The 1950's house on 736m2 and will appeal to gardeners, artists, families, singles, environmentalists, investors or fit retirees searching for an escape from the rush and bustle of the city and yet only 10 minutes to the CBD.
From the moment you walk through the front door and enter this interesting property you are instantly drawn to the amazing panoramic views of the Derwent River over to the Eastern Shore and to the tip of Bruny Island. You really have a sense of being surrounded by nature water, skies, trees, gardens and the ever changing colours of the Tasmanian landscape.
Sun streams into the rooms most of the day through large picture windows providing passive heating to the living rooms. The master bedroom with quirky chandelier and built-in cupboards leads to a renovated bathroom with a glassed door opening onto the private courtyard. The second bedroom has French Doors leading to another renovated bathroom and laundry/utility room.
A new gas heater ensures cosy winters and is installed in the ornate timber and mirrored fireplace in the main living area. A separate dining room with access to two balconies could be utilized as a 3rd bedroom. The sparkling new kitchen has stylish European tiles on the walls and floors, creating a contemporary look and feel and has views to the garden and river.
Gorgeous rambling terraces massed with scented roses, herbs and perennials all tumble over rock walls - a delightful pathway meanders past the fish pond and leads up to a large fenced veggie patch with room for some chooks - for those who love free range eggs!
Downstairs is an Alladin's Cave waiting for your creative flair! Originally built as a one bedroom flat with atmospheric stone fireplace and rock walls in the cosy sitting room, it has an adequate bathroom and a basic kitchenette. With a little TLC, paint and some imagination this additional accommodation would provide in-law accommodation or a unique teenagers retreat. The original staircase from the main house remains intact but is not currently used.
Two balconies provide a variety of sunny spots to relax and enjoy the view or for those weekend brunches or BBQ's. The house sits on the high side of the road with excellent security parking for 2 cars and a further visitor car space.
