Have you been searching for a charming luxury home? Then look no further than number 25 Helen Street in the beautiful town of Ranelagh, just a stones throw from Flat Rock which provides a great spot for kayaking, fishing and swimming.
The home is in need of some repairs and would benefit from a renovation to bring it back to its former glory. A modern makeover, or one in keeping with its traditional roots would transform the home dramatically.
Arriving at the property, the grand wrought iron gates lead you onto the gravel driveway up to the gorgeous, established gardens. Next to the house, an adjoining double carport offers great car storage and undercover access to the rear of the home.
Out the front, as you walk through the double doors into the foyer, you can't help but notice the grandeur of this unique home. On the left of the foyer you will see the first and only bedroom on the bottom floor. This spacious room includes a walk-through wardrobe and also accesses the main two-way bathroom, complete with a luxurious clawfoot bath. Heading right from the foyer you walk into the main living area with a wrap around window that allows light to pour into the room. The lounge also features a large fireplace to keep you cozy and warm year-round. The woodheating is complemented by electric underfloor heating on the ground floor for extra comfort. From the lounge, a grand staircase leads you to the other 3 large bedrooms, the Master including an ensuite with large corner spa bath and a walk-in-robe. The other 2 double bedrooms include large built in robes, providing plenty of storage options.
Back downstairs, the Celery Top and granite kitchen is fitted out with stainless steel appliances including gas stove and dishwasher. Just off the kitchen is the elegant, well proportioned formal dining that leads to the large backyard and outdoor living through French Doors, creating seamless indoor/outdoor living. This gorgeous home is packed with character features such as 9 foot ceilings, decorative cornice and ceiling roses, Tasmanian timber panelled walls, all complemented with large windows allowing plenty of light to flood through.
Outside, you will find a covered entertaining area coming off the formal dining, offering the perfect place to entertain family and friends this summer. The outdoor entertaining flows onto the large, grassed yard with plenty of room to have a game of backyard soccer or cricket. The mature gardens wrap around the property offering great privacy and adding to the opulent feel. There is a large workshop/shed positioned and built for the serious handyman. The shed has enough room for multiple cars, is fully powered and has its own toilet.
A couple of minutes walk will have you at a delicious local bakery and burger bar, and a short drive or bike ride will bring you to the neighbouring town of Huonville with schools, shops, doctors and restaurants. Our capital city of Hobart is just over 30 minutes drive away, and Ranelagh is along the Tassielink bus route making this an ideal location for city commuters. For further information or to arrange an inspection, please do not hesitate to call anytime.
