3 Steen Court, Blackmans Bay TAS 7052

Designed by renowned Preston Lane Architects and appropriately named "Horse Shoe House", this spectacular home was built in 2013 and overlooks Blackmans Bay Beach, near Hobart, in Southern Tasmania, Australia.

The property's elevated position delivers a balance of expansive water views across the River Derwent through to kunanyi and provides private inwardly focused experiences with its beautiful leafy gardens. Its perfectly positioned northeast aspect allows the sun to touch the house throughout the entire day. The house wraps around the perimeter boundary providing a unique central private space that can be enjoyed all year round.

Set on over 800m2 of northeast facing land, this considerable building has features that meet all of the modern demands of living; flexible and open spaces, private spaces, and ample amenities for even the largest of families. The design maximises the use of land and is set on three levels, leaving around 500m2 of land for external use for gardens, social and play areas, and car parking.

The design concept promotes both private places with connection and visibility to the outside, with the floorplan enabling controlled cross views between different parts of the house and the ability for it to expand and accommodate family when needed. Physical separation is achieved whilst visual contact is maintained between them, creating an inclusive living environment. A large central deck with an adjacent internal hallway connects the two pavilions that make up the horse shoe design. A stylish beautiful white wall wraps around the internal garden stairs through to the guest room and main entry, creating an impressive feature with texture and contrast due to the complimentary colours within the established gardens.

The key features of the home make for an impressive mix of spaces, amenities, and living experiences:

• Five bedrooms, two with ensuite including a separate guest room

This home is honest and organic in a Scandinavian neutral style and colour scheme, reflecting nature with materials such as natural Tasmanian Oak timber flooring, Blackwood cabinetry features, light walls, and burnished concrete. The dark textured exterior paint contrasts throughout the day, as the light and environment shift in this idyllic sunny location.

To the east, the bedroom pavilion flows from the central entertaining and family area, and the other north-facing pavilion offers a large master bedroom space complete with a library, office, and an additional upper deck with stunning views and privacy.

In the heart of the home, there is a stylish modern chef's kitchen and butler's pantry featuring two Siemens pyrolytic ovens and a 900mm induction cooktop which are set within stainless steel benchtops. The kitchen has two deep sinks, with the butler's pantry sink fully integrated into the stainless bench. A plumbed fridge alcove, high quality tapware, and a Billie hot and cold water filtration system feature.
The ground floor is set down into the site enabling garaged parking, a gym, a second laundry, and ample storage with direct access up to the kitchen and living spaces via the impressive Tasmanian hardwood stairwell.

There is easy access to the coastal track which is 300 metres away and leads down to the beautiful Blackmans Bay beach.
