At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Hobart’s newest suburbs, 36 Cologne Drive is a spacious and light family home.
A two-storey house on a gently sloping block, the home’s elevated position provides panoramic views as well as a level backyard and outdoor entertaining area.
Level access from the road leads to a huge driveway, with secure two-car garage and ample space for guest parking, or storage for a boat or caravan. A short flight of stairs leads to a north-facing sundeck and the main entry.
Coming in from the front door, the views of blue sky and surrounding countryside accentuate the feeling of light and space in the open plan living. The soft palette, white ceilings and warm floorboards create a comfortable and relaxed space.
A bay-style window defines the living area on the north side of the room, while the dining area opens onto the wraparound verandah with sweeping views from the river, to Mount Wellington and beyond. The generous kitchen, extending along the south side of the house, has an abundance of bench space and storage, and a breakfast bar that overlooks the dining area. The mix of white paneled and glass-fronted cabinetry gives an attractive and homely feel, which together with a picture window over the double sink, creates a space that is a pleasure to be in.
Down the hallway, the master bedroom is furnished with expansive built-in wardrobes, and direct access to the main bathroom through a sliding door. Also on the first floor are a further two bedrooms, separate toilet and laundry.
Self-contained accommodation on the ground floor presents a number of opportunities, from extra space for teenagers or older children, to private accommodation for family or guests. Comprising a large rumpus room with corner bench and sink, bedroom, combined bathroom / laundry and separate access, this space is an asset to a large family home.
In the fully-fenced backyard, a tiered sun-drenched lawn provides plenty of space to play, along with a sheltered outdoor entertaining area at the side of the house.
Popular Oakdowns is just minutes’ drive from beaches, shops, cafes and schools.
