14 Swan Street, North Hobart TAS 7000

With beautiful Italianate features throughout serving as the hallmark of this impressive circa early 1900s townhouse, "Renfrew" is desirably located in Swan Street, just off the cosmopolitan North Hobart strip. The classic architecture of the home melds seamlessly with sensitively implemented contemporary updates, to offer a character filled home and enviable lifestyle and address.

The generously proportioned floorplan offers flexibility over three levels. A conservatory extension on the lower ground floor extends the open plan living space off the kitchen to create a warm and inviting light filled room opening onto the rear paved terrace and garden. The kitchen will delight the home chef, with a walk in pantry and quality joinery and appliances to make entertaining friends and family a breeze. A formal living room and bathroom complete the floorplan on this level.

The ground floor accommodates the private master suite comprising a bedroom with original fireplace, ensuite bathroom, walk in robe/dressing room, study and parents' retreat. A formal living or dining room adjacent to the entrance hall on this level offers a quiet and more intimate lounge area away from the open plan heart of the home.
The staircase to the first floor reveals up to three further bedrooms, one with ensuite, and a sitting room. Displaying a level of craftsmanship almost unobtainable in modern builds, original fireplaces, polished hardwood floors, coloured glass accents, picture rails, decorative plaster work and ornate William Morris wallpapers enhance the ambience of the home.

A picturesque city scape extending to views of the River Derwent is enjoyed from the upper levels of the home. The combination of gas and wood heating ensures year round comfort, and off street parking is provided at the back of the home. A wine cellar and capacious ceiling storage add amenity.

Just moments from the historic State Cinema and many cafes, restaurants, bars and shops of North Hobart, this property is also within walking distance of excellent schools, Hill Street Grocer and Hobart's CBD. A truly exceptional home, this is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a piece of Tasmania's history and buy into this tightly held, yet highly sought after locale.
