Overview

Unique property with endless potential

Grand in both scale and style, this commanding five-bedroom historic home offers a peaceful rural lifestyle, just 25 minutes' drive from central Hobart - a perfect combination of country character with everyday convenience. Based on old newspaper clippings found onsite and early council records, construction is estimated between 1870 and 1900. The property was extensively renovated 30 years ago, transforming it into a well-equipped and comfortable residence, with care to preserve its rich heritage. Many period features remain, including open fireplaces, timber fretwork and panelling, plus kitchen cabinetry and built-in bookshelves crafted from the original rough-sawn floorboards. The expansive living area is made up of an elegant formal lounge and dining room, rumoured to have once been a bakery - now ideal for hosting guests. The functional kitchen is generously proportioned with an easy flow between the living zones, the sunny family dining space has a wood fire for winter warmth and double glass doors leading directly outdoors, and a second lounge provides a relaxed and versatile communal space. Split across the home's two levels, all five bedrooms are spacious and most have built-in storage. The three top floor bedrooms each has a balcony to enjoy the morning sun and serene views of the paddocks and rolling hills, and the master also contains a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. One of the two downstairs bedrooms - with an integrated work bench - is well suited as a study, office or hobby room. A bathroom is located on each level, in addition to the ensuite. Outside, the verandah extends to a covered entertaining area - a wonderful spot to unwind and take in the tranquil surrounds. The rambling grounds include an established veggie patch which will need to be revitalised, but enthusiastic gardeners and hobby farmers will relish the challenge. The large 1.71ha parcel of land is connect to town water, which is rare for outlying properties in the area and a huge advantage if expanding the garden or keeping livestock. There's also a double carport and plenty more parking available, a sizeable shed/workshop, and a quaint picker's hut (requiring restoration before use). Old Beach is a popular and family friendly area with excellent amenities on offer, and major shopping centres in Rosny, Bridgewater and Glenorchy are only 10-15 minutes away. There is a choice of local catchment schools, public transport close by, and a very manageable commute into the city. This remarkable property is filled with history, unique character, and incredible potential. Contact Warwick today to arrange a viewing time - don't miss this exceptional opportunity!
