While the facade of this imposing heritage home is privately positioned behind established native gardens, it is at the the rear where the magic happens - the property seems to hover over a breathtaking panorama which stretches from the Domain, over the rooftops of Hobart, to the river.

Imbued with a sympathetic mix of historical and contemporary elements this 37 square home provides a backdrop for myriad possibilities for family life. Elegant Victorian period details include decorative mantelpieces, sweepingly high ceilings, bay windows, arched hallways and decorative plasterwork which all enhance the atmosphere of light and space. Contemporary elements include a sleek, stainless steel and timber kitchen, 2 modern bathrooms and hydronic heating.

With a versatile floorplan you are spoilt for choice as to how you choose to live here - utilise spaces for separate living and dining and have up to 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms or switch it up to make use of a 1 bedroom self contained apartment with an independent entrance and its own bathroom and kitchenette within the existing layout.

Outside, while the backyard offers spellbinding views from a wide wrap around veranda framed with wrought iron lacework which spreads out to a spacious deck for al fresco dining and a spa, there is a fenced inground pool next to a separate studio/games room set amongst lawns, fruit trees and raised vegetable beds.

Additional storage facilities include an extensive array of secure storage sheds adjacent to the residence. These would be ideal for an accumulation of various "toys" or as workshop and general storage spaces.

You will also find secure garaging for 3 vehicles with additional off street parking for many more, should they be required.

The already extensive garden extends through to a further parcel of land which is accessed by a right of way where the possibilities for future development are obvious STCA.
