A home of unmistakable character, this remarkable residence combines timeless Cape Cod architecture with expansive family living, all within easy reach of Hobart.
Approached along a picturesque driveway, the home's distinctive weatherboard façade, steeply pitched rooflines and welcoming entrance create a wonderful first impression. Inside, generous proportions unfold across three levels, where polished timber floors, exposed beams and traditional detailing bring warmth and character to the light-filled interiors.
Multiple living and entertaining spaces provide exceptional flexibility for family life, including a welcoming lounge with wood heater, formal and informal dining areas, an upstairs retreat and a substantial lower-level rumpus and media room.
