Peacefully and privately located behind a white picket fence and established gardens lies a home that's full of soul, space and possibility.
Set on an incredible 1,217sqm parcel of land, this beautifully preserved character home offers something increasingly difficult to find: room to grow, room to breathe, and a lifestyle that feels worlds away from the pace of everyday life, while remaining only minutes away from the heart of Devonport. Originally named "Melita", meaning haven or place of refuge, this property truly lives up to its name.
From the moment you step inside, you'll be captivated by the home's timeless character. Soaring ceilings, polished timber floors, ornate fireplaces and warm Tasmanian Oak, Blackwood and King Billy details create a sense of charm and authenticity that modern homes simply can't replicate.
Designed to adapt to the way people live today, the flexible floorplan features four generous bedrooms, all complete with built in wardrobes. One bedroom enjoys its own external access, making it ideal for those working from home, running a small business, or simply welcoming guests without disturbing the rest of the household.
At the heart of the home, generous living spaces offer flexibility for growing families. Whether it's movie nights in the cosy lounge, kids enjoying their own retreat, or entertaining friends, there's room for everyone to spread out and enjoy.
The large, light-filled kitchen is perfectly positioned to stay connected with family life, offering generous preparation space, gas cooking, quality appliances and a large adjoining dining/sitting area where memories are made around the table.
The expansive covered entertaining deck extends your living space outdoors, creating the perfect setting for weekend barbecues, long lunches and celebrations with family and friends. Cafe blinds provide year round comfort, allowing you to enjoy the space regardless of the weather.
But it's when you step beyond the deck that you discover what truly makes this property special; the gardens unfold into your very own private sanctuary. Established fruit trees, productive vegetable gardens, a greenhouse, chicken run and composting area create the ultimate backyard for those seeking a more sustainable lifestyle. Imagine collecting fresh eggs in the morning, harvesting homegrown produce, and enjoying seasonal crops straight from your own garden.
A magnificent walnut tree, that is over 100 years old, stands as the centrepiece of the landscape, joined by an impressive collection of mature fruit producing trees including ginko biloba, pear, greengage, cherry, apple, lemon, plum, peach, peacharine, mulberry, feijoa, kiwi fruit, olive, kumquat, grape, gooseberry and Tahitian lime. As well as the impressive fruit orchard you will find rhubarb, sage, pineapple sage, rosemary, lemon myrtle, silverbeet, kale & nasturtium. This is a garden that rewards its owners year after year.
Practicality hasn't been overlooked either, with under-house storage, multiple garden sheds, a greenhouse, double carport, a 16 panel solar system and established infrastructure already in place for those wanting to embrace the lifestyle from day one.
