5 Illawong Crescent

Taroona TAS 7053

First time offered for sale in 16 years, this large 2 storey residence was formerly 2 separate units, but has been utilised as a loving family home. Situated in a prime peaceful location on Illawong Crescent, close by to the popular Taroona school, public transport and desirable Hinsby beach which is only a short 5-minute stroll away down the public walkway. Even the University of Tasmania is 8.7 km in distance and heading a south Westerly direction to Kingston is an approximate 10-minute leisurely drive allowing easy commuting to surrounding prominent suburbs.
Entering via the sealed concreted driveway at the rear you come across a splendid outdoor relaxation or entertaining area which is extremely private. A double carport is currently used as a workshop and there is also a garden shed. On the ground level, there are two large bedrooms with exposed Tas Oak floorboards, kitchen, laundry, bathroom and another small bedroom which is currently used as a teenager s retreat. There is plenty of cupboard storage in the hall way and the veranda out the front is a fantastic place to relax, but the timberwork does need replacing.
Upstairs the quirky home takes a funky twist, with delightful open plan living, dining and kitchen area receiving plenty of natural sunlight through all the windows. Impressive timber boards, neutral colour schemes and an open fire place, complement the splendid water views over the Derwent River to as far as Ralphs Bay. The veranda out the front is in sound condition and witnessing the magnificent outlook from this vantage point will be a most pleasurable and satisfying experience. The kitchen offers a gas cooktop, dishwasher, plenty of storage including a pantry and a cute little island bench. For added convenience the bathroom is located right next to the main bedroom which features built in robes, Tas Oak floor boards and an amazing view.
