Positioned within one of South Hobart’s most tightly held pockets, this remarkable residence of grand proportions presents a rare opportunity to secure a home rich in history, character and enduring appeal.

Constructed in 1940 and thoughtfully designed by noted Hobart architect A. Lauriston Crisp, the home stands as a testament to a bygone era of craftsmanship, scale and considered design. Originally built for Dr Terrence Butler, a respected Hobart physician and significant benefactor to The Hutchins School, the property carries a legacy that continues to resonate today.

Set on an expansive 5,468m2 parcel, the property enjoys far-reaching, elevated views across Hobart, the River Derwent and kunanyi/Mount Wellington, a breathtaking backdrop that shifts beautifully with the seasons.

Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the home offers a spacious lounge complete with a cosy wood heater, alongside an adjoining dining area. Thoughtfully connected, these spaces create a seamless flow while still retaining a sense of distinction. Expansive glazing enhances the natural light throughout, beautifully framing the stunning outlook and adding to the home’s inviting atmosphere.

The vibrant kitchen, contrasted with natural Huon pine elements, provides a unique and character-filled space, complete with room for casual dining and a well-appointed walk-in pantry.

Spanning two generous levels, the home comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms along with a dedicated study, offering flexibility for families or those working from home. The master suite is a true retreat, generous in scale, filled with natural light, capturing stunning outlooks and complemented by a private ensuite. The main bathroom, positioned on the first floor, is well configured for family living and features a shower over a built-in bath, vanity basin, and a separate toilet.

Outdoors, the grounds deliver a lifestyle opportunity rarely found so close to the city, with established gardens, a chicken coop, kennel space and additional storage. Practicality is also well considered, with garage accommodation, ample off-street parking, and an abundance of storage throughout the home.

Held by just two owners throughout its lifetime, with the current custodians having cared for the home for over four decades, this is an exceptionally rare offering in a location where homes are tightly held across generations.

Situated just minutes from Hobart’s CBD, South Hobart is renowned for its village charm, leafy surrounds and direct access to kunanyi/Mount Wellington’s walking tracks and natural beauty. With popular cafés, local shops and quality schools nearby, this is a location that perfectly balances lifestyle, space and convenience.
