modern convenience. Generous living and dining spaces are framed by large windows that showcase ever-changing views of Hobart’s most iconic landmarks: the River Derwent, city skyline, and Tasman Bridge. A warm and inviting atmosphere for quiet mornings, long lunches, or evenings spent unwinding as the sun sets over the water.
The kitchen is fully equipped for gourmet cooking and entertaining - with a range of appliances, preparation space, and staples in the pantry - while the home’s thoughtful layout provides ample space for families or groups to relax without feeling crowded. Multiple indoor and outdoor areas allow guests to spread out and enjoy the property at their own pace, whether that means gathering together or finding a quiet corner to retreat.
The home accommodates guests across several well-appointed bedrooms, all including luxury linen and stunning views. The master includes a walk in wardrobe and ensuite, whilst the other two double bedrooms are more secluded on the ground floor.
Outdoors, the property continues to impress with its elevated position and peaceful surrounds. Landscaped grounds and inviting seating areas create the perfect setting for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or a glass of wine while taking in the uninterrupted river views.
Located just minutes drive from Hobart’s CBD, the home offers both privacy and convenience. You’ll find yourself close to beaches, scenic walking tracks, and a vibrant selection of cafés, restaurants, and local shops, making it an ideal base for exploring everything the area has to offer.
