Privately positioned on Hobart's coveted city fringe, this architect-designed, Japanese-inspired residence by influential Tasmanian architect, Barry McNeill, offers a compelling combination of tranquillity, scale and future potential across approximately 1.5 hectares of subdividisable land (STCA, plans available).
A discreet entrance reveals a home of quiet sophistication, where finely crafted hardwood timber elements and expansive glazing capture sweeping easterly views of the River Derwent, and across Sandy Bay to Hobart CBD. The thoughtfully designed floorplan balances connection and retreat, with generous living areas flowing to outdoor entertaining zones, complemented by a private upper-level primary suite and a separate study/studio.
Flexibility is a defining feature, with a self-contained apartment beneath the main residence and a separate one-bedroom chalet with garage, ideal for extended family, guest accommodation or supplementary income.
Lifestyle amenity is exceptional, including an indoor pool with sauna, a bathhouse and a rock-climbing wall within the garage. A substantial workshop once used for boat building, provide further versatility, an opportunity to work from home or useful additional income potential, with the warehouse on the southern side of the property currently leased privately (access from Cosgrove Ave). Recent updates, including fresh internal painting, new wool carpeting and a wood heater, enhance comfort, while electric gates and a Hikvision Acusense CCTV system ensure security.
The grounds are both expansive and beautifully established, with stone walls, winding pathways and a rich selection of ornamental and productive trees, including Japanese cherry, camellia and magnolia, alongside weeping bottlebrush, horse chestnut and sycamore. Fruit-bearing apricot, lemon and pear trees further enrich the landscape, creating a private, park-like setting.
419 Liverpool has dual access from Liverpool Street and Cosgrove Avenue, and concept plans for subdivision into two additional lots accessed via Cosgrove Avenue (STCA). The home has been enjoyed by just two families since its construction and provides an idyllic sanctuary moments from the Hobart CBD.
