Lovingly held by the same family since its construction in the 1950s, 8 Barclay Crescent is a home filled with history, warmth and wonderful potential, occupying an elevated and beautifully sunny position with sweeping views across Rosetta and the River Derwent beyond.
Classic red brick construction and the generous proportions of its post-war era set the tone, with high ceilings and a spacious floor plan creating an immediate sense of openness throughout.
The living room is a standout, positioned to embrace the home's elevated outlook with large windows drawing in natural light and framing beautiful views across the surrounding suburb towards the water. With its sunny orientation, the outlook becomes part of everyday living, offering an ever-changing backdrop throughout the day.
Three generously proportioned bedrooms provide excellent accommodation, with the primary bedroom offers hardwood built-in wardrobes together with its own impressive outlook over the River Derwent.
The spacious family bathroom offers a separate shower, bath and vanity, complemented by a separate toilet for everyday practicality.
Carpet currently lies over the home's original timber floors, presenting an exciting opportunity for the next owner to uncover and enhance more of the property's original character.
Solid and much loved, the home has remained in the care of the same family for more than seven decades, with its generous floor plan providing comfortable living as it stands while offering enormous scope for buyers wishing to update, renovate or enhance its original features over time.
Positioned on approximately 667m², the property also includes a single garage with automatic roller door, along with ample under-house storage providing excellent additional functionality.
Position is another major advantage. Ideally located close to Rosetta Primary School and Montrose Bay High School, with MONA, St Hugo's Café, the Montrose foreshore and nearby walking tracks all within easy reach.
Glenorchy's major shopping precinct is only minutes away, while Hobart CBD is approximately 15–20 minutes by car, providing excellent convenience while retaining the relaxed feel of an established residential neighbourhood.
Solidly built, wonderfully sunny and elevated to capture an impressive River Derwent outlook, 8 Barclay Crescent represents an increasingly hard-to-find combination of character, space, position and potential.
