1 Lochner Street, West Hobart TAS 7000

In the very heart of West Hobart, this double-brick, three-bedroom home on a has been tastefully renovated to create a light, stylish residence.

The neat front yard provides a welcoming entrance, silver birch softening the street front and flowering plants lining the garden path. The original front door opens into an entry foyer with character picture rails and floorboards enhanced by light contemporary colours. Three double bedrooms, each with built-in robes, branch off the central hallway, with windows looking out to the front garden. Modern drapes with gossamer curtains afford privacy whilst maintaining light into the rooms. At the end of the hall, the stylish bathroom includes a full bath and can be closed from the adjoining toilet.

Entering the living area, the tone changes as the house surrenders to an open plan layout and completely contemporary look. The dark cabinetry of the kitchen contrast with timber and white accents, while a modern bar light is suspended above the island bench. A glass splash back accentuates the feel of light and space.   

The kitchen and adjoining dining space look out to a superb view over the surrounding suburbs to the Hobart CBD and river beyond. A study nook in a sunny corner of the room provides the perfect place to work with the scenic backdrop for inspiration.

From the dining space, sliding panels open the entire wall to expand the open living floorplan to the loungeroom. Here, a wood heater creates a cosy warmth that easily heats the kitchen and living area. French doors lead to a generous deck from which the full city vista can be appreciated, with plenty of room for outdoor dining. Stairs lead down to a level lawn bordered by a stone-edged landscaped garden and raised beds. A store room and laundry on the lower floor is conveniently located near the washing line. A secure garage provides off-street parking, with a further store room at the rear.

The location of this inner-city home guarantees a convenient lifestyle. The North Hobart restaurant and café strip is less than a kilometer away, while the Hobart CBD is only slightly further. The West Hobart shops, cafes, parks and bushwalks are all within easy walking distance.
