Tucked away in a quiet street, this home presents excellent proportions with a generous and versatile floor plan. Lovingly renovated and developed over the past decade, the house and gardens have been crafted to create the ideal family retreat and, with current subdivision approval, the expansive parcel of land offers an opportunity to unlock value now or in the future. From the moment you arrive, the lush, grand trees at the front of the property hint at the charm within. Stepping inside, high ceilings, decorative cornices, and solid wood doors create an immediate sense of quality and warmth. The formal entry sets a calming tone, leading seamlessly to the light and spacious living area and open-plan dining. A timber mantel and gas fireplace add to the home's character, while floor-to-ceiling, double-glazed windows enhance both comfort and efficiency. Connected to the dining, the updated kitchen has considerable storage, soft-closing drawers, a pull-out pantry, and a cosy sitting nook for informal meals. Flowing back to the central hallway, the accommodation wing features three generously sized bedrooms, each with its own unique features. The master suite includes a walk-in robe and refurbished private ensuite. The secondary bedroom has a wall of custom built storage, while the third bedroom, currently used as a home office, opens onto a timber deck through double glass doors. The central bathroom - conveniently located near the secondary bedrooms and living areas - features a shower over bath, Tasmanian oak vanity, and a heated towel rail for added luxury. This home enjoys a selection of modern comforts and luxurious amenities, including a Daikin ducted heating and cooling system, a 3kW solar system, ceiling fans in all three bedrooms and living areas, and a combination of block-out and sheer curtains for both style and practicality. At the rear, the covered outdoor dining area and courtyard offer versatile spaces for both entertaining and relaxation, with a mix of open and sheltered areas to enjoy year-round. The detached rumpus room is ideal as a family games room or a potential self-contained studio (STCA), with some provisions already in place. The extensively landscaped gardens, designed with horticultural expertise, feature Tasmanian native trees and shrubs, fruit trees, a variety of berries, a productive fenced vegetable garden, and a chicken run with a chicken house, all contributing to a small-scale, self-sufficient lifestyle. Further up the site, the owners have created a calm and peaceful space in "The Hut". With its own mini potbelly stove and elevated views to the west, it's the perfect place to unwind as you take in the sunset. The property also features several outbuildings, including an old stable nestled within the gardens. The garage offers abundant storage and workshop space, complete with a remote-controlled door and a loft for even more storage. The double-width driveway and large carport provide ample off-street parking. Rear-yard access at the side allows for future development, with council approval already in place. This property truly feels like home, inviting you to enjoy the garden before returning to the comfort and tranquillity of a modern home. This location balances the spaciousness of a large block - offering potential for future development - with the convenience of being just 12 minutes from the CBD. You are within walking distance of the St Leonards Supermarket, public and private schools, Metro buses, and the family friendly local, which some people say has the best pub meals on offer.
