Swan Street has got to be the jewel in North Hobart’s crown - with it’s magnificent heritage streetscape and quiet cul de sac location literally around the corner from everything the Elizabeth Street commercial precinct has to offer.

Holding its own with distinctive street cred is the recently completed 1/26, a unique property which has been cleverly designed and meticulously executed to create a home where the best of contemporary living has been thoughtfully inserted into this fabulous inner city location. In fact, when it won it’s Master Builder’s Association award for excellence, the judges praised "The clean, modern, functional internal layout, fitout and finish and the more articulated external façade treatments which are exquisitely appropriate to this location".

Positioned, almost like a treehouse, amongst beautiful old, established trees, this immaculate, near new townhouse is accessed via a distinctive, elevated walkway, with convenient off street car parking at the door. This light filled home is elemental, with an emphasis on classic finishes - brickwork, timber and glass and considered accents which give a nod to the heritage houses on either side. Double glazed throughout, the myriad windows frame leafy vistas, which change with the seasons, dappled sunlight and an outlook over the rooftops to the city and River Derwent.

Cleverly designed over 2 floors – level access from the street delivers you to the upstairs entertaining area with statement Tasmanian Oak floors, a stylish and practical cook’s kitchen with stainless steel 90cm Ilve cooker and rangehood, Asko dishwasher, stone benchtops, large pantry and plenty of storage. The kitchen is at one end of a large open plan space which has plenty of room for a dining table and a sitting area which and can be further extended by opening the sliding doors onto a deck. A a reverse cycle heat pump and separate powder room add to the creature comforts on this level.

A long hallway on this level has a study area at one end and a laundry at the other. The main bathroom is also accessed off the hallway as is the 2nd double bedroom which also has built in cupboards.
