The sandstone and brick street frontage of this handsome Federation home hints at the ornamental charm to be found within the substantial property. Constructed in 1902, the 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home is set over 3 levels with commanding views over the city, and river views from the top floor.
The covered veranda and leadlight work at the front entry provide a suitably grand presentation, opening into a reception area with high ceilings and distinguished woodwork features.
A large living room leads off to the right of the entry, its original tiled fireplace, high ceilings and tall windows making it an impressive room in which to entertain. Across the hall the first double bedroom also features an original fireplace, with built-in robes and an outlook onto Barrack Street.
The main living area also looks out to the street, with a grand bay window a commanding focus in the room. A neat, modern kitchen with European appliances has a striking black and silver colour palette, contrasting with the texture of huon pine cupboards. Clever lighting over the benches is attractive and functional, while a skylight brings natural light into the casual dining and cosy lounge area.
Making up the rest of the first floor is a central bathroom and a second double bedroom which leads onto a study, verandah and sunroom-cum-laundry that all extend along the back of the house, taking in all-day sun and views over the city.
Upstairs, the charming attic rooms provide a sanctuary away from the main living areas, comprising a delightful master bedroom with built-in robes and separate bathroom as well as a private, roomy balcony with an impressive view over the CBD to the River Derwent and beyond.
From the first floor, a cedar staircase leads down past a stately stained glass window to the ground floor, which offers a complete separate living quarter, including kitchenette, living room, bedroom with walk-in-robe, bathroom, study and plenty of storage. With its own entry from the backyard, this could be a teenager’s retreat or guest accommodation.
The large, low-maintenance backyard includes a garage, separate laundry, store room and further secure storage areas accessed from the driveway.
Situated within an easy walk to the city, local cafes, restaurants and schools, this beautiful home provides a lifestyle of comfort and convenience in the Hobart CBD.
