New Town TAS 7008

Hidden behind a tall hedge is one of New Town's best kept secrets. In more recent years, this gorgeous home has been passionately renovated to showcase the beautiful, natural Georgian architecture melded with high quality modern finishes. Versatile in its layout with rooms and space galore, you will love the private enchanting gardens. This property comes full furnished.

From the moment you step down behind the front hedge, it feels like you are entering a different era. The rooms are all spacious with three good sized bedrooms on the left of the hallway. The main bedroom at the rear of the home adjoins a parents retreat or sitting room (including a beautiful sauna), that also accesses the opulent ensuite complete with a copper bath and vanity, and marble flooring. The main form of heating upstairs is a combination of wood and electric heating, located in the impressive open plan dining/lounge rooms. The kitchen steps down from the dining room and is the perfect place to sit and enjoy breakfast overlooking the garden. It feels like a true country kitchen but with a luxury five gas burner, marble benchtops and all the modern conveniences. A portico opening off the kitchen is great for all weather access when coming in from the double carport which is at street level. On this upper level is also a second bathroom that is ideal for visitors and includes a dinky cedar Japanese spa bath that is both unique and beautiful. A sandstone wall and bamboo flooring radiate an earthy feel to this gorgeous room downstairs which is heated by a natural gas heater. Several sandstone steps lead up to another two rooms that can be utilised as storage or studio/workshop spaces. A great cool store/come cellar underneath is well placed for those extra supplies. Access to the laundry is both internal and external.

From the laundry, you can step outside to the extensive private, seasonal gardens. On just over 1,000sqm of land, you can get lost in the rich array of fruit trees as you meander along the bluestone and sandstone pathways or relax on the fabulous deck that rests at the base of the unforgettable. There is no feeling cold here with natural gas hot water, hot plates and heating combined with the double glazing, wool insulation throughout and triple brick perimeter walls and double brick internal walls, creating an even-tempered home year round. A diverse selection of quality primary and high schools is within easy walking distance or a very short bus ride for children while supermarkets, food stores, cafes and bakeries are close enough to take a walk and leave your car at home. Close to Calvary Hospital and a short drive to North Hobart's restaurant and cafe precinct. Unfortunately pets are not permitted at this property.
