Occupying a blue-chip position in one of Sandy Bay's premier locations, this wonderful family home is so much more than meets the eye, than you might first imagine.
Built in the 1920s, the property provides ample flexibility with an adaptable floor plan that will appeal to a vast array of purchasers with its timeless character, contemporary updates, and flexible living and accommodation options. The expansive home set over two levels offers up to five bedrooms, a formal living room, and a central living zone with seamless indoor/outdoor flow. The grounds are landscaped, low-maintenance, and fully fenced with space for children or furry friends.
The property retains its heritage features with beautiful stained glass windows, picture rails, and ceiling roses throughout, with carefully curated modern updates that are both sympathetic and functional. The front of the home has a formal living room complete with a bay window, original fireplace, and mantle now fitted with the ease of a gas heater and a door that leads to an undercover veranda where you can enjoy an early morning cuppa.. There is a master bedroom with an ensuite with built-in robes, together with a further bedroom and a home office/library/private retreat.
At the heart of home is the very modern kitchen which has stone benchtops, Bosch stainless steel appliances and plenty of storage with a bay window that enjoys wonderful morning sun. The dining area is a generous space and is fitted with extensive custom cabinetry and polished Tas Oak floorboards. Off the dining area is a very private and protected green-filled courtyard, a wonderful spot to relax with a good book while enjoying the afternoon sunshine.
The home has had a thoughtful extension in previous years and provides a seamless flow through to the central living room complete with a pellet wood heater for ambience, and a reverse cycle heat pump that keeps the area cosy year-round. There are two sets of double French doors that open onto the wrap-around veranda and, in warmer months, would be very welcomed by purchasers who love to entertain.
There is a laundry/utility room on this level, which has an abundance of storage that looks out onto a private space. Ascend the stairs to find two generous bedrooms, both with Gothic arched windows, one with built-in robes. These bedrooms are perfect for older children or guests as they are very separate from the rest of the accommodation. There is a central bathroom with a soaker bathtub, a separate shower, and a double vanity.
There are several outdoor entertaining options with one undercover area, which could also serve as a carport with potential to be a garage if desired, with a shed for storage directly behind. There is room for up to 3 tandem car spaces in the driveway.
York Street is a much sought-after and desirable address surrounded by beautiful stately homes, and this property is certain to appeal with meticulous presentation and adaptability to meet the changing needs and desires of a wide range of purchasers. Just minutes to the Sandy Bay shopping and dining hub, a bus stop directly opposite, less than 3 km or a 25-minute walk to the Hobart CBD, surrounded by great schools and a short stroll to the water and the yachts, this home is immaculate, and the location is first class.
