Overview

This meticulously crafted 1963 home presents an extraordinary blend of original bespoke design and modern thoughtful improvements, offering a residence that feels just as special today as when it was built. Set on a generous 675sqm parcel, it boasts a commanding 180-degree vista that includes the River Derwent, Derwent Park Marina, the Domain, and reaches towards the Eastern Shore, making the lounge a stunning centerpiece designed to capture these views perfectly.

The property's hallmark is its dedication to craftsmanship and enduring quality, evident in features such as the original hand-cut parquetry flooring, custom-built bluestone fireplace with an open fire, and curved timber panelling that add character and warmth throughout. Living spaces are versatile, with areas that can flexibly serve multiple household needs, such as a sitting room adaptable for dining or music.

The kitchen integrates practical modern conveniences, including black heart sassafras cabinetry, granite benchtops and splashbacks, an integrated dishwasher, induction cooktop, and convection microwave oven, alongside an incorporated laundry. Accommodation includes three bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a bathroom design that separates the shower, vanity, bath, and toilet, enhanced by distinctive mosaic floor tiles.

Recent thoughtful enhancements such as double glazing, ceiling insulation, natural gas hot water and heating, solar panels, and NBN connectivity complement the home's character without compromising its original charm. Externally, visible bluestone foundations, original timber detailing paired with low-maintenance cladding, alongside practical outbuildings including a workshop, garden shed, carport, and dual driveway offer ample space for vehicles and equipment.

This home offers a rare opportunity for those who value genuine craftsmanship, quality materials, and architectural integrity, providing a living experience marked by warmth, history, and a unique sense of place.
