On the market for the first time since 1970, this original 1964 solid-built home has been meticulously and lovingly cared for by its third owners. Set on a generous 954m² allotment and surrounded by a splendid established garden, the property offers exceptional space, privacy, and some of Hobart's most breathtaking views.
Elevated and set well back from the road, the home is framed by a mature Golden Elm and Maple tree, with colourful under plantings that create a vibrant and welcoming first impression. The original owner is believed to have invested considerable thought and craftsmanship into designing a home that was both solid and sound insulated as well as thermally efficient.
Constructed of double brick, solid brick internal walls, and featuring a concrete slab that separates the main living level from the double garage, workshop, office and abundant storage areas below, the property maintains a naturally comfortable temperature year-round while also offering superb sound insulation between floors.
As you ascend the front steps, the captivating views Mount Stuart is renowned for immediately unfold. Stepping inside, the pristine original features are a true delight. An original light fitting and beautifully detailed cornice greet you at the entrance, setting the tone for the remarkable mid-century character that flows throughout.
To the left of the hallway, the large lounge and dining room forms the heart of the home. Its impressive timber mantel and Jet master wood heater have clearly been central to many cherished family moments. The living space is bathed in natural light from two expansive picture windows that frame sweeping outlooks over the garden and beyond. A recently installed heat pump is an additional bonus to this zone and provides instant heating and cooling when required.
The living area flows seamlessly to the eat-in kitchen, where the well-preserved original cabinetry showcases thoughtful 1960s design. A generous walk-in pantry offers excellent storage, and the original stove remains in working condition. From here, enjoy a lush garden outlook and easy access to the outdoor entertaining area.
Adjacent to the kitchen are a spacious laundry and mudroom, offering convenience and functionality for modern living.
To the right of the hallway are three bedrooms. The master bedroom provides built-in robes, plentiful space, and an elevated outlook. The second bedroom mirrors the master in proportion and appeal, while the third single bedroom is ideally positioned near the bathroom. Storage is in abundance throughout the home, with built-in cupboards lining the hallway.
A rare feature for homes of this era is the dedicated shower room, positioned next to the main bathroom, which includes a bath, toilet, and hand basin. A second toilet, conveniently located near the laundry, is ideal for guests.
Outside, the rear garden is a true sanctuary. An enchanting blend of cottage plantings and abundant fruit trees. A mature walnut tree casts welcome shade over the outdoor entertaining area, while a decorative breeze-block wall provides privacy. Hidden throughout the garden are charming discoveries at every turn: peony roses, a variety of bulbs, raspberry canes, loganberries, and a generous Mulberry, Fig, Nashy pear, Lemon, and Fuji apple tree. The unmistakable perfume of old-world roses completes this tranquil and beautifully established space.
At the rear of the property, a large rumpus room/studio provides valuable flexibility, perfect for guests, creative pursuits, or a home office. A small garden shed adds further practicality.
Beneath the home, a large two-car garage sits alongside a separate office space complete with the original intercom system, plus substantial storage and a dedicated workshop.
This is a rare opportunity to step back into a time when homes were built to last, and life moved at a gentler pace. It offers the chance to honour its history while making it your own, all within one of Hobart's most tightly held and sought-after suburbs.
Mount Stuart combines the best of both worlds: tranquil, leafy living with unbeatable convenience. Just moments from the CBD and a short walk to the vibrant North Hobart precinct, the suburb offers effortless access to cafés, restaurants, parks, and excellent schools. Yet despite its central location, Mount Stuart retains a peaceful, semi-rural charm.
Tree-lined streets, elevated vistas, abundant birdlife, and strong community spirit are hallmarks of the area. Residents value its serenity, and it is little wonder Mount Stuart has become a forever-place for so many Hobart families.
