Blending timeless character with contemporary comfort, this charming Rosetta residence presents a beautifully renovated home where distinctive design, inviting interiors, established gardens and elevated Derwent River views come together to create a property full of appeal.
Originally built in 1953, the home has been thoughtfully renovated throughout, retaining the warmth and enduring appeal of its classic red brick façade while embracing a fresh, design-led aesthetic inside. From the picturesque gardens and welcoming entrance to the carefully selected interior finishes, the property makes a wonderful first impression, offering a considered balance of traditional character and modern individuality.
Inside, the home showcases a confident approach to contemporary design, with a thoughtful combination of colour, texture and natural materials. Rather than relying on an entirely neutral palette, the renovations introduce personality through distinctive finishes and carefully chosen details, creating interiors that feel both welcoming and refined. Warm timber tones, crisp white surfaces and striking colour accents work together to deliver a cohesive aesthetic, complemented by subtle vintage-inspired touches that add further character.
The well-considered floorplan offers three bedrooms, a central bathroom and multiple spaces to relax and entertain. The living room provides a comfortable retreat, with generous proportions creating an inviting place to unwind at the end of the day. Meanwhile, the adjoining kitchen and dining area form the practical heart of the home, offering a natural gathering point for everyday meals and time spent with family and friends.
Extending the living experience outdoors, the deck provides a lovely setting to enjoy a morning coffee, entertain guests or simply take in the elevated outlook across the Derwent River. The surrounding greenery creates a pleasant sense of privacy, while the established gardens offer a beautiful extension of the home's inviting atmosphere.
Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across the upper level, with three well-proportioned bedrooms offering flexibility for couples, families, guests or those requiring a dedicated home office.
The central bathroom makes a statement of its own, showcasing deep teal subway tiling paired with crisp white finishes, warm timber cabinetry and elegant brass tapware. A decorative vessel basin introduces an artistic touch, while the bath and separate shower combine everyday practicality with a more indulgent feel. The result is a beautifully considered space that reflects the home's contemporary eclectic style and a confident use of colour.
Set across a generous 837m2 (approx.) allotment, the gardens are a standout feature in their own right, with manicured hedging, lush greenery and colourful plantings framing the residence beautifully. A charming pathway leads to the front entrance, enhancing the property's street appeal, while the established landscaping complements the classic brick exterior and provides a wonderful contrast to the home's refreshed interiors.
Practicality is further enhanced by a single garage, additional storage and useful under-house storage areas, providing valuable space for tools, gardening equipment and seasonal belongings.
Positioned in the established suburb of Rosetta, the property enjoys convenient access to local schools, public transport and everyday amenities. Glenorchy's shopping precinct and Northgate Shopping Centre are just a short drive away, while the iconic Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) offers a popular nearby destination. Hobart CBD is approximately 15 minutes commute away.
