Privately positioned in a sought after pocket of popular West Hobart, this impressive property comprises a classic original c1920 home with character and charm throughout, complemented by a contemporary extension including an indoor pool pavilion and self-contained unit. Both have at times been run as successful commercial endeavours for additional income streams. Surrounded by verdant, established grounds and close to all amenities, this is an exceptional opportunity to purchase a substantial holding in a coveted locale.
Flexibility in the floorplan delivers a range of accommodation options to suit families of all ages and stages. The entry foyer off the sunroom into the main residence opens onto a wide hallway, with the original 1920s footprint containing the private master suite with walk in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom, three further bedrooms, a sitting room opening onto the verandah, powder room and family bathroom.
The contemporary addition beyond accommodates the spacious, well-designed kitchen with walk-in pantry and combined laundry facilities adjacent, and the generously proportioned living room with cosy wood fire. A sunroom leads onto a timber deck to offer further flexible living space and seamless indoor/outdoor access. The pool pavilion with two change rooms with bathroom facilities is via a door from the main living area.
The unit accessed from the outdoor terrace has fully self-contained living with a kitchen, spacious living and dining area, bedroom, and combined bathroom and laundry facilities. Suited to a range of uses, it is perfect for older relatives, a teenager's retreat or short stay accommodation. A third laundry, potting shed and workshop complete the floorplan.
Exquisite original features including leadlight windows, parquet floors, polished timber boards, ornate timber fretwork, picture rails, fireplaces and surrounds and high ceilings enhance the ambience of the home.
A combination of hydronic heating, wood heating and reverse cycle air conditioning ensures year round comfort, and mains gas hot water and cooking, attic storage, underfloor cellar, security cameras and a watering system add modern convenience.
Outside the home is surrounded by leafy grounds with established fruit trees. The gardens are fully fenced making them safe for children and pets to play, and gated off street parking is provided.
With Hill Street Grocer, a pharmacy, and local parks and cafes just a short stroll away, this home is also well located nearby to a number of excellent schools and the CBD. This property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a private urban retreat offering the luxury of space and privacy alongside a vibrant city fringe lifestyle and enviable address.
