Located in one of the finest streets in Tasmania's premier postcode, with spectacular views of the River Derwent, Casino and Sandy Bay Yacht Club, this historic 1865 double brick home with bay window has been totally transformed for modern living.
Featuring a stunning new kitchen with Bosch appliances, two new bathrooms, new flooring, new blinds, new heat pump, new ceiling fan, new panel heaters and freshly painted throughout, there is nothing more to do other than move in and enjoy. Downstairs there is a dedicated laundry and extra storage room. Outside there is a sunny private courtyard at the rear perfect for al fresco dining or your morning coffee, plus off street parking for one car.
The house is situated on land that was originally granted to William Sorell, who later sold his estate to William Kermode. The land was subdivided by Kermode and the allotment offered for sale. Although records indicate the property was constructed in 1865, the architectural style is late Victorian and the facade comprises two gable roof sections, one clad with weatherboards, and with multi-paned windows, the other of brick construction.
From 1890-1920, the property was formerly known as, "Miss Marion Livingstone's Private School". Private venture schools as they came to be known provided an alternative and competing form of education to the public schools. Historically, they preceded the public schools in Tasmania as they had done in England and their origins lie in the charity schools, Sunday schools and dame schools of the eighteenth century.
More than just a house this fabulous property is a part of Tasmania's early colonial history.
