Overview

Located just 1.5 kilometres from Hobart's CBD, this circa 1900 double brick residence harmoniously blends its enduring heritage charm with contemporary comforts, presenting an ideal home for those valuing both character and modern living. The extensive renovations over recent years have enhanced the property's inviting atmosphere, boasting five bedrooms and versatile living spaces that offer privacy and functionality rarely found together.

Upon entering, one is greeted by period details such as antique tiles, stained-glass paneling, and a wide hallway framed by high ceilings featuring chandeliers and ornate ceiling roses, complemented by Tas Oak floorboards—all of which speak to the home's rich character. Thoughtful modern upgrades, including integrated sound speakers throughout, ducted heating, and underfloor heating in bathrooms, marry seamlessly with the heritage elements, ensuring year-round comfort.

The refined lounge with a marble fireplace offers a sophisticated yet welcoming environment, while the adjacent formal dining room is perfectly suited for entertaining. Further along, a spacious open living area centered around a stone fireplace with gas heater connects to a kitchen outfitted with marble benchtops, an island bench, soft-close cabinetry, and quality appliances, forming a practical hub for daily living and social gatherings.

The accommodation is enhanced by two well-appointed bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a study nook, laundry, and a superior two-way ensuite featuring a freestanding bath. Upstairs, the master suite serves as a private retreat complete with its own ensuite, built-in storage, dedicated reverse-cycle air conditioning, and additional space, making it suitable for parents or those seeking a peaceful sanctuary.

The fully landscaped, leafy yard is secured by a large front fence and electric gate, providing safety and privacy. Complementing the home is a versatile self-contained studio with kitchenette, bathroom, and lounge/bedroom, ideal as an outdoor entertaining area, home office, or short-term accommodation. A garage equipped with three-phase power, remote door, parking for one car, workshop, and storage further enhances practicality.

Conveniently situated near a primary school, bike paths, bus stops, shopping precincts, cafes, restaurants, university campus, parks, and beaches, this home offers a balanced lifestyle. It will appeal to families or professionals seeking a character-filled yet modern home in a central, accessible location.
