Set on a generous 773 m² (approx.) allotment in a peaceful and convenient pocket, 3 Newlands Avenue is a beautifully renovated period home that balances timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. Offering flexible living across two levels, the home is ideally suited to families, professionals, or those seeking space close to the city, while also presenting exciting further development potential (STCA). The substantial landholding and versatile layout open the door to future possibilities such as creating a dual income property, adding further accommodation, or exploring additional development to maximise the site's value.
From the moment you arrive, the home feels welcoming and well considered. A stylish mudroom entry provides a practical everyday landing space, complete with built-in seating, storage and hooks, ideal for busy households. Inside, the home's original charm is immediately evident, with polished Tasmanian oak floorboards, high ceilings, ceiling roses, decorative fretwork, and incredible period details such as stained glass windows, original fireplaces, and door handle features, all carefully retained and enhanced by fresh, contemporary finishes.
Western and northwestern light streams through the living areas, creating bright, airy, and inviting spaces. The main living area is warm and centred around a wood heater, framed by a beautiful bay window that floods the room with natural light. The main bedroom is generously proportioned, complemented by newly installed built-in robes, while the renovated bathroom is fresh and well-appointed with modern fixtures.
At the heart of the home, the brand-new kitchen is both functional and refined, featuring quality appliances, an induction cooktop, and excellent storage. Adjoining this space, a versatile sunroom or scullery adds further practicality, complete with an additional sink and dishwasher, ideal for entertaining or everyday use.
The lower level offers exceptional flexibility, with a layout that adapts easily to a variety of needs. Here you will find a second living or rumpus room with new carpet, opening through double doors to a newly built timber deck and landscaped garden. Additional accommodation includes a large bedroom with double-glazed windows, a further bedroom with its own wood heater, and a dedicated study. A second bathroom and laundry complete this level, along with generous under-house storage.
Also beneath the home is a fabulous sandstone wall cellar, providing an excellent cellar or additional storage space and adding yet another layer of appeal to this character-rich property. The configuration of this level further enhances the home's suitability for dual living or income-producing arrangements.
Outdoors, the property continues to impress. The expansive backyard provides a private and established setting with level lawn, garden spaces, and a pergola for outdoor entertaining. The size and accessibility of the block, combined with two separate driveways, offers excellent scope for future enhancement or redevelopment (STCA), whether that be extending the existing home, adding ancillary accommodation, or further utilising the land to create additional income streams.
Energy efficiency has been thoughtfully considered, with a 13kW solar system comprising 20 panels helping to reduce ongoing costs, alongside double glazing in key areas for improved comfort.
Quietly positioned yet highly convenient, the home is just moments from local shops, schools, cafés, Calvary Hospital, and public transport, and only a short drive to the Hobart CBD.
Character-filled, flexible, and beautifully updated, 3 Newlands Avenue offers a rare opportunity to secure a substantial home with both immediate comfort and long-term lifestyle appeal, complemented by genuine future potential (STCA) for those looking to further capitalise on this outstanding site.
