Privately positioned on approximately six acres of land, with sweeping views across the surrounding hills, Tolosa Park and towards Montrose Bay, this property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the space and tranquillity of a rural lifestyle without sacrificing the convenience of city living.
Set amongst established trees and wide paddocks, the home enjoys an elevated position that captures the picturesque landscape, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. Yet, despite its peaceful setting, the property remains within easy reach of Glenorchy's shopping precinct, schools, services and Hobart's CBD.
The solid brick residence offers a practical, single-level layout, comprising three generously proportioned bedrooms, all with built-in storage, including a main bedroom complete with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. Freshly painted throughout and featuring brand-new carpets, the home has recently undergone a thoughtful refresh, creating a bright and welcoming interior ready for its next owners to enjoy.
At the heart of the home, a spacious living area is complemented by the warmth and character of exposed brickwork, an attractive brick archway and a wood heater, creating an inviting space to relax and unwind. The adjoining kitchen and dining area provides a functional setting for everyday living, while the expansive outdoor entertaining area offers plenty of room to gather with family and friends.
Beyond the home, the property truly comes into its own. Approximately six acres of gently undulating and sloping land provide an extraordinary amount of space to enjoy, with established paddocks, open grassed areas and an abundance of native vegetation. Previously utilised for equestrian pursuits, the grounds also feature an existing dressage arena that offers the opportunity for restoration.
A substantial garage provides additional storage or workshop space, while generous off-street parking further adds to the practicality of the property.
For those with an eye for potential, the home offers an exciting opportunity to further modernise and add value over time, creating a residence that complements its remarkable setting. Whether you envisage a peaceful family retreat, room for animals and outdoor pursuits, or simply the freedom that comes with owning a substantial parcel of land, the possibilities for enjoying this property are considerable.
Adding to the appeal is the exceptional range of recreational facilities and everyday amenities close at hand. The recently upgraded Tolosa Park offers expansive parklands, walking trails, playgrounds and picnic areas, while the nearby Glenorchy Mountain Bike Park provides an extensive network of trails through the foothills of kunanyi/Mount Wellington. The Lower Glenorchy Reservoir is also just a stone's throw away, offering another picturesque setting to explore. Families will appreciate the proximity to Dominic College, Glenorchy Primary School and Cosgrove High School, while Northgate Shopping Centre and Glenorchy Central provide convenient access to supermarkets, shopping and essential services. With MONA also within easy reach and Hobart's CBD readily accessible via the Brooker Highway, the location offers a wonderful balance of outdoor recreation, everyday convenience and connectivity.
Properties offering this much space, privacy and natural beauty within such close proximity to Hobart are increasingly difficult to find. 16 Glenwood presents an opportunity to embrace a different pace of life, without leaving the city behind.
