Nestled within the picturesque Drip Village of Lutana, this Art Deco residence stands as a testament to Tasmanian Post-War architecture. Constructed from concrete, this home is built to endure, boasting spacious rooms and a tidy garden that invite you to experience a blend of history and comfort.
Stepping through period double doors, you're welcomed into a gracious hallway adorned with original Art Deco door frames influenced by early 20th-century Egyptology. High ceilings and curved walls enhance the sense of space, complemented by large windows that frame captivating views of both the River Derwent and Kunanyi.
The living room exudes tranquility, filled with afternoon light and the soothing sounds of abundant birdlife. In summer, gentle breezes flow through from north to south, while in winter, two fireplaces act as wonderful heat banks, providing cozy warmth.
A generous dining area flows from the living room, capturing morning sunshine, and perfect for enjoying meals with water views. The kitchen, designed by Phill Mason, is a culinary delight featuring a breakfast bar and ample storage. Modern appointments include a dish drawer, combined gas and electric cooktop, and a spacious butler's pantry that doubles as a laundry.
Privately positioned away from the main living spaces, three generous bedrooms showcase beautiful original timber flooring and are serviced by a tidy family bathroom featuring a shower over bath and complemented by a convenient second WC at the rear of the home.
Outside, the low-maintenance garden is a haven for gardeners. Recently re-turfed, the garden is currently a blank canvas, with a lemon tree, flowering cherry, and magnolia providing some wonderful inspiration. Imported soil and compost enhance the potential for a flourishing vegetable, flower, or fruit tree garden, while a hedge provides shade and privacy for outdoor gatherings. The blue gum in the front corner is a stopover for birds, especially black cockatoos and swift parrots.
Freshly painted throughout and with additional features including a potting shed, lockup garage, and dual access offering plenty of off-street parking, this fabulous property is ideal for those with campervans, trailers or boats.
Situated close to New Town Plaza and within easy reach of North Hobart, Moonah, Glenorchy, and Hobart CBD, this home enjoys a central location amidst a friendly neighbourhood with a strong community feel.
