9 Third Avenue, New Norfolk TAS 7140

One of New Norfolk's special historic residences, nestled on over 1,900sqm of land, is searching for a family to call this their new home. With its timeless appeal and innate warmth, this beautiful Circa 1890's house is so much more than just a home! Lovingly renovated to retain many of the unique, character features of its era in collaboration with the everyday practicalities of the modern world we live in, you could just move in and enjoy the ambiance and the convenience of this location. Spacious and naturally light throughout, this home wraps itself around you and offers a floorplan that is both versatile and functional. Private landscaped gardens surround both the home and the separate studio, set behind the main residence, and perfect for an artist/musician or as a home office.

A private sun-drenched deck is an alternative to the front verandah, which is the more formal entrance to inside, where you are greeted with beautiful polished Baltic pine floorboards. A myriad of original features from the ornate cornices to the fireplace and mantle in the lounge, flow throughout the home. The modernised kitchen provides ample space for multiple "cooks" to be working in the kitchen with a breakfast bar for the family to gather at for after-school discussions and snacks. All the rooms are spacious and naturally well lit. Wood and electric heating maintains a comfortable temperature year round. A gorgeous library off the entrance could double as a study, and has a skylight for extra lighting. Rewired and replumbed, insulation in the ceiling and some double glazed windows are many "hidden" extras that add to both the appeal and warmth to this family home. Four of the bedrooms are on the ground floor with the large main bedroom incorporating it's own ensuite (laundry combined). An additional bedroom (come 5th bedroom) upstairs and an attic room opposite could be used for storage, or a play room for children who love the idea of having their own little attic "cubby house" upstairs! From the kitchen, rear deck and main bedroom, the ever-changing sunsets behind the surrounding hilltops are a view to behold on any given evening! For the gardener and home handyperson, the separate garage with adjoining workshop is a great size for tinkering in and storing tools and gardening machinery.

Whether you enjoy a game of tennis or love having a kick of football or soccer, these sporting facilities are virtually on your doorstep, affording you more time and maximum convenience. If you are into the arts and bushwalking, Mt Field National Park is within an easy commute and the Derwent Valley Arts is a thriving community group based in New Norfolk (on the tourist route). Local primary schools are within walking distance and the yard is the perfect haven to collect your own fruit from the existing orchard and run your own chooks. A relaxing 30 minute drive to Hobart, an easy walk to the local corner store and across the River from the thriving township of New Norfolk and the riverfront walking tracks, you won't find a property with a more country feel within suburbia than this historic beauty.

If you are looking for a character home with space, beautifully renovated and with a sense of community, look no further…and call me today for your own private viewing!
