Tucked quietly at the end of an elevated cul-de-sac, surrounded by native eucalyptus and alive with birds and wildlife, this warm and character-filled home offers something increasingly rare: a genuine sense of stillness, just minutes from the heart of Hobart.
Set on 822m², the home feels wonderfully immersed in nature. From almost every window, the bush becomes part of the view, creating the feeling of being outside even when you're tucked away indoors. Beyond the garden, unobstructed views stretch across the River Derwent towards Bruny Island, with ever-changing Tasmanian light and colour providing a spectacular backdrop each day.
And yet, this peaceful setting is remarkably connected. Howrah Beach, schools, cafés, shops, community facilities and sporting grounds are all within easy reach, while Hobart is around 10 minutes away and the airport around 15 minutes.
Inside, the home has a warm, timeless character, with thoughtful touches that complement the comforts of modern living. High ceilings and exposed beams add to the sense of space and light, while the wood heater creates a warm and inviting heart to the home - perfect for gathering and entertaining as the seasons change.
There are four generous bedrooms, with three retaining their original hardwood built-in wardrobes, while the newly renovated bathroom brings a beautiful contemporary touch with elegant fittings, an antique pedestal basin and a deep cast-iron bath.
The original Blackwood kitchen retains its timeless 1980s character, complemented by contemporary appliances and an induction cooktop.
Downstairs, a versatile additional space currently functions as a large guest bedroom with its own WC and washroom. It could just as easily become a teenager's retreat, home office, library, studio or second living area, with potential to add a second bathroom.
Outside, the private, fully fenced garden has been intentionally designed with low-maintenance native planting and natural rockery, creating a peaceful extension of the surrounding bushland. Beyond the fence lies Bandicoot Bush Reserve, where wallabies, bandicoots and abundant birdlife are regular visitors.
A spacious lawn and two decked areas provide plenty of space to relax, entertain and take in the surrounding landscape, from the expansive lower deck to the elevated outlook of the upper balcony.
The home has been cherished by just two families since it was built in 1989, and there's a sense of warmth and history throughout. It is a home-made for slowing down, watching the light change across the river, listening to the birdlife and enjoying the rare feeling of being completely removed from the city while remaining so close to it.
