Welcome to 'Imlay Cottage'… a truly stunningly renovated home in the heart of Devonport's Heritage Precinct.
Built in 1900 this home had undergone a stylish restoration but still retains many of its original period features. Couple this with modern conveniences, makes this home not only beautiful but practical also.
All 3 bedrooms are large, reminiscent of homes built in this period and have built-in robes, overhead fans, panel heaters & quality carpet underfoot…. And a lovely attention to detail.
Often unlike homes of this period the open plan living space is light, bright and beautiful. This gorgeous area opens out though double glass sliding doors onto a stunning undercover alfresco dining area. Taking advantage of the afternoon sunshine this area extends the home beautifully.
The timeless kitchen has undergone a full renovation and has a large pantry, quality Fisher & Paykel appliances and ample bench space, all in simple but beautiful neutral tones. The dining room is large and has two stunning floor to ceiling walls of recycled bricks that gives a reminder of days gone by.
The lounge room is again a lovely size with stunning Tasmanian Oak floorboards underfoot, a large window that floods the room with sunlight and a large reverse cycle air conditioner.
Now to the bathroom… and what a stunning bathroom this is. Fully renovated with a beautiful curved walk in shower, large double vanity and toilet. The colours are stunning, the styling is impeccable… what's not to love.
Adjacent to the bathroom and entered of the deck is the laundry. This room could easily be converted (STCA) to a second bathroom/laundry for those requiring a second bathroom or toilet.
Then there is the garage… just brilliant. A double remote controlled door opens up into a large space with overhead storage and the clever owners have created a further room at the back that is fully lined and heated and currently used as an office/studio. This also opens into the back yard from double glass sliding doors, so plenty of opportunity here for those working from home with a home based business.
The gardens are as pristine as the home. Beautiful cottage gardens with roses, gorgeous lavender and bright potted colour. Whilst the block isn't large the home is well forward, so the backyard is still plentiful for the children or animals to play.
There is a remote controlled gate to allow seamless entry and there is plenty of off street parking for a further two vehicles at least.
This area… where do I start. You are literally right in the heart of the CBD with access to gorgeous cafes, restaurants and all the other conveniences you would expect of a city this size. The Living City Precinct is up and running with stage 2 of construction about to be underway.
This has literally brought our beautiful city to life with a new large carpark, the Paranaple Centre and Provedore place where you can wander through the market, taste the fine foods and watch sporting events on the big screen.
Devonport is the gateway to Tasmanian where you will never get tired of watching the Spirit of Tasmania enter the harbour loaded with tourists.
Homes such as this, in such a delightful area are hard to find and don't last long on the market. So please pick up the phone and call the listing agent Wendy Squibb, I will be delighted to show you through.
