A delightful surprise from the moment you step inside, this spacious and light-filled home offers a wonderful blend of original character, thoughtful updates and contemporary living, all within an enviable city fringe setting. Behind its private, gated entry and charming front garden, complete with established fruit trees, lies a home that offers far more than first impressions might suggest.
The original home retains plenty of charm, with high ceilings, elegant bay windows, picture rails and polished floorboards flowing throughout. The renovated kitchen is both practical and inviting, incorporating a cosy sitting area centred around a gas fireplace. There also a third bedroom and a combined bathroom and laundry.
A more recent addition has transformed the living experience, introducing a beautiful light-filled space with double glazing and expansive picture windows. Framing leafy green outlooks towards the Domain, alongside striking urban and kunanyi / Mount Wellington views, this is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the changing outlook throughout the seasons.
There is plenty more to discover, with a fully lined loft area accessed via a pull-down ladder from the kitchen, complete with lighting and power. Equally useful as a hobby space, occasional retreat or additional storage, it is a welcome bonus. Beneath the home, a generous utility area with toilet and additional subfloor storage provides further flexibility, while an undercover BBQ area and separate lock-up storage space add to the practicality.
For those seeking some off-street convenience, there is potential to create parking for one vehicle (STCA), or alternatively, an ideal secure space for bikes, a motorbike or scooter. For an inner-city property the gardener will enjoy the thoughtful mix of fruit trees and wicking garden beds as well as a thriving lemon tree..
Positioned in a highly walkable city fringe location, leave the car behind and enjoy everything at your doorstep. From the renowned dining and café scene of North Hobart to the waterfront, Royal Hobart Hospital, the Domain and the excitement of the football scene at North Hobart oval, this address puts the very best of city living within easy reach.
Kept cosy by a combination of gas and electric heating, gas hot water and cooking and running costs supplemented by extensive solar panels. Character, space, light and an exceptional location come together in a home that is genuinely full of surprises. The ultimate city home, ready to be enjoyed.
