This recently built north-east facing, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home on Mt Nelson is a haven nestled among the gum trees. There is an awareness of being far away from the hustle and bustle of city life, a place to relax and enjoy, 10 minutes drive from Hobart's CBD.
The house, built by award winning Taurus Construction with interior design by Studio Vincent, is on two levels capturing the sun and surrounds whilst carefully maintaining privacy. Next to the secure double garage an alcove of Tasmanian oak welcomes you as you enter the front door. The warmth of timber continues with naturally polished oak flooring leading through to spacious, open-plan living. This stylish and well-designed area is the hub of the home. The kitchen has quality fixtures and fittings and state of the art design with a generous butler's pantry allowing clear, clean lines in the communal area. Both the living and dining spaces have wide sliding doors onto the timber deck, the glass and stainless steel railing invites the view to the landscaped, low maintenance garden below. A large sliding door divides the living zone from the carpeted home office and media rooms, enabling them to be adapted for working from home.
The upper level comprises three double bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes, the other with a walk-in robe, a family bathroom, and separate powder room. The primary bedroom and its accompanying en suite and walk-in wardrobe-cum-dressing room is where space, luxury and elegance abound. High windows in the street-side bedrooms provide privacy and light as well as tranquil views to the treetops, while the other bedrooms have a wider view into the garden and trees beyond. There is a sense of continuity throughout the home with the elegant use of subtle whites and greys on the walls, carpet and tiling, softened by the warmth of timber benches and shelving. This home is functional, spacious and sophisticated.
Mt Nelson is a most sought-after bushland suburb offering a peaceful, relaxed lifestyle in a natural setting, with easy access to schools, work and recreation. The Mt Nelson Store provides excellent local service while the larger Sandy Bay shopping precinct is minutes away by car. The local primary, high school and college have commendable reputations and are either within walking distance or on the bus route. Non-government schools are also within easy range and a regular bus service travels between the city and the nearby historic Signal Station.
