Located in quiet and sought-after heritage area of West Hobart, close to the CBD and local amenities - this outstanding three-bedroom property with a charming cottage feel has been transformed into a spacious and inviting family home.
Built circa 1900 and known as 'St Benin', an extension and comprehensive renovations were added to the original dwelling in 2007. The extensive upgrades included all new services, electrics, plumbing, sewer line, new roof and guttering, storm water and water supply, NBN and new windows with Pilkington laminated glass which provides energy efficiency, solar control, and noise reduction (The front windows have not been replaced).
The result is an impressive and functional open plan layout - the cosy lounge featuring a beautiful vintage Nectre wood heater, flowing seamlessly into the generous dining area and light-filled kitchen - with ample storage, a lovely outlook over the garden, and views of the River Derwent and hills beyond. Temperature is maintained throughout the whole space with reverse cycle air conditioning.
Sunlight streams into the rear of the house in the morning and from the side veranda in the afternoon, sliding doors open onto a wide roofed Modwood deck - a sheltered spot perfect for entertaining with friends, dining outdoors, or to admire the private and easily maintained grounds at any time of year.
The home offers three sizeable bedrooms, two with built-in combination wardrobes. The upstairs bedroom enjoys a sunny, elevated aspect with fantastic views, and makes an ideal second living area if preferred. There's a well-appointed bathroom with all facilities, plus an extra toilet off the laundry which has generous storage.
Situated on a manageable, flat block, the property includes secure off-street parking for two cars, a garden shed, and a workshop. The rear yard contains an expansive 'gardener's garden', with established raised beds full of produce, a green house, a variety of fruiting plants (such as greengages, raspberries, and loganberries), and colourful blooms through every season.
This safe and community-minded neighbourhood has cafés, shops, health care, a pharmacy, post office, pub, bus service, and the original Hill St Grocer just around the corner. North Hobart's renowned retail and entertainment precinct is close by, and walking or cycling to work is a natural choice as central Hobart is a mere 2km away. An oval and small playground are directly opposite, and Lansdowne Crescent Primary School is quick 200m walk away, making this a wonderful position for young families.
