There are beach houses and then there are homes where the beach simply becomes part of everyday life.

At 13 Lovering Avenue, open the back gate, cross the narrow coastal reserve and within moments your feet are in the sand. No packing the car. No searching for a park. No planning required. Morning swims, evening walks, launching the kayak or taking the dog along the shoreline can simply become part of the rhythm of your day. While it would be easy to imagine this as the quintessential Tasmanian beach escape, there is something important about this home that sets it apart.

For its current owners, this has never simply been a holiday house. It has been home.
Having owned the property since before its construction, they have spent many years living here permanently — a reminder that the lifestyle on offer at Verona Sands can be enjoyed every day, not just on weekends and holidays.

Built in 2011 and set across approximately 837m², the three bedroom, two bathroom home has been designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind.

Upstairs, the kitchen, dining and main living areas all share the upper level, creating an easy flow for everyday life and entertaining, with water views forming a constant backdrop. The kitchen sits naturally between the dining and living zones, so whether you are preparing dinner, pouring a glass of wine or chatting with friends, you remain connected to both the room and the outlook beyond.

From here, the living spaces open onto the expansive entertaining deck, complete with a substantial built-in barbecue and preparation area. It is easy to imagine long summer lunches here, doors open, friends moving between the house and beach, and the sound of the water just beyond the reserve.

The main bedroom is also positioned upstairs, alongside the main bathroom and its own private balcony, giving the owners a peaceful retreat away from the two downstairs bedrooms. Waking up here to the sound of waves and bird song, is truely relaxing.

Downstairs, the expansive rumpus room adds an entirely different dimension to the home. Currently set up with a bar, pool table and plenty of storage, it is the kind of space made for relaxed entertaining — somewhere to gather after a day at the beach, host a party without taking over the main living areas, or simply settle in for drinks and a game of pool with friends. For families, it also gives teenagers a brilliant space of their own, while the adjoining two bedrooms and bathroom make the entire lower level ideal for guests or extended stays. While the large laundry and internal access from the double car garage make the practical side of everyday living easy.

And when the seasons change, the home changes with them. Light the wood heater, settle into the living room and watch the weather roll across the Channel.

Part of the appeal of Verona Sands is that sense of getting away from it all without actually giving everything up. Middleton General Store is approximately 12 minutes away for everyday essentials, while around 20 minutes in the other direction brings you into Cygnet — one of the Huon Valley's most loved townships.

Cygnet has developed a personality entirely its own: a strong creative community, galleries and makers, markets and festivals, alongside an impressive collection of cafés and places to eat. For families, the wider Cygnet community also offers schooling including Cygnet Primary School and St James Catholic College, helping make this part of the Channel a genuinely practical place to call home rather than simply somewhere to escape to.

Home, holiday or something in between?
Naturally, a property this close to the beach also opens the door to other possibilities.
For some, 13 Lovering Avenue will be the permanent sea change — trading suburbia for morning walks on the sand and evenings overlooking the water.
For others, it may become the family beach house everyone wants to visit, or potentially a distinctive short-stay accommodation offering (STCA), giving visitors their own taste of life on the Channel.

But perhaps its greatest appeal is that you don't have to choose the holiday lifestyle instead of everyday life.

Here, they can be the same thing.

Because when the beach is effectively your backyard, even an ordinary Tuesday can feel a little like a holiday.
