Perched high above Rose Bay with majestic views across the River Derwent, stretching up to the top of the mountain and beyond, this two-storey residence is the quintessential Eastern Shore family home.
Lovingly maintained and cared for, with a breath-taking water vista throughout both day and night, the spacious and solidly built 1950s home provides a comfortable and convenient lifestyle.
Split over two generous levels, the lower floor features an interconnecting floorplan with a large, warm, and inviting living space with a fabulous Jetmaster fireplace and convenient dedicated wood storage. Natural warmth floods the space, adding to its already comforting nature. Adjacent, a casual, light-filled sitting room leads out to the gardens.
A sunken dining room offers plenty of space for family meals, connecting to the contemporary kitchen. The culinary space boasts ample bench and cupboard space, room for a breakfast nook, and quality appliances at your fingertips, including Electrolux fridge, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and induction stovetop. Perfect for entertaining, the kitchen and dining extend to a sheltered timber deck and leads further down to a sun-soaked terrace.
Upstairs, three generous bedrooms provide quality accommodation, each containing built-in wardrobes and two with polished timber flooring. A fourth room has been configured as a home office or study and could easily become an additional bedroom if required. Located in the yard is a separate studio or hobby space, ideal for use as a guest bedroom or teenagers' retreat.
The upper level of the home is serviced by a large family bathroom with over-bath shower, vanity, and an enclosed powder room. Downstairs, you will find another bathroom with a shower and toilet. The spacious laundry on the lower level provides ample storage and room for necessary appliances.
Outside, the extensive grounds are fenced and private, and filled with blooming florals and established greenery, with rolling luscious lawns. A re-purposed swimming pool has become the setting for a glorious vegetable patch, sprouting fresh produce including potatoes, cabbages, leeks, lettuce, and broad beans.
A myriad of outdoor entertaining options presents themselves, with the enclosed deck ready for all-weather BBQs, a terrace and split-level timber decking leading down to the gardens below. A large storage shed is available for the ease of outdoor maintenance and additional wood storage, plus under-deck space. Energy efficient, the home boasts solar panels with back-to-the-grid solar power and solar hot water.
The garage/workshop provides secure housing for one vehicle, with additional off-street parking available on the property. A level ramp provides easy car-to-door access.
A hidden gem in an enviable location, this expansive property pairs a stunning, ever-changing outlook with convenience. Within walking distance to schools, shops, Eastlands, and cafes, and just minutes to Hobart's CBD, this delightful property is the ideal residence for a growing family to call home.
