Originally constructed as a gardener's cottage for the rivulet market gardens, this warm and inviting character home has undergone a stylish renovation to create the very best of contemporary living that complements classic original features. Basking in all day sun with skyline views of Battery Point, this property is desirably located less than a minutes' walk from the cafes, shops, restaurants and boutiques of Sandy Bay Road.
A soft monochromatic palette has been used throughout, with spacious open plan living at the rear forming the heart of the home. Original floorboards meet a burnished concrete slab in the galley style kitchen with quality European appliances and capacious storage. Light-filled living and dining, with glass doors opening onto the fully landscaped back garden to create seamless indoor/outdoor living and a relaxing space to entertain outdoors.
Three queen bedrooms each have bespoke joinery robes including one with fold out queen bed to create flexibility in the floorplan. The bathroom has been renovated to incorporate floor to ceiling tiles with a freestanding Studio Bagno basin and heated towel ladder. With quality fixtures and fittings throughout, upgraded plumbing and wiring, watering system, fresh exterior paint and a restored front verandah; mains gas hot water, a wood heater and under floor heating in the slab ensures year round comfort. Two off street car parks are a bonus in this locale, and there is a large external shed with plumbing for an extra WC.
Elegant, sophisticated and well considered, this is a comfortable home in an enviable location that has been renovated to a high standard. Properties of this calibre are a rarity and this cottage presents an exceptional opportunity to buy into a cosmopolitan pocket of Sandy Bay offering ease of access to Marieville Esplanade, UTAS, the Royal Tasmanian Yacht Club, Battery Point, Salamanca and Hobart's CBD.
