"St. Leon's" was built with a vision for a country retreat with federation influences, a five acre haven with a classic and charming 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with views of Frederick Henry Bay and the surrounding rural landscape.

Upon approach to the property you are greeted by wrought iron gates and a driveway that leads you through the colorful garden to the double garage and additional off street parking. A sweeping path at the front takes you up the steps onto the wrap around veranda to the timber and leadlight front door. Once inside you are immediately drawn in by the high ceilings, ornate cornices and Tasmanian Oak flooring along with the grandeur of a separate formal dining room and separate formal lounge room with Jetmaster wood heater surrounded by a beautiful dark timber fireplace. French doors off both formal rooms open onto the veranda, allowing you to take in the view and is the perfect place to sit and relax with a good book whilst listening to the peaceful and tranquil sound of the vast bird life.

The kitchen is everything you would expect with quality granite benchtops, soft close draws and a large walk-in pantry and is adjoined to the open plan dining and family room with French doors that lead you to the side north facing veranda. Brass light switches, ducted heating and cooling and a built-in Bose sound system give you an idea of the quality of the home.

All three bedrooms run off the central hallway with the master overlooking the front garden through to Frederick Henry Bay. A walk through robe connects you to the en-suite with shower, vanity and toilet. The master bathroom comprises a shower over spa bath, vanity and toilet and the large laundry/utility room at the back door is much more than your average laundry with large built-in cupboards providing plenty of storage.

The double garage is no ordinary garage with underfloor heating, 3 phase power, a shower and toilet at the rear perfect for cleaning up after a long day in the garden or could be converted into a teenagers retreat or accommodation for visiting guests (STCA).

A verdant garden kept lush by an automatic watering system surrounds the home and is filled with an array of natives as well as cherry blossoms, flowing gums and golden elms. The orchid is filled with apple trees, pear trees, plums, quinces, lemons, limes, passionfruit and kiwi fruit and a vast variety of vegetables which are all well enclosed. A wonderful lifestyle only 20 minutes from Hobart's CBD.
