339 Davey Street, South Hobart TAS 7004

Designed by the architect for his family in 1965, the 'Courtyard House' was featured in Australian Home Beautiful magazine 1968 'Architects Name Their Best'.

'Set 150 feet back from Davey Street and approached along a picturesque oak shaded driveway, the house settles unassumingly into its surroundings. Privacy from neighbours, maximum advantage of sun and the views of Mt Wellington and nearby hills were important considerations.'

The architect's meticulous attention to detail and his view for flexible living into the future has stood the test of time. The enclosed courtyards, floor to ceiling windows, easy interior flow and sun filled living areas are many of the qualities that epitomise mid-century modernist architecture in Australia. The main gated courtyard leads to a partially concealed front door, an entry foyer, a sitting room with open brick fireplace, a spacious kitchen-living area, original cabinetry and oak panelling, inter-connected dining room and sunroom with beautiful garden and mountain views.

A naturally lit stairwell with timber staircase leads to the lower level, additional living room with access to the garden, bedrooms, bathroom, wine cellar, large workshop and an abundance of storage. From the carport there is covered access to the house, a ceramic studio, raised garden beds and poultry enclosure. Three phase power is also connected to the property.

Situated on over 1203m2 of prime north facing land providing all day sun, this well-located property is close to the city centre, walking distance to shops, services and public transport, the University of Tasmania, both private and public schools and bushland walking trails.

This beautifully crafted mid-century modern home is being offered to market for the very first time.
