It has been described as “the most attractive property on the market”, and a look inside this four-bedroom home reveals why.
Located on top of a hill in one of Launceston’s most exclusive suburbs, Blackstone Heights, 27 Columbus Drive catches the attention of all who walk through its doors.
The magnificent hideaway features on the national ‘most viewed homes’ list on realestate.com.au this month thanks to its modern décor, thoughtful design and, above all, stunning views.
The ‘tranquil retreat’ features four spacious bedrooms, two luxurious bathrooms and ten parking spaces, making it ideal for entertaining.
And while it may appear relatively humble from the front, those who enter are treated to exquisite finishing touches and panoramic views of Lake Trevallyn.
The house is listed for sale with Bushby Creese and Insitu Property with no list price.
However, it sold for $2.2 million in February 2024, even though four-bedroom, two-bathroom homes in the area typically sell for around $800,000.
Agent George Bushby said he’s not at all surprised by the attention the house is receiving.

The house is situated on the top of a hill overlooking Lake Trevallyn.
And each room has incredible views.
“You can’t replicate the position and views of Lake Trevallyn and the South Esk River – there is simply no other block like it,” he told realestate.com.au.
“The build quality is impressive and with the amenities it offers, it really makes it feel like your own peaceful retreat.”
The house, built in 2020, is flooded with natural light thanks to its sloped ceilings. This is complemented by the rich, warm tones of the wooden floors.
These tones continue in the kitchen, which features the same wood as statement beams on the island bench, along the cabinets, and even in the light fixtures.
They also flow into the huge pantry, where they are used on countertops and open shelves.
