18 Earl Street, Sandy Bay TAS 7005

Behind the established hedge and along the paved and pebbled pathway, the romance of this secluded and extensively renovated 1920's Californian Bungalow is alluring.

While the home has enjoyed the necessary upgrades for modern living, original features remain, such as the high ceilings, generous sized rooms, double doors and picture rails throughout.

The family living room is open and spacious with build-in shelving and cupboard space, a mantle and a cosy wood heater. Via double doors, the living room opens into the formal dining area complete with decadent above table chandelier. A separate sitting room with its own private entrance adjoins the dining room, encased by windows allowing the room to be filled with natural warmth.

The rustic country style kitchen boasts polished timber bench tops with an island bench for additional space for busy mealtimes. There is ample cupboard and pantry space and quality Bosch and Smeg appliances with stylish feature lighting.

Throughout the home, polished timber floorboards accentuate the original charm, and have been stylishly painted white within the three bedrooms. Each bedroom is sizable, with the first enjoying lovely garden views. The second bedroom has a converted fireplace and mantle and has views into a secluded courtyard area. The master suite enjoys built-in wardrobes, a fireplace and opens into what could be a fourth bedroom or spacious play area or home office overlooking the glorious garden.

The family bathroom is generously proportioned and oozes timeless style with the black and white floor tiles, a classic cast iron claw-foot bath, glass shower, toilet, vanity and a mirror large enough to accommodate the entire family on busy mornings. The laundry houses appliances under white stone bench tops with plenty of room for storage. Additional linen cupboards are located in the hallway. A second external toilet is located near the kitchen for convenience.

Outside, family paradise awaits. The home is fully fenced and encased by privacy hedges, romantic rosebushes and other blooming florals. The extensive backyard contains vegetables and fruit trees, with bicycle storage, a garden shed, play area and ample room to relax under the shady trees. The pebbled courtyard is perfect for alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining.

The residence also enjoys secure off-street parking for multiple vehicles via a remote-controlled roller door. Situated in one of Sandy Bays most sought-after streets, this secluded and secure residence is perfect for a family looking for comfortable and spacious living while being close to schools, The University of Tasmania, shops the yacht clubs and the Hobart CBD.
