Positioned close to the picturesque shores of Alonnah's seaside village and commanding breathtaking views across the jetty and sparkling waters of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, this beautifully transformed coastal cottage presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a move-in-ready home in one of Bruny Island's most sought-after locations. Since changing hands in late 2024, "Seaview" has undergone an extensive top-to-bottom transformation, with a complete renovation carried out both internally and externally. Thoughtfully reimagined to deliver modern comfort while respecting its coastal character, the home now offers the perfect balance of contemporary living and timeless island charm, with its much-loved original name proudly retained. Inside, virtually every element has been renewed. Freshly painted throughout using premium Dulux finishes, the home features new timber flooring and carpet, a stylish new kitchen complete with quality built-in appliances, including an induction cooktop, and a beautifully appointed bathroom fitted with quality Reece fixtures and tiling. Extensive electrical upgrades include new power points, switches, LED lighting, exhaust systems, reverse-cycle air conditioning, and individual heaters in each room, ensuring year-round comfort. The renovation has also enhanced the home's functionality, with the addition of a new rear extension incorporating a dedicated laundry and the new bathroom area. Featuring double-glazed windows and aluminium doors, this addition seamlessly integrates with the original cottage while providing modern convenience and improved energy efficiency. Bathed in natural light, the home enjoys an inviting contemporary coastal ambience, with both the living area and master bedroom opening via double-glazed sliding doors onto an expansive new entertaining deck. Crafted from Merbau timber and engineered with a steel beam design to preserve the outlook, this exceptional outdoor space captures sweeping views across the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, providing the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, or simply soaking in the ever-changing coastal panorama. From sunrise reflections across the water to spectacular evening sunsets, the elevated deck provides a front-row seat to the beauty of the surrounding coastline and serves as a seamless extension of the home's living spaces. The views remain as captivating as ever. Satellite Island sits prominently in the foreground, while the majestic Hartz Mountains, Adamsons Peak and distant Southern Ranges provide a dramatic backdrop beyond the channel waters. During the cooler months, snow-capped peaks grace the horizon, and on clear evenings, the Southern Aurora may even make a magical appearance from the comfort of your own living room. Externally, the improvements continue with new insulated cladding installed to three sides of the home, a new Colorbond roof and downpipe system connected to rainwater storage, and underfloor insulation throughout. Together with the double glazing and extensive upgrades, these improvements create a comfortable and energy-efficient home designed for year-round island living. Conveniently located approx. 25 minutes from the ferry terminal, "Seaview" offers an enviable balance of island tranquillity and accessibility. Positioned in the heart of Alonnah, you can enjoy easy walking access to the community health centre, pharmacy, school, post office, hotel and popular swimming beach. For lovers of the outdoors, foreshore walking tracks, the jetty, boat ramp, park and recreational facilities are all just moments away. Whether you're launching the boat, exploring the coastline, or simply embracing the relaxed pace of island life, everything you need is close at hand. Practical amenities include a spacious garage area, or workshop, sealed driveway entrance, fencing, rainwater collection, and low-maintenance grounds, ensuring more time is spent enjoying the lifestyle and less time maintaining it. Whether you're seeking a permanent residence, an idyllic holiday retreat, or a property with an established visitor accommodation permit already in place, this beautifully renovated coastal cottage delivers an exceptional combination of modern comfort, substantial infrastructure upgrades and spectacular channel views in a dreamy seaside location.
