6 Morris Ave, Taroona is a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1900. The property has a land size of 911m2 and floor size of 365m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in October 2021.
It is rare that such an historic property comes on the market: "Winmarleigh Lodge and Stables" is iconic in the Taroona landscape. Its Tudor Revival style with half-timbered high gables, although visible from the Channel Highway, is situated in Morris Avenue, privately nestled behind hedges and established trees. Built in 1888 on the "Winmarleigh" estate to house the coach, horses and gatekeeper, the building was converted some 40 years later to a residence for the son of the owner and his family.
Through renovations over the years, the carriage house, stables and tack room have been converted into living areas, whilst the spacious loft has become the master bedroom. Built of solid brick with sandstone details, many of the original features of the building have been maintained, including the lifting mechanism for the loft, original fireplaces and the decorative louvred turret.
This 4 bedroom home is full of character and scope. On the ground floor are 3 spacious living areas plus a study/bedroom, a farm-style kitchen opening onto an extensive conservatory that captures the sun, and a laundry/bathroom. Upstairs are two bathrooms, two double bedrooms, and a vast master-bedroom with views of the Derwent River.
The charm of the house is enhanced by rambling gardens with their meandering sandstone, brick and gravel paths, and patios that are accessed through French doors from the two main living areas and conservatory. The gardens are well-established with a variety of plants ranging from bulbs and perennials to camellias, roses, and larger exotic bushes and trees.
Situated at the northern end of Taroona, "Winmarleigh Lodge" is approximately 10 minutes' drive to both the Hobart CBD and Sandy Bay shopping precinct. Lower Sandy Bay shops, beaches and recreation facilities are within walking distance, as are the beautiful beaches and foreshore walks of Taroona. Both public and private schools, UTAS and various sporting facilities, are also easily accessed with a regular bus service passing the bottom of Morris Avenue.
