Built in the 1900's and still possessing all of its charm and character 'Bella Vista' occupies one of the most endearing positions in the much loved suburb of Glebe. Nestled less than 2kms from the Hobart CBD Glebe offers all the benefits of city fringe living with the delights of The Queen's Domain and its glorious open space with plenty of parks and green areas including The Royal Botanical Gardens and abundant recreational facilities. Favoured for its fabulous mountain and city vistas, it is a tightly held area with a lovely mix of Victorian, Federation and mid-20th century dwellings.
This beautifully proportioned home offers all of its original Victorian features with a floor plan that is both traditional and adaptive to the varying requirements of today's modern living. There are up to 4 bedrooms (two with built in robes) or the opportunity to have two separated living spaces. Each room features an original fireplace with customary ornate mantelpieces; tile surrounds and two rooms have functioning wood heaters. The kitchen is a galley style featuring recycled 1800's Baltic pine. The bathroom is of generous proportions with a walk -in shower.
Enjoy the beautiful Mount Wellington views from the sundeck, which sits above delightful, mature gardens below. There is also a separate studio/office together with a laundry and storage area in this space. The studio could provide endless options for buyers looking for an external option from the house to work, hobby or relax within. There is off-street parking for one small car, a plethora of storage and a workshop space under the house all secured by a remote -controlled electric roller door.
The current owners have commissioned one of Hobart's leading architects to develop plans that reconfigure the rear of the property to allow for an extension that would highlight the beautiful views and enjoy the orientation to capture the welcome sunshine. The plans are ready for DA approval and much negotiation has been undertaken with the Tasmanian Heritage Council.
This proud home is ready for a new chapter and with a magic location that allows for a short stroll into the centre of the city or a similar trip to North Hobart's restaurant strip it offers a great city fringe lifestyle. 'Bella Vista' will be attractive to a wide range of buyers looking for this iconic location and a house they can make a home.
