Superlatives spring to mind when describing this fabulous property...just moments from North Hobart restaurant precinct and with the most stunning Derwent River views which stretch from the Eastern Shore up to the Derwent Valley.
Originally constructed in 1984 and situated on a generous, elevated 1405sqm allotment, this substantial brick residence has enjoyed a comprehensive renovation and extension designed to capture all available sunlight and of course the gorgeous views of the river and mountain. Number 1 is one of a group of five properties on a strata title quite independent of the remaining 4 villas.
The floor plan is thoughtful and versatile extending over 330sqm with independent spaces for a family with diverse interests. The house lends itself to the current hybrid workforce model of working from home with accommodation for up to 5 bedrooms.
Special mention should be made of the massive storage on offer both under the house (113 sqm), two garages and a garden shed / workshop, totalling 50sqm, which has proven to be invaluable to the owners in terms of security, accessibility and sheer size.
There is a lovely entrance through a heavy wooden gate into a walled garden and spectacular covered entertainment area with adjoining courtyard. Adorned with potted plants...a productive grapevine climbs happily with a fishpond as a centrepiece!
Opening to the interiors, there is a choice of spacious living and dining areas adjacent to a very smart contemporary kitchen which overlooks the garden and enjoys a sunny north easterly aspect.
An impressive atrium foyer with white ceramic floor tiles takes centre stage, radiates warmth and provides an abundance of natural light. A beautiful River Red Gum, steel and Celery Top Pine staircase leads to the upper level parents' retreat complete with a kitchenette, luxurious ensuite with a vanity also carved from River Red Gum and a freestanding bathtub plus adjacent dressing room.
A private terrace is just brilliant for observing early morning sunrises and activities on the river. The home office is a great space , private and quiet. Downstairs, there is an additional office, slightly removed from the living areas.
All of the bedrooms enjoy a water view and are fitted with built in wardrobes. A designated laundry, a bathroom including a bathtub and separate toilet services the bedrooms however one of the bedrooms benefits from a walk in dressing room and spa bath ensuite.
Premium quality is evident throughout, from Tasmanian Oak timber floors, pure wool commercial carpet and bespoke joinery, however 'hidden' value is not immediately apparent...from solar panels, fast NBN, strategic floor heating, wiring for electric blinds in situ, 12mm comfort plus glass and 4 Daikin reverse cycle air conditioners.
There is some interesting history associated with this property, prominent Hobart Jewellers the Sargison family once owned the property . They sourced and embellished the property with collectable historic items from important buildings around the CBD.
The sandstone wall lining the driveway retains a wonderful garden of seasonal colour. Raspberries and thornless blackberries are prolific. Bee hives and a productive kitchen garden assist in self sufficiency!
The location is first rate, on the edge of the city fringe, walking distance to a choice of cafes, the State Cinema, Hill Street Grocers and a dog park. A selection of schools are also nearby.
Number 1 has served the current owners well. A happy household with space to cater for teenage children, friends and extended family. Entertaining alfresco with multiple outdoor living areas and even a parking apron for up to 9 cars is a bonus!
Set back from the road, there is a wonderful feeling of anticipating something really special in the offering as one slowly ascends the sealed driveway. The ultimate reveal does not disappoint!
