Milton: Gracious Old Colonial Georgian Residence.
Enjoying a lovely leafy position overlooking the Hobart Rivulet, Milton Circa 1830 is within walking distance of both the City Centre and the delights of South Hobart's village scene. Milton is steeped in history, originally the residence of tobacconist and snuff maker George Wilson. A classic Georgian facade and beautiful fanlight over the front door beckons one to explore further. The owners are to be commended on a comprehensive renovation over two storeys, five bedroom, two bathroom residence, with spacious attic studio in addition. The sensitive renovation has created a timeless elegance for the interior, many rooms being multi-purpose, catering to the modern family.
A library, theatrette, formal dining and family dining space adjacent to the Adelaide black Granite kitchen allows family members to be independent. Wonderfully authentic exuding character at every turn. Features of the era include the original Cast iron stove, 6 panelled doors and twelve pane windows, mantle pieces and high ceilings are enhanced by polished floor boards and quality wool Axminster carpet. Beautifully cool in summer, Milton is comfortably year round with wall panelled heating. Set on an extensive 1200m (approximately) allotment and full of seasonal colour, self-sowing perennials, established trees and shrubs provide structure and prospective. The back verandah is a perfect spot for quiet reflection, the only interruption perhaps being the sound of the running water from the rivulet virtually an extension of the garden.
