Last Listing description (December 2025)

Effortlessly stylish and rich in character, this beautifully presented weatherboard home strikes the perfect balance between classic warmth and refined modern comfort. Set discreetly behind a picturesque front garden, it offers privacy, tranquility, and undeniable street appeal - an urban retreat in one of Hobart's most sought-after suburbs.

Freshly painted inside and out, including the fencing and decking, the home feels renewed from the moment you step inside. Light-filled interiors showcase freshly polished Tasmanian Oak floorboards, a calming colour palette, and new light fittings throughout. Comfort is enhanced by a reverse-cycle air conditioner replaced in 2023.

The charming country-style kitchen features quality modern appliances, including a plumbed side-by-side fridge freezer with water and ice dispenser, along with a new oven and stovetop installed last year. With generous storage and impressive bench space, the kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area - the perfect setting for relaxed family meals or effortless entertaining.

The elegant main bathroom blends everyday practicality with timeless design, offering a freestanding shower, bath, vanity and toilet. Three beautifully appointed bedrooms each include built-in robes designed to maximise comfort and functionality.

Outside, the landscaped garden is a true extension of the home's living spaces. Established plantings frame a level lawn, while flourishing raised vegetable beds benefit from a timed irrigation system. The front and back gardens are also fully irrigated, making maintenance simple. A wisteria-draped side deck with built-in timber seating provides a serene place to unwind, and the impressive undercover alfresco area - complete with a fully plumbed outdoor kitchen, three beer and soda taps, an under-bench bar fridge and a woodfired pizza oven - ensures exceptional year-round entertaining. The home's recent exterior improvements, including new guttering along the front, further enhance its overall presentation and care.

The striking timber-clad outbuilding is another standout. Cleverly designed and highly versatile, it incorporates a full laundry with built-in storage, a fourth bedroom, study or home office, a powder room, and a dedicated wine storage space. Passively designed with additional insulation, the structure features a thermal break around the wine room to maintain an ideal 1317C environment. Stylish, practical and full of character, this space significantly enhances the property's appeal.

Additional features include a discreetly hidden washing line, a charming sandpit, and full rewiring of both the main house and studio completed last year. Ample street parking is available, with the option to create a single off-street parking space if desired.

Positioned at the peaceful end of Pedder Street, just moments from Carlton Street Park, this residence offers serenity with exceptional convenience. Quality schools, major shopping centres, transport links and a renowned bakery are all within an easy stroll - yet the home remains tucked away in a quiet, tightly held pocket of New Town.
