Tucked within a tightly held enclave of Lenah Valley, this impressive and truly unique mid-century residence captures sweeping views of kunanyi/Mount Wellington while offering a lifestyle that is both distinctive and versatile.
Deceptive from the street, the home unfolds into a substantial, multi-layered property where retro charm, rich classic features and thoughtful contemporary upgrades come together in a way that feels both authentic and elevated.
Set across two levels, the residence has been designed to offer flexibility, with each level functioning as a self-contained space. Extensive glazing invites natural light throughout while framing the surrounding landscape.
The main floor is centred around a light-filled living room that flows effortlessly into a family dining area, before opening into a sun-filled atrium, through to a dedicated pool pavilion and the courtyard beyond.
The spacious kitchen, with glossy timber countertops, features premium appliances, and abundant storage, along with built-in space to dine in with comfortable bench seating.
Three bedrooms are located on this level, each with built-in wardrobes, and are serviced by a central bathroom featuring a shower, vanity and a corner spa bath, with a separate toilet adjacent.
The lower level offers a fully self-contained apartment, ideal for extended family, guests or multigenerational living. A spacious living room is complemented by a fully equipped kitchen with room for dining, while a generously sized bedroom with built-in wardrobes is serviced by a bathroom complete with shower, bath, vanity and space for laundry facilities, and separate toilet.
The sun-drenched pool pavilion features an in-ground pool and hot tub, with an adjoining bathhouse, creating a private retreat-like setting rarely found in residential homes. This space connects seamlessly to a courtyard garden featuring an in-built BBQ, retro-style gazebo, water feature, as well as greenhouses and a potting shed.
The grounds are further enriched by an established fruit garden, including two plum trees, four cherry trees, four walnut trees, a pear tree and mature grapevines, adding to the sense of self-sufficiency and charm.
Recent upgrades include a new roof with insulation, a new entrance, durable epoxy flake flooring in outdoor areas, and double-glazed windows in two bedrooms and the toilet, ensuring improved comfort and efficiency.
There is plenty of off-street parking with two carports, and a secure garage. Storage is plentiful, including beneath the house, and a cellar.
The property is positioned within easy reach of excellent schools and the shops, cafés and amenities of Lenah Valley and neighbouring suburbs, with excellent access to public transport. Hobart's CBD, and North Hobart, are just a short drive away.
Combining iconic mid-century design, expansive and flexible living, and an extraordinary array of lifestyle features, this is a rare opportunity to become the next custodian of a truly special 1960s home in Lenah Valley.
