With dual street access, the property is as practical as it is picturesque. Secure off-street parking makes daily life effortless, while the generous block provides exciting potential for an extension, studio or ancillary dwelling (STCA). The home's position on the land parcel allows for privacy coupled with a lovely sense of elevation, capturing light and leafy outlooks in every direction.
Upon entry, you are immediately welcomed by the warmth and authenticity of another era. Soaring ceilings, gorgeous wide original floorboards, decorative timber architraves and sash windows all speak to the home's early 20th-century craftsmanship. The careful preservation of these features, paired with subtle modern enhancements, creates a seamless fusion of history and comfort — the kind of home that feels both nostalgic and effortlessly liveable.
The north-facing living spaces are filled with light throughout the day thanks to glass doors and large picture windows, creating a gorgeous, garden filled view year-round. A cosy wood heater anchors the living room, offering a comforting glow through the cooler months, and ensures the home remains warm and welcoming. The open layout means the living, dining and kitchen flow seamlessly, providing a lovely space for relaxed family living and easy entertaining.
The kitchen is a standout feature - both functional and full of charm. Crafted with solid Tasmanian Oak joinery, it reflects the enduring quality of local materials and workmanship. A walk-in pantry adds generous storage and practicality, while the thoughtful design ensures cooking and entertaining are an absolute pleasure. Whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, this heart-of-the-home space radiates warmth and authenticity.
The three bedrooms each retain their own sense of character and serenity, with tall ceilings, original details including beautiful sash windows and leafy garden views. Each room is generously sized - two with their own built in wardrobes, providing flexible options for family living, a home office or guest accommodation. The beautifully renovated and spacious bathroom adds a touch of luxury, featuring a freestanding bath, walk-in rain shower, and refined contemporary finishes that complement the home's period aesthetic - and includes a private view to the leafy backyard. Every detail has been carefully considered to ensure both elegance and comfort in this very special property.
Practical updates add to the home's appeal and longevity, including a new roof, quality insulation and upgraded wiring, providing peace of mind for years to come and ensuring the property is ready for you to just move straight in.
Outside, the property unfolds into a truly magical garden sanctuary. Lush established plantings, including towering gums, kitchen garden beds and flowering shrubs, all framing the home and creating natural privacy. There are multiple zones to enjoy - sunny decks and paved areas for entertaining, shady corners perfect for quiet reflection, and ample space for vegetable gardens, fruit trees or children's play, even a lovely verandah at the front of the home. The garden feels like an extension of the home, inviting you to connect with nature while remaining just minutes from the vibrant heart of Hobart.
This is a property that captures the very essence of West Hobart living - leafy, private, walkable, and full of charm and character.
