Perfectly positioned in one of New Town's most walkable and convenient pockets, 12 Roope Street offers the rare combination of preserved Federation charm, modern comfort and sweeping rear views — all within easy reach of the Hobart CBD.
Behind its welcoming façade and traditional porch, the home proudly showcases its Federation heritage. Beautiful period detailing has been carefully preserved, including decorative fireplaces in two of the bedrooms, adding warmth, character and an elegant focal point to these inviting spaces. The main residence offers three generous bedrooms, each complete with built-in robes, ensuring practical everyday living while maintaining the home's timeless appeal. A sunroom off the main bedroom provides flexibility and a quiet retreat. A separate studio accommodates the fourth bedroom, offering excellent versatility for guests, a teenager's retreat or a private workspace.
The true heart of the home is the expansive open-plan living and dining area. Generous in scale and filled with natural light, this impressive space feels immediately welcoming and airy. Large windows draw in sunlight throughout the day, enhancing the sense of openness, while the seamless connection to the kitchen creates a highly functional layout for both family living and entertaining. From the dining area, beautiful views of kunanyi /Mount Wellington create a stunning natural backdrop, further elevating the space. Ducted heating throughout the home provides year-round comfort. The living room opens onto the timber deck, perfectly positioned to capture the home's excellent rear aspect and outlook, including views of kunanyi /Mount Wellington — an ideal setting for long lunches, evening gatherings or relaxed mornings in the sun.
The bathroom is well-positioned, and the laundry is thoughtfully designed, offering excellent functionality, with generous cabinetry further enhancing practicality, ensuring everyday living remains streamlined and organised.
Outdoors, the property continues to impress with a neat, well-maintained garden that reflects the overall care and pride taken throughout the home. The yard is tidy and established, offering a pleasant balance of usable space and easy upkeep. A separate studio provides a fourth bedroom and workshop add exciting versatility as a creative workspace or teenage retreat.
The gated driveway provides secure off-street parking for up to three vehicles — a valuable advantage in this tightly held, city-fringe location. Further enhancing the appeal is the home's all-electric design, contributing to minimal electricity bills and efficient day-to-day living.
Within a short stroll of cafés, shops, parks and highly regarded schools, with frequent bus services and an easy walk to the CBD, this is a property that beautifully balances character, comfort and convenience.
