Positioned on one of West Hobart's most distinguished streets, this architect-designed transformation of an early 1900s Arts & Crafts residence delivers a rare blend of heritage character, modern comfort and premium construction quality. Under the guidance of architect Steve McCarthy and completed by Eiszele Construction, the home has been reconfigured and rebuilt with a commitment to longevity and functionality.
Enjoying a desirable north-easterly aspect, the home is naturally light-filled throughout the day, with morning sun reaching deep into the living spaces and a calm, even light carried across the upper and lower levels. This orientation also enhances the year-round usability of the outdoor areas, making the transition between inside and out a true extension of the home.
The central open-plan kitchen, dining and living area has been designed as the primary gathering point, with clear sightlines, generous proportions and finishes chosen for durability and understated elegance. Character elements from the original home have been retained throughout, allowing the property's history to remain visible without compromising the practical performance of the renovation. Large glass sliding doors connect the living zone directly to the outdoor entertaining area and expansive backyard, creating a cohesive and highly functional indooroutdoor flow. This entertaining area is enhanced by an outdoor spa, with an inbuilt trampoline and cubby house perfect for young families.
The landscaped grounds are a significant feature seldom available so close to the CBD. Vast lawns, structured terraces and established garden beds provide a wide variety of spaces to enjoy. A productive garden zone includes established vegetable beds, chicken pen and seasonal planting areas, offering both lifestyle appeal and everyday practicality for those who value home-grown produce. Established producing trees include apple, lemon, apricot, cherry, blueberry, walnut.
Multiple heating and cooling options ensure year-round comfort, including zone-controlled ducted heating, a reverse-cycle split system, and a wood fire, allowing the home to adapt efficiently to Hobart's changing seasons.
Accommodation is generous, with well-separated bedroom zones, including a master suite complete with a modernised ensuite, and a layout that supports both family living and guest privacy. An appealing exposed bricked double garage at street level provides convenient off-street parking while preserving the home's classic façade and street presence.
With its premium address, city-fringe convenience, architectural pedigree and substantial landscaped allotment, this property stands out as a rare opportunity in the tightly held West Hobart market. It is a home designed for long-term enjoyment, combining quality, character and thoughtful planning in equal measure.
