6A Elboden Street

South Hobart TAS 7004

Nestled amongst some of Hobart's finest historic residential estates, sits this fabulous mid-century home. The house, designed and built in 1953 by prominent architect Roderick Cooper, was heavily influenced by the timeless Marcel Breuer 'butterfly house' showcased at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Occupied by the same owners for the past 28 years and having had only three owners , this represents a rare opportunity to acquire a free-flowing, solar passive home with genuine architectural pedigree, within an ultraconvenient and quiet residential area, walking distance to vibrant South Hobart village and also the city centre. The property also features a highly desirable modern free standing self-contained studio, formerly utilised as self-contained visitor accommodation and ideal for extended families or those desiring a brilliant home office.

This brick and sandstone home features a distinctive modernist aesthetic, notable for its butterfly roof, excellent natural sunlight enhanced by its large windows, versatile floor plan and period features, inclusive of Huon pine window frames, Tasmanian Oak flooring, double fronted sandstone fireplaces and a Mondrian dining room ceiling. Modern inclusions comprise: back to base alarm, Daikin AC, off-peak heating, stunning contemporary bathroom and fully insulated ceiling.
