36 Fisher Avenue, Sandy Bay TAS 7005

Nestled amongst tranquil verdant grounds and surrounded by picturesque established gardens sprawling across an allotment of 1416 sqm, original character features seamlessly combine with sensitively implemented contemporary updates throughout this home, culminating in an exceptional property that is impressive in every way.

Held in the same family for 66 years and steeped in history, the home was originally constructed c1880, with a 1935 addition built for use as the kindergarten for Fahan School. This room now offers generously proportioned, light-filled living overlooking the leafy gardens beyond, with access to the north facing verandah to create seamless indoor/outdoor living.

The adjacent family room is a warm and inviting intimate space for living or dining, with a beautiful ornate original fireplace and timber mantel surround. Further open plan living accommodates the well-equipped stainless steel kitchen with quality European appliances, walk in pantry and dining.

Extensive glazing in the conservatory frames charming garden views, whilst connecting the original homestead to the luxuriously appointed contemporary wing. Comprising a comfortable sitting room and the private master suite with ensuite bathroom, this is an elegantly designed place of relaxed solitude to retreat from the main living area. Two further double bedrooms, one with garden patio, are serviced by the modern central bathroom with quality fixtures and fittings.

Outside the enchanting gardens reminiscent of the Cotswalds with mature trees, pretty garden beds, courtyard, paved garden fountain terrace, arbours and archway offer a secluded hideaway. Delighting at every turn, the grounds are a truly special backdrop for gatherings with family and friends, and a garden studio, fourth bedroom, provides further flexible living space suited to guest accommodation or an inspiring home office.

Within easy reach of excellent local schools, UTAS, Nutgrove recreational precinct, the cafes and restaurants of Sandy Bay Village and Hobart's CBD, this is a home conveniently close to all amenities. Fisher Avenue is undoubtedly one of Hobart's most tightly held yet highly sought after streets, making this an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial holding in this enviable locale.
