Circa 1900, this exceptional residence offers an eclectic mix of elegance and charm, whilst retaining antiquated character and providing contemporary elements. Built on a grand scale, with an overall area of 557 sqm (approx including verandah), this remarkable family home exhibits an abundance of heritage features.
A semi-circular driveway leads to the front door, decorated with freestone surrounds and colourful lead light windows. Glorious Kauri pine floor and an arched hallway welcome you inside and lead through to the formal drawing room with lofty ceilings, bay window with water views and beautiful Tasmanian oak architraves.
A formal dining area accesses the broad, semi-enclosed verandah. The nearby kitchen/family room shows contemporary flair with tiled floors, black granite bench tops and rich Jarrah timber cabinetry which opens onto a sunny, courtyard/entertaining area that's perfect for alfresco dining. A powder room, large study/library (or possible sixth bedroom), laundry and utility room can also be found on this level.
A time honoured staircase winds upstairs to five enormous bedrooms, an ensuite and the main spa bathroom, all of which boast magical views of the Derwent River and Mount Wellington. There is fantastic potential to create a Bed & Breakfast accommodation venture subject to STA.
Enjoy an unrivalled position amongst cafes, restaurants, boutiques, gyms and the amenities of Sandy Bay whilst being within walking distance of the CBD, Salamanca, Marieville Esplanade and UTAS. This home offers a hugely desirable and lively lifestyle of convenience in one of Hobart's most sought after locations.
