Nestled into the foothills of Mount Wellington, this inner-city haven is indicative of superb West Hobart architecture at its best. Built in 1920 and still retaining plenty of original character features, this home is a buyer's chance to obtain a slice of history that just so happens to come with gorgeous views.
Coupled with the historic beauty of leadlight windows and original timberwork throughout, this double brick house has undergone extensive renovations to blend charm and modern convenience for a living atmosphere that is a cut above the rest. These alterations to the house were installed with comfort and liveability in mind, and include efficient and effective insulation, underfloor heating in the kitchen, dining, laundry, and family bathroom, as well as both a wood heater and panel heaters in the living area, plus off-peak heating in the hallway. These improvements make this house a warm and quiet sanctuary just minutes from all that West Hobart and the CBD have to offer.
Positioned high on the hill with views of the city and the Tasman Bridge, the house features seven recently refurbished skylights to provide extra illumination all year round. Some of these skylights also feature automated solar-powered blinds for convenience and practicality. The large family kitchen is the heart of the home, made for entertaining and staying connected. It is elegantly updated with modern Meile appliances without minimising the rustic atmosphere of the space.
The house boasts four grand bedrooms, two bathrooms, as well as a thoughtfully positioned sunroom, perfect for basking in the sun's golden rays from the comfort of indoors. If external living is more your style, then you have options in both an exterior deck and a large courtyard. The carefully curated and beautiful garden consists of well-established native flora and fruit trees surrounding the property, acting as a forest to provide privacy and crisp, fresh air from every angle.
Further updates to the property include a roof replacement, greater structural support beneath the garage for heavier electric vehicles, NBN, contemporary wiring and plumbing infrastructures, and painting of the exterior of the house completed only last year.
Being situated in West Hobart allows the property to be close to all amenities and services, minutes away from Hobart's famous Hill Street Grocer, or the waterfront of Sandy Bay and Battery Point, and very near to the bus stop for quick and vital access to Hobart's best education options, including Taroona High School and excellent primary schools.
Having been a beloved family home for the last 43 years, this property has been tenderly cared for and maintained and presents the perfect opportunity to be called home again for many decades to come.
