163 Waterworks Road, Dynnyrne TAS 7005

This unique home is situated in the quiet and leafy Waterworks valley, less than 5km from the centre of Hobart.

The house is well insulated, and its extensive double glazed windows receive plenty of sun all year round, making for a warm and light filled abode. Sitting well above the street level, the house feels surprisingly private, while enjoying an open outlook of the beautiful forested valley and ever changing mountain.

Constructed in 2010, the house was designed and built with sustainability as a priority. It features a variety of ethically sourced Tasmanian timbers including celery top pine cladding/decking/posts, eucalypt frame/flooring, and silver wattle ceiling lining. Solar power and solar hot water provide much of the energy requirements.

The open plan kitchen/living area faces on to a large deck. The kitchen features celery top pine benches, gas cook-top and quality soft-close cabinetry. The two double bedrooms have built-in adjustable robes with ample drawers, shelves and hanging space. The main bedroom also opens on to the deck.

The house contains abundant storage, with large built in cupboards and shelves throughout, and an additional lockable storage area under the house.

A fire bath with a view of the mountain is nestled into the backyard. The front yard hosts a vegetable patch, fenced in to keep the prolific local wallaby population mowing your lawn instead of your produce.

Just a few hundred metres to Waterworks Reserve. Close to walking and mountain bike tracks, the university, and only a 10 minute bike ride into the city.
