Built in 1925 and cherished home to the same family for over 50 years, this magnificent four-bedroom property is brimming with character, history and style. Set on a generous parcel of land and ideally located close to the heart of sought-after Sandy Bay - this is a rare opportunity not to be missed.
From the grand entry foyer, elegance starts with the main living room. A beautiful bay window with feature leadlight and a cosy wood fire create an inviting family atmosphere, but the spacious area also lends itself to entertaining. Timber bi-fold doors open onto the formal dining room, and easy access to the covered verandah means guests can enjoy the shady, sheltered space during summer months.
There is an office with a peaceful and private outlook over the garden, dual kitchen spaces with plenty of storage, and an area for everyday dining that extends to a wonderful sunroom - perfect for relaxing. Laundry facilities and a recently renovated bathroom with separate toilet complete this level.
Take the stairs up to the second floor, where you'll find a second bathroom and four light and spacious bedrooms, one offering a dressing room, and all with glorious views that include kunanyi/Mt Wellington.
Lovingly maintained gardens fill a large portion of the 1,652sqm block - roses, gardenia, camellias and other cottage flowers, as well as potential for a prolific vegetable patch plus established fruit trees (greengage, plums, olives, and several varieties of fig, citrus and apple). There's also a workshop and storage space, a carport and plenty of off-street parking available.
The rambling grounds at the side of the house are a jungly, fragrant place with narrow paths and nooks to hang a hammock, read, or watch the birds and unwind. It's also a perfect place for kids to run wild, build a cubby house, play hide and seek, or climb and swing in the 50-year-old oak tree.
Situated just across from the lower entrance to the University of Tasmania's Sandy Bay campus, you can easily walk, bus, drive or cycle the 3km from home to central Hobart. The nearby shops, services, venues, and quality schools make life so convenient, plus Sandy Bay's recreation areas and beautiful beaches mean you can enjoy the outdoors every day.
Elegant, unique and utterly charming - this exceptional property set in a prime location is sure to impress. Warwick will be delighted to show you around, so call today to arrange a viewing time and see it for yourself.
