Located in one of West Hobart’s most desirable leafy enclaves is this elegant Federation family home set amidst spacious verdant gardens.

Immediately welcoming you upon arrival are the many period features which include the original stained-glass front entry and hallway arch to name but a few. Accommodation comprises two bedrooms on ground floor at the front of the house, and additional master bedroom upstairs. Each generously proportioned bedroom enjoys a delightful outlook of the leafy surrounds.

The front living room feels especially grand with its beautiful bay window and intricit mantlepiece and fire surround. The bedroom adjacent has built in floor to ceiling bookcases and french doors providing access to a private sunroom which would be ideal as a study or a quite reading nook.

The dining room, complete with open fireplace, connects to the kitchen by way of sliding doors, making the space perfectly adaptable to a variety of settings and entertaining. The kitchen itself is very homely and bathed in afternoon sunlight, with ample storage, open shelving and original fireplace which houses a Lopi slow-combustion wood-heater providing year round comfort to the entire house.

Servicing this bottom level is the bathroom and laundry and a mud room enjoying a northerly aspect and direct access to the courtyard and back garden. This versatile space would also be very appropriate as a play room for the kiddies or an additional sitting room.

The garden itself is undoubtedly an intrinsic feature of this property, with established trees including Japanese maples, a Chinese Pistachio, Circus Forest Pansy, Amalanchier and a magnificent mature Silver Birch as the centrepiece. A paved courtyard by the garden is optimally positioned to soak up the sun, with space to entertain al fresco and the pleasure of collecting ingredients from the extensive vegetable patch and nearby lemon tree proves to be very fulfilling.

Located in the corner is a garden shed, with a garden path running beside the house along the western boundary towards the street frontage. On the other side is the driveway with off-street parking available for three vehicles.

On the upper level of the home is the master-bedroom which enjoys day long sunlight and exclusive access to the northerly balcony which overlooks the garden below. This space includes a built in robe and extra attic storage which is accessed at the top of the staircase.

West Hobart is well renowned for its sense of community and family-friendly atmosphere, making it highly desirable for families and professionals alike. With a suite of local boutiques and services including Hill Street Grocer, Smolt Kitchen and Lansdowne Primary just moments away and North Hobart’s vibrant shopping and restaurant hub within walking distance, this is a beautiful character home with a quintessential West Hobart address.
