Overview

A Stately Period Home with Character, Space and an Exceptional Location

Positioned within one of East New Town's most desirable enclaves, this substantial period home makes an immediate impression with its commanding street appeal, solid brick construction and beautiful established gardens. Reflecting the craftsmanship of its late 1930s origins, the property offers a wonderful sense of character and tranquillity, complemented by established greenery and an assortment of fruit and ornamental trees. Inside, the home's period charm is evident throughout, with decorative timberwork, an exquisite period staircase, Tasmanian Oak floorboards, solid Blackwood doors and striking window surrounds. Generous room proportions and a sunny aspect further enhance the sense of space and warmth, creating a home that retains the character of its era while offering comfortable family living. All bedrooms feature robes, while the upstairs ensuite, with convenient two-way access, adds further functionality to the upper level. An inviting sunroom is a particular highlight, enjoying a northerly aspect, an abundance of windows and interesting outlooks across the surrounding setting. It provides a lovely space to relax and enjoy the natural light throughout the day. The well-appointed modern kitchen is complemented by the dining area, a second bathroom and laundry, while the spacious fourth bedroom or additional living area offers welcome flexibility to suit a range of needs. A wood heater services this room, with ducted heating providing comfort throughout the rest of the home. Set on a substantial allotment of more than 900 sqm, the property offers a generous backyard with plenty of room for families to enjoy. Established gardens provide an appealing setting, while the solid brick construction and garage add further practicality. The location is equally appealing, with the historic Runnymede homestead just a short distance away and a range of local amenities within easy reach, including sporting facilities, New Town nursery and cafe, supermarkets and other everyday conveniences. Hobart's CBD is also readily accessible, providing an appealing balance of established residential living and city convenience. Combining period elegance, generous proportions, solid construction and a substantial allotment in a tightly held East New Town location, this is an appealing opportunity to secure a home with enduring character and room for the whole family.
