252 Carella Street, Howrah TAS 7018

The size of this home is apparent at first glance, a solid brick construction of approximately 299 square metres perfect for family living. Prominently situated on the top side of the road with some of the best views in Hobart extending up and down the Derwent River to the city and Mount Wellington. What is not obvious about this home is the quality and extent of improvements made to the property both indoors and out the back.

Not often seen in new homes, the first feature of this property is the grand timber front door opening to a large entry foyer, with internal access from the double automatic garage. Situated to the right as you enter is the downstairs rumpus room, with bar, that overlooks the river. The fourth bedroom or study is located behind the rumpus with separate powder room. This area is ideal for young children or as a teenagers retreat.

Upstairs the living space extends right across the front of the property in three partially segregated areas, comprising a functional kitchen / family area, dedicated dining and lounge areas. These areas have been fully remodelled to reflect the standard of a modern dwelling, including contemporary lighting, new windows and double sliding doors, tasteful colours and a superb kitchen with quality appliances. Right across the living areas are some of the most breathtaking views on the Eastern Shore, with an undercover concrete balcony that extends the full length of the front of the home.

A glass sliding door off the kitchen leads to a newly constructed and partially covered concrete deck, with outdoor speakers controlled by audio visual equipment in the kitchen. It is one of the best barbecue and entertaining areas we have seen, with northerly aspect to enjoy the sun, designed to provide an undercover play area for kids underneath or additional storage if needed. The yard has been fully landscaped with a grassed area for play, yet otherwise entirely low maintenance. There is also a garden shed for a mower and garden tools.

The upstairs bedrooms have built-ins, the main with walk-in-robe and ensuite bathroom. The laundry has been renovated with stone bench top and oversized trough. The home is predominantly heated by a ducted reverse cycle air conditioner to ensure optimum climate control throughout, whilst a full alarm system provides peace of mind when vacant.

One of the more underlying benefits of this home is the abundance of storage and workshop space. There is 3-phase power to the house and 15 amp to the garage, with a workshop/storage space built underneath the lower balcony. There is a larger dedicated workshop at the rear of the ground floor, with an expanse of storage behind. There is no doubt the home will cater to any amount of storage or home trades that are required.

This stately family home has undergone substantial and impressive improvements to achieve modern day comfort. Ultimately however you will find it almost impossible to find a property at this price that offers the same in terms of size, quality and location, with views that will never cease to amaze.
