Gorgeously stretching across the twinkling lights to the bridge and sweeping around past the Eastern Shore, this remarkable home’s vista makes a grand first impression.

Is this Hobart’s best view? This thought was hard to shake when inspecting this superb West Hobart home.

No.15 Fielding Dr is elevated above the cityscape in an exclusive street.

The triple-bedroom property is an architecturally crafted sanctuary where panoramic views, luxury finishes, and intelligent design coalesce into a lifestyle of rare distinction.

Property representative from Wolf Property, Matthew Macdonald, said this stunning property had been completely reimagined by its current owner in 2015.

“This exceptional residence — designed by Shane Mann — is defined by its Scandinavian-inspired minimalism, curated privacy and commanding outlook over the River Derwent and Hobart CBD,” he said.

“The interiors by Mirella Bywaters and Japanese-inspired garden design by Lindsay Campbell complete a collaboration of masterful intent.”

The home’s setting has a luxury penthouse feel, without the hustle and bustle of an apartment in the city, and with the addition of lush, private gardens.

With a perfectionist’s eye for detail, the owners have crafted an unmatched lifestyle.

“It is a special property,” Mr Macdonald said. “It’s a private oasis.”

Set across a 723sq m allotment, the 172sq m main residence is set over two levels, with the entire upper floor devoted to a private east-facing master retreat that offers panoramic views of the city and River Derwent.

This level features a spacious walk-in wardrobe, sleek ensuite and a sense of serenity.

A second bedroom and bathroom — with a full soaking tub — enhance flexibility and comfort on the ground floor.

The centrepiece of the home is a vast open-plan living domain where Royal Oak flooring, a large Staron benchtop and an Escea gas fireplace bring warmth and texture.

The gourmet kitchen boasts V-ZUG double ovens and induction cooktop, integrated Liebherr fridge and Asko dishwasher, and triple sink with Zip instant hot water tap.

Extensive double glazing opens onto a natural stone east-facing entertaining deck with a retractable electric awning and spotted gum surrounds — capturing sun by day and sparkling vistas by night.

This level also enjoys the additional benefit of a combined butler’s pantry and laundry.

While the gigantic views and the high-end appliances are the headline-grabbing features, this is also a home of smaller, yet brilliant, features. From the cutout in the entry wall that reveals the view sooner than one expects to the facial recognition that allows entry into the residence — it’s a home with something exciting to discover around every corner.

Another pleasant surprise that awaits, just around the corner from the entertainment deck, is the in-deck, private, gas-heated cedar hot tub.

Mr Macdonald said the owners had convenience in mind with this luxe addition.

“It can be filled and heated with just the touch of a button,” he said.

“From empty to fully operational within a few hours.”

The home is comfortable year-round with ducted electric heating, a separate split system for the master suite, Somfy electric window furnishings throughout, solar power and heat pump hot water — integrating efficiency with eco-conscious living.

At the rear of the main house there is a detached 33sq m studio with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, study nook, and a separate reverse cycle system — ideal as guest quarters, a home office or income-producing accommodation (STCA).

The grounds are low maintenance, watered via an irrigation system. Here, another detail reveals itself, with Cor-Ten features and an artistic flourish by Watermark Designs echoing throughout the space from the front gate to the kitchen splashback.

Completing the lifestyle offering are two electric-gated driveways with off-street parking for four or more vehicles, including carport space for two cars.

Mr Macdonald said he expects the property will appeal to a range of buyers — from families to people who love to entertain.

“Certainly people who are looking to downsize, but they don’t want to move into an apartment yet,” he said.

“People who have family that come to visit will love the flexibility of the floorplan.

“And we have had professional couples show interest ahead of the launch this week.”

No.15 Fielding Dr, West Hobart, is listed with Wolf Property and priced at $1.95m-plus.
