Curtis Myrtle Villa C1870

From its charming Victorian façade to the wonderfully renovated interior and leasy care rear gardens, this superb property has an appealing mix of historic beauty and modern allure. Such care and consideration has been given to retaining the inherent character and charm paying homage to the past, but bringing it more into harmony with its surrounds and todays lifestyle requirements.

One of the most intrinsic features regarding future proofing this home, is the addition of the lift providing easy access to the upper floor and together with level rear access makes this property suitable for most.

Embellished with a collection of historic features which have been meticulously and thoughtfully restored to ensure the heritage aspect is retained so the original features and modern-day inclusions can coexist and create visual accord.

Careful colour selection, of whites, greys and blues has created a relaxed atmosphere, with ,handmade Italian tiles, original timber floors, exposed brick, ceiling roses and open fireplaces all adding to the appeal of this wonderfully warm and welcoming home. The practical and functional kitchen with French doors opening to the private rear garden, provides an idyllic gathering place for friends and family extending to the decked entertainment area.
The bathroom with double shower and vanity, add a pop of colour with a contemporary element and a concealed laundry is strategically placed for ultimate convenience.

The central hallway provides easy access to the two double bedrooms on entry level, both with built in robes as well as the formal living and dining room with skylight. An original staircase as well as the lift, lead to the upstairs bedroom and study nook with a utility room incorporating a toilet adjacent with scope to add an additional bathroom if needs be.
Stunning City and mountain views can be seen from the dormer window with water and docks glimpses from the front sunroom. The generous attic allows for copious storage as well as the potential to increase the existing footprint of the home.

The ultimate surprise is the beautiful light filled studio at the rear of the property, currently used as another sitting area and art room. Nestled in the generous gardens and surrounded lush greenery, the atmosphere surrounding this wonderful space is very inspiring. The studio may also be appropriate for accommodation, with a conversion to self-contained (STCA), or perhaps a home office.

A converted ‘outhouse’ is now a storage shed for garden implements and a new addition of another shed is perfect for the keen gardener as a potting shed or alternatively as a cubby house. With the inclusion of raised vegetable gardens, a chicken coop, a fully enclosed cat run and a very unique dog kennel, this amazing property really does provide something for everyone.

The garden is made up of unique zones, from the alfresco potted area, to the shaded Fern and Clivia space, with vegetable and herb garden at the rear. Mixed planting of fruit trees, roses, and succulents blend with the cat run to embrace a connection to the garden full of surprises.

Under the house is a substantial sandstone lined cellar and store room, very dry, clean and secure and there is off street parking for two vehicles at the front of the house which a much appreciated and valuable asset for inner City living. The Aquatic Centre, the Queens Domain, dog walking and exercise areas, tennis centre, bike track, Salamanca and all that is associated and the superb docklands of Hobart are all within very close proximity and easily accessible and a short stroll with have you right in the City centre.
