7 Greenlands Avenue, Sandy Bay TAS 7005

Desirably located in 'old Sandy Bay' and displaying immense street appeal, this solidly constructed double brick residence 'Rosbrae' circa 1935 has been tastefully renovated to combine classic original features with sensitively implemented contemporary updates. Offered to market for the first time, it presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a delightful home in a sought after locale.

Light-filled, warm and inviting, the floorplan is conveniently set across one level. A series of spacious rooms are adjacent to the wide entry hall typical of the era, with living at the rear. The dining and living rooms are generously proportioned with fireplaces, and the kitchen has granite bench tops, quality bespoke joinery and room for casual dining.

The master suite with ensuite bathroom has a large bay window flooding the room with natural light. A second double bedroom and third bedroom/study are serviced by the family bathroom. With an interesting mix of Victorian, Federation and Arts and Crafts influences throughout, original lead lighting, timber work, pressed metal ceilings, Tasmanian oak floorboards and working fireplaces showcase the unrivalled craftsmanship of a bygone era. An ornate timber archway in the hall with original “Fortune” lamp is a particularly desirable feature remaining in situ.

Finished to a high standard with quality fixtures and fittings, hydronic heating and floor heating in both bathrooms ensures year round comfort. The recent renovation included upgrades to the plumbing and wiring and re-pointing of the external brickwork. Outside the home is surrounded by established gardens, and the property is fenced making it safe for children and pets. The workshop and garage contains a unique turntable installed in 1935 at the request of the original owner who liked to drive but refused to reverse!

Positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac yet still within easy walking distance of excellent schools, UTAS, sailing clubs, local parks and reserves and the amenities of both Sandy Bay Village, Hobart's waterfront and the CBD, the home is also close to public transport. This exceptional property seeks its next custodians to preserve and maintain the character and history of a much loved family home.
