Elpidos… House of Hope…
Magnificently built in 1939 and having undergone a tasteful renovation in 2022, this stunning family home is a brilliant example of a mid-century dwelling.
Northerly facing with large windows this home is soaked in all day sunshine and is light bright and very beautiful.
Let's take a walk through…
Walking up the front walkway to the side entrance you will be guided by a magnificent array of standard scented Roses that tell a beautiful story of this much-loved home.
Step into the hallway and be greeted with polished Tasmanian Oak floorboards, original wallpaper, high ornate ceilings, picture rails and a style only the 1930's can bring.
The owner has been sympathetic to the era and the gorgeous 'duck egg' blue kitchen will have you stepping back in time. Modern features like a 90cm oven with gas cooktop, stylish cabinets with sliding doors, gas hot water, a stunning curved bench and a large pantry are all gorgeous features of this beautiful home.
The lounge is open plan with the spacious dining and kitchen and there are many features reminiscent of a time gone by. The dining room has an original working open fireplace, and the home is heated and cooled with a Daikin ducted system.
Other updates this family home has undergone…
• Fully repainted exterior in a modern colour palate
• Re-wired and partly re-plumbed
• Polished floorboards throughout and new carpet in the bedrooms and tiles in the bathroom and laundry
• New plaster in the bathroom, laundry and kitchen
• New block-out drapes and sheer curtains throughout
• All original woodwork re-polished
• Reticulated watering system
The bathroom is a true masterpiece where the theme continues… a stylish deep tub, a re-furbished 'Parker' vanity just oozing with style, a separate toilet and a large and lovely shower. The tiling in this room is magnificent and with a modern touch of wallpaper this room is not only stylish but functional. The second bathroom is together with the new laundry and gives the second shower and toilet.
An office space at the back door gives those working from home a stylish room to do business and accept guests if needed.
The front sunroom soaks up the daily sunshine and the views are extensive out over the beautiful flower gardens, greater Devonport and right out to the Bass Straight.
The land, an impressive 2005m2 or just over half an acre is ripe for sub-division or strata-title. (STCA). Wandering the gardens you will find a large veggie patch, a fully enclosed berry patch, chook shed, and a gorgeous variety of old world trees and plants. The Morecott apricot tree, pear and plum trees are abundant with fruit and the gardens are peaceful and private. There is a single garage under the home, a single carport, an older shed and a storeroom attached to the house, so storage is excellent. A small undercover area at the back door is a nice spot to light the BBQ and this completes this impressive home.
This home is surrounded by other prestigious homes and just one block to 'The Fourways' shopping precinct where you will find all your shopping needs, cafés, and restaurants, plus it is just a short flat work to the K-mart complex and into the Devonport CBD.
If you love this era, you will simply adore this beautiful home, and we invite you to call the listing agents Kurt Knowles or Wendy Squibb to arrange your inspection or come along to one of our upcoming open homes.
