From its charming Victorian façade to the wonderfully renovated interior and lush rear gardens, this superb property in the best location, has an appealing mix of historic beauty and modern allure. Such care and consideration has been given to retaining the inherent character and charm paying homage to the past, but bringing it more into harmony with its surrounds and todays lifestyle requirements. Embellished with a collection of historic features which have been meticulously and thoughtfully restored to ensure the heritage aspect is retained so the original features and modern-day inclusions can coexist and create visual accord.
Careful colour selection, of whites, greys and blues has created a relaxed atmosphere, with handmade Italian tiles, original timber floors, exposed brick, ceiling roses and open fireplaces all adding to the appeal of this wonderfully warm and welcoming home. The practical and functional kitchen with French doors opening to the private rear garden, provides an idyllic gathering place for friends and family extending to the decked entertainment area. The bathroom with double shower and vanity, add a pop of colour with a contemporary element and a concealed laundry is strategically placed for ultimate convenience.
The central hallway provides easy access to two double bedrooms, both with built in robes as well as the formal living and dining room with skylight. An original staircase as well as a lift, lead to the upstairs bedroom and study nook with a utility room incorporating an additional toilet adjacent. A dormer window provides views to the city and mountain. The generous attic allows for copious storage as well as the potential to increase the existing footprint of the home.
The ultimate surprise is the studio at the rear of the property, currently used as another sitting area and art room. The studio may also be appropriate for accommodation, with a conversion to self-contained (STCA), perhaps a home office or even a significant play room for the kiddies.
A converted 'outhouse' is now a storage shed for garden implements and a new addition of another shed is perfect for the keen gardener as a potting shed or alternatively as a cubby house. With the inclusion of raised vegetable gardens, a chicken coop, a fully enclosed cat run and a very unique dog kennel, this amazing property really does provide something for everyone.
The garden is made up of unique zones, from the alfresco potted area, to the shaded Fern and Clivia space, with vegetable and herb garden at the rear. Mixed planting of fruit trees, roses, and succulents blend with the cat run to embrace a connection to the garden full of surprises.
One of the most intrinsic features is the addition of the lift and ramps to futureproof the property making it wheelchair friendly. Under the house is a substantial cellar and store room, very dry, clean and secure and there is off street parking for two vehicles at the front of the house. Views extend over the city and suburbs to majestic Mt Wellington and water views to the Hobart docks from the enclosed veranda.
Floor heating, excellent insulation, online gas, heat pump and panel heaters on low tariff rates and quality fixtures and fittings throughout add to the appeal of this beautiful Victorian home only minutes from the Docks, cultural centre of Hobart, Salamanca and the CBD with sporting facilities, recreation areas and local supermarket close by.
