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 home reveals why.

Perched on top of a hill in one of Launceston’s most exclusive suburbs, Blackstone Heights, 27 Columbus Drive commands attention from all who step through the doors.

The gorgeous hideaway made the national ‘most viewed homes’ list on realestate.com.au this month thanks to its modern decor, thoughtful design and, most notably, the breathtaking view.

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

And while it may look relatively humble from the front, those who step inside are treated to exquisite finishing touches and panoramic views over Lake Trevallyn 

The home is listed for sale with Bushby Creese and Insitu Property with no listing price. 

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

Agent George Bushby said he isn’t at all surprised by the attention the home is getting.

The home is perched on top of a hill over looking Lake Trevallyn

And each room has incredible views

‘You cannot replicate the position and views of Lake Trevallyn and the South Esk River there’s simply no other block like it,’ he told realestate.com.au.

‘The quality of the build is impressive and with the amenities it offers, it truly does feel like your own tranquil retreat.’

The home, which was built in 2020, is flooded with natural light thanks to its pitched ceilings. This is complimented by the rich, warm tones of the wooden floors.

These tones continue into the kitchen, which features the same wood as statement beams on the island bench, along the cupboards and even in the light fixtures.

They also flow into the huge 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 vibe.

In the living room the wooden tones are used, once again, for the lightshades. The grand space also feels cosy with the addition of a comfortable nook next to the television.

The bright, open living areas gently flow through to the alfresco zones which include a covered barbecue area and protected fire pit.

The home is cosy and extravagant at the same time

The home is built in an L-shape to make the most of the large block and amazing views, with each bathroom and bedroom boasting amazing outlooks.

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

Each bedroom features grey carpet which makes them feel cosy and warm, while somehow carrying through the feeling of opulence thanks to the large windows with extraordinary views.

The master bedroom is located behind the kitchen, on the opposite end of the house to the three other bedrooms and family bathroom – making it the ultimate parent escape.
