Wake to breathtaking water views and fall asleep to the gentle sound of waves lapping the shore. This lifestyle awaits at No.50 Spitfarm Rd.
A beachfront position like this comes along only rarely, says EIS Property agent Deb Stephens.
Ms Stephens said this enviable lifestyle allows residents to embrace the beach as a natural extension of everyday life.
“People associate the beach with holidays. Each day here feels like a seaside holiday,” she said.
“Homes like this one right on the sand don’t change hands often. It is such a unique location, so beautiful, it takes your breath away.
“The family who owns No.50 bought it in 2008. They have many special memories of spending time together here.”

Nestled within the popular coastal community of Opossum Bay, Ms Stephens described this much-loved home as offering an idyllic setting for celebrations, unforgettable Christmases, and friendly games of beach cricket.
Designed to embrace its enviable waterfront position, the recently upgraded cantilevered Modwood decks with glass balustrades provide the perfect setting for long, sun-drenched afternoons.
Whether you are relaxing on the upper or lower deck, unwinding in one of the two sun-drenched living areas, or simply enjoying the view from your bedroom, you will never tire of watching the sky transform into a vibrant canvas each evening across the River Derwent to Mt Wellington.
The sunsets here are simply spectacular.

“It is a beautifully sunny space, and with the doors open to bring the sea breeze in — simply blissful.
“The home’s elevated position provides privacy and enhances the uninterrupted views, too.
“The mountain and the water are always changing. No two days are the same.”
