Last Listing description (July 2025)

Set in a quiet, elevated position that provides plenty of sunlight and a stunning 180-degree bird's eye view over Hobart and surrounds - this unashamedly vibrant and vintage four-bedroom home is truly unique. It offers character, versatility, and endless potential in a highly sought-after suburb.A spacious open plan living area occupies the top level, which is a glorious kaleidoscope of colour that Austin Powers himself would be proud of! Natural light pours into the lounge and dining space through sliding doors opening onto the balcony - a perfect place to take in the magnificent outlook over Mt Direction, the Bowen and Tasman bridges, casino, Bruny Island, and far beyond. The adjoining kitchen has a granite benchtop, heaps of storage, and direct access outside.Two grandly decorated bedrooms, the master with a built-in wardrobe and an ensuite; a family bathroom with a vanity, separate bath and shower; plus, a wet area with a toilet and laundry facilities complete the upstairs.True to its opulent interior, a curved staircase leads down to two more sizeable bedrooms (both with built-ins), second toilet, and space for a bathroom which has some plumbing installed but remains unfinished. There's also a storage/workshop space that could be converted to a cellar if you prefer, and a large rumpus room.Both upper and lower levels are set on a concrete slab, and the rumpus has its own external door. The room is unlined, but a little work could transform this into a functional space to accommodate larger families.Outside is a carport, lock-up garage, and a greenhouse. The terraced rear yard has huge potential with some further landscaping or clever garden design, and the flat area near the house would be a wonderful spot for entertaining, outdoor dining, or peaceful contemplation.West Hobart is a very popular location, with many conveniences and amenities close by. Central Hobart is only 2km away, and there are well-regarded schools in the area (including Lansdowne Crescent Primary just down the hill). Quaint and convenient West Hobart shops, and North Hobart's restaurant strip are all within easy reach. Plus, those who enjoy being active outdoors will love exploring Knocklofty Reserve, located behind Sheldon Place.Don't miss the opportunity to secure this remarkable home in all its superb vintage glory, abundant space, and incredible views.
