This architecturally significant residence—featured in 100 Hobart Houses 1901–2000 by Miranda Morris and originally designed in 1955 by R. Nairn Butler for R.E. Palmer—combines timeless mid-century style with modern comfort. Set well back from the street, the home feels private yet inviting, introduced by a generous porch framed by a freestone wall and a broad glazed sidelight.
Lovingly held by the current owners, this classic South Hobart home is reluctantly offered for sale and is ready to welcome new custodians who will appreciate its recent upgrades and enduring charm.
Spread across two well-designed levels, the layout provides exceptional space for relaxed and harmonious family living. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows capture sweeping views stretching from South Hobart to the city skyline, the Tasman Bridge and the River Derwent, filling the home with natural light.
Solid Tasmanian Oak floorboards run throughout, and the north-facing aspect ensures beautiful sunshine from first light. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area offers both wood and electric heating, creating a warm and comfortable gathering space.
A flexible floorplan features two generously sized bedrooms on each level, with the main bedroom enjoying the luxury of an ensuite and walk-in robe.
The recently renovated kitchen is bright, spacious, and perfectly positioned for everyday living and entertaining. It flows seamlessly into the dining and living spaces, which in turn open onto a timber deck overlooking the leafy garden and those outstanding views.
Three bathrooms service the home—two on the upper level, including a modernised main bathroom, and a retro-styled downstairs bathroom complete with terrazzo floor, large shower, and bath. The lower bathroom presents an exciting opportunity to redesign and create a contemporary retreat.
Additional features include solar hot water, wide hallways, a curved feature wall downstairs, excellent storage, and access to another timber deck that spans the front of the home.
Surrounded by established, private gardens, the home enjoys a tranquil setting enhanced by large windows that bring the outdoors in.
