126 George Street
Devonport, TAS 7310

126 George Street is prominently situated among the finest locations in Devonport, offering commanding views of Bass Strait, the cityscape, the Mersey River estuary, and the Western Tier mountains. This home benefits from an elevated position just beneath the crest of George Street, providing picturesque vistas extending along the coastline to Wright and Egg Islands, as well as local beaches such as Moorlands and Northdown.

Its proximity to community amenities enhances its appeal: within 150 meters of St Brendan Shaw College, less than one kilometer from Nixon Street Primary School and Devonport High School, and close to recreational areas including The Four Ways, Byard Park Sports Complex, Devonport Surf Life Saving, Bluff and Coles Beaches. The city center lies only 1.7 kilometers away, easily accessible for an active family lifestyle.

Boasting a flexible layout, the residence features at least four bedrooms, one family bathroom, and two ensuites. Additional spaces include options for a studio or home office, formal lounge, and a second living or rumpus room. The home is structured over two levels, each with private access and vehicle entrance. Unique among two-storey homes, residents can drive in and enter on either level, providing convenience and versatility.

The upper floor serves as the principal living area, housing the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living spaces that extend onto a deck overlooking stunning and expansive views. The panoramic outlook can be enjoyed at all times of day and year, whether from inside through large windows, or outside on the deck and in the landscaped garden.

The gardens are well established with terraces and ornamental beds at the front, while the rear gardens are secure and actively cultivated to grow a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits throughout their growing seasons. The easterly orientation and gentle slope ensure ample morning sunlight and natural protection from prevailing winds, creating an ideal microclimate for gardening.

Produce commonly grown on site includes runner and broad beans, cauliflower, leeks, rhubarb, cabbage, lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, corn, carrots, parsnips, cucumber, and zucchini; fruit varieties encompass apples, figs, apricots, lemons, red currants, and grapes. The terraced garden beds have been designed to simplify care and maintenance on this moderately sloped site.

Constructed circa 1972 with brick and tile materials, the home has undergone significant enhancements over time. These upgrades include renovated bathrooms, new entry doors, glass balustrade on the deck, refreshed flooring and carpet, updated built-in wardrobes, roofing improvements to the carport, installation of new downlights in living areas, fresh interior paintwork, a new gas hot water system, and rejuvenation of garden beds and fencing.

The residence is bright, well ventilated, and crafted to frame its beautiful surroundings. Heating is provided by a fan-forced gas fireplace supplemented by ducted heating as needed. The kitchen is well appointed with modern electrical appliances including a range, oven, dishwasher, and walk-in pantry.

The deck offers an inspiring setting for creative activities such as painting or photography and is equally suitable for enjoying social occasions. Designed for those who appreciate the outdoors and natural light, the home encourages waking with the sunrise without the need for curtains. It suits multi-generational living arrangements and supports various lifestyle options including running a home office or creative studio.

Prospective buyers are encouraged to carry out their own due diligence concerning permits, measurements, and boundaries before settlement.
