18 Summerhill Road, West Hobart TAS 7000

Positioned in a sought-after pocket of West Hobart, this beautiful circa 1904 Federation home retains many classic original features of the era, seamlessly combined with contemporary updates. A flexible floorplan, picturesque gardens on a generous allotment of 888sqm and convenient central location combine to offer the vibrant urban lifestyle West Hobart is renowned for.

Set across two floors, the entry level is largely dedicated to living with a well-appointed kitchen, spacious living room and formal dining room (or fourth bedroom if required), set off the wide entry hallway. A modern bathroom with free standing tub, large walk-in shower and expansive views all the way to the River Derwent is at the rear of the home. A generously sized bedroom with built in robes is also on this level.

The staircase to the lower ground floor reveals two further bedrooms, a second bathroom with combined laundry facilities, separate WC and spacious storage rooms. Leadlight accents, hardwood floors, open fireplaces, picture rails, ornate fretwork and an appealing façade showcase a level of craftsmanship almost unobtainable in today's builds. A combination of electric and wood heating ensures year-round comfort.

An entry courtyard leading to the front verandah and French doors on the lower level opening onto a timber deck give ample space to relax and entertain friends and family alfresco amongst the established gardens which once formed part of the Governor's allotment, with a mature walnut tree from that time continuing to provide shade over the yard.

Within easy reach of the nature trails of Knocklofty Reserve, excellent schools, Hill Street Grocer and other local shops, parks, playgrounds and the cosmopolitan North Hobart Strip just a short stroll away, this property presents an outstanding opportunity for purchasers seeking to buy into this coveted locale.
