Overview

‘Taroona House’ - An exceptional heritage residence

Dating from the late 19th century and heritage listed, 'Taroona House' is one of the earliest substantial homes in the area, with a history closely connected to Taroona's rural beginnings. Established when the surrounding landscape was characterised by farms, orchards, gardens and grazing land, the home has remained through the evolution of Taroona into the established residential community it is today. Later occupied by the Walch family, the house was a much-loved setting for family life, entertaining and gatherings. Almost 130 years on, it has been completely upgraded throughout, with quality fixtures and fittings and contemporary comforts carefully introduced while retaining its stunning original character. A grand central hallway provides an impressive introduction to the home, with high ceilings, ornate ceiling roses, mantlepieces, stained-glass windows and polished timber floors reflecting its heritage. The generous floorplan flows through a series of well-proportioned living spaces, including a spacious sitting room, formal dining room, separate living room and beautifully renovated kitchen with quality appliances, adjoining meals area and pantry. Accommodation is equally substantial, with four bedrooms across the main level. The primary suite enjoys views across the established gardens and includes a substantial walk-in wardrobe and spacious ensuite bathroom with bath and underfloor heating. A further bedroom features its own ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms are serviced by the main bathroom. The lower level provides further flexibility, with a large family room or library opening directly to the terrace and garden courtyard. A contemporary separate studio provides valuable additional space and includes a powder room, separate electricity supply and double glazing. Positioned on 2094 sqm and surrounded by exceptional established grounds, the property is private and features a number of spaces to enjoy outdoors. A wrap-around verandah provides a sheltered place to sit and relax in the warmer months, while established lemon, lime, peach and apple trees contribute to the mature garden setting. The home has been comprehensively upgraded for year-round comfort, with central heating and cooling, reverse-cycle air conditioning, some double glazing, insulated floors and ceilings, underfloor heating to the kitchen and two bathrooms, an electric heat pump hot water system, and an automated watering system servicing the established grounds. Just a two-minute walk from Taroona Beach and Hinsby Beach and close to excellent schools, the property is also within a short commute of Hobart's CBD. Electric gated entry, ample off-street parking and a separate garden shed with workshop complete this lifestyle property. A substantial heritage home with almost 130 years of history, 'Taroona House' combines original character and generous proportions with a comprehensive contemporary upgrade, creating a home that is both distinctive and highly desirable.
