What's around Tasman Highway

House description

“Style, dignity and opportunity”

No expense was spared on this coastal beauty when commissioned by a prominent Hobart family as their East Coast holiday retreat back in 1920. Drawing heavily on a Federation theme, the substantial 210 sqm brick and feature stucco render house ’Ruardean’ stands proudly on over half an acre of gardens and grounds within easy walking distance of Orford shopping and nearby Raspins, Millingtons and West Shelly Beaches.

Bay windows, lead light, high ceilings, polished hardwood floors, well preserved timber joinery and period style light fittings combine with unobtrusive slimline electric panel heating and a flexible floor plan to offer an unusual mix of comfortable seaside living for this welcoming, unique and gracious home.

With the cheery ambience of an open fire with ornate timber mantle in the formal dining room and a toasty wood combustion heater in the lounge, plus a new kitchen completed in 2011, ’Ruardean’ is ready to continue the tradition of relaxed entertaining and family togetherness which has been a hallmark of holidays and time out by the sea in this home for more than 90 years.

Comprising three bedrooms, formal dining, separate lounge, a sitting room, a media room plus a study alcove, ’Ruardean’ could easily convert to four or even five bedrooms if required. One main bathroom with period style claw foot bath and a separate laundry with second toilet complete the residence while outside, a large 9 x 6M Colorbond workshop on a concrete slab is a perfect boat or caravan secure park, come workshop facility.

The large ’Ruardean’ allotment rises through a gentle slope affording the residence elevated views across the Prosser River to Maria Island in the distance. The vendor has (2010) received approval from Council for the subdivision of a 1233 sqm title since lapsed, but the documentation for this including survey and engineering drawings will be made available on request.
