20 Douglas Street, New Town TAS 7008

This gorgeous character home set on a large land parcel with absolutely beautiful yard and gardens is a wonderful family haven. Circa 1900 with ample accommodation and multiple living areas just minutes from the Hobart CBD.

A framed driveway entrance leads up through the stunning front yard to a single carport beside the house. There is a covered front entry with leadlight doorway which opens to the main hallway with access through to the main living hub, comprising a large lounge room and open kitchen and informal dining area. The authentic timber kitchen is well appointed with gas stove, range hood and a dishwasher on timeless slate floors with feature leadlight window. The meals area is a lovely space with gas fire and stone surround.

The home also boasts a plush formal dining room with original fireplace and mantelpiece, a central chandelier with beautifully crafted ceiling rose and decorative cornice. A truly regal dinner venue. There is also a separate family room for the kids or when some privacy is required.

The home offers ample accommodation, with two bedrooms upstairs including the main bedroom with modern ensuite bathroom and WIR, and a further two bedrooms on the lower level, all very well sized. The family bathroom has lovely natural light with bath and shower over. There is a large separate laundry with enclosed toilet as well as a dedicated upstairs storage room.

For outdoor entertaining there is a large deck area above the carport with expansive views from Mt Wellington to the Derwent capturing all day sun. Adjoining the carport is a workshop and store and there is additional parking for cars, a boat or trailer. The home is conveniently located within walking distance to local schools, shops and services including New Town Plaza, The Friends' School and Calvary Hospital, and is a very short commute to the city centre.

Being the first time on the market in 30 years this is truly a very rare opportunity to purchase one of the most remarkable properties in the area, and fly your own flag!
