Enjoying a stunning elevated position at the top of exclusive Forest Road, overlooking both West and South Hobart with sublime views of the Derwent River and Mount Wellington up close, this super stylish, architecturally designed split residence sits beautifully in the landscape with the walking trails of Knocklofty Reserve just across the road offering a semi rural escape, literally on the doorstep!
Number 172 is a fine contemporary build, constructed in 2016 with a timeless quality and an emphasis on a sustainable use of natural materials delivering an honest approach to the overall presentation of both the interiors and exteriors, quite devoid of any unnecessary adaptations. Wonderfully liveable for a family to enjoy...the floor plan suits a wide demographic.
Landscaped garden beds and an expanse of lawn at the rear complement the structure. There may well be space for a studio pod in this area and the existing footprint has potential for an extension if so required.

The lower level comprises a very sleek custom made kitchen complete with top quality appliances which opens to a sheltered outdoor kitchen come courtyard spanning the length of the dining alcove.
