Thoughtful design and the clever use of various textures and style seamlessly meld to create a warm and functional family home that has served three generations of the same family very well.
Perched to drink in the magnificent views and surrounded by 1ha of land that provides privacy, and an abundance of parking, there is plenty of room to create the ultimate man/she cave! Originally constructed in 1968 and designed for entertaining this home was once a "show pony" for some of Hobarts best architects and builders. Host to many a dinner party and afternoon tea, including a party for Miss Tasmania, the Governor and an Astronaut that visited the moon! The home has undergone some recent updates that continue to see it live up to its previous title and make entertaining a breeze.
So much care has been taken to create individual spaces throughout the home, mood lighting has strategically been placed to accentuate the glow of the woodfires and the stunning night water vistas. While striking stained mahogany with a Japanese stain over the top and matching tiling bring a rustic touch to many of the zones.
The kitchen is the heart of any home and this one will certainly melt yours. A monochrome palette sits beautifully with the warmth of timber cabinetry and floating timber flooring, the perfect complement to the sleek stone benchtops, that are certainly showcased by a wide island bench with waterfall edges. Storage will never be an issue here, there is plenty of room for the home chef to create and friends and family to gather. Of course, when the party really gets started you can either move into the formal dining zone or outside to the expansive deck area. Wherever you choose to entertain or dine, you will be afforded the delights of the captivating view.
Follow the wide hallway to the parents' retreat. Here design shines, the ensuite is a showstopper, offering a touch of luxury and serenity at the end of a long day and the chance to sit back and relax in the bath while admiring your ever-changing view. Two additional bedrooms in this zone offer a delightful splash of individuality and beautiful rural views. That make you feel like you are a thousand miles away from the rest of the world. The master bath combines space and functionality and is conveniently located near the bedrooms.
The downstairs offers a second living space, plus an additional bedroom with the potential to become self-contained (STCA). Perfect for the resident teenager or visiting guests.
Step outside and down off the deck to the kidney shaped swimming pool, surrounded by crazy stone paving this zone is perfect for relaxing on a warm summer's afternoon. There is also access to a large games room, perfect again for hosting those summertime parties. Beautifully landscaped garden surrounds the home and sheltered spaces have been created for children to play while you enjoy your morning coffee.
Located just 20km from Hobart's CBD this home offers the ultimate in rural feel without the travel.
