Nestled beneath the historic Stanley Nut, this property is an iconic example of a Californian Bungalow. Positioned on a 1,100m2 corner block, its land holds one of five remaining canary island palms in Stanley. Known as "Holmes House", John Holme was one of twenty pilots in the First World War and called this place home from its construction in 1931. Constructed of heritage Tasmanian Huon pine, with celery pine windows, King Billy pine and Tasmanian Oak flooring, the retained period details contrast beautifully with the sympathetically renovated kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen offers marble benchtops along with high quality appliances, including an ILVE upright stove, as well as views to the gardens. The adjoining dining space is bathed in natural light and further adjoins the formal living room. Decorative ceiling roses, hardwood picture rails, and cosy wood fire heating all add to the ambience of this room, a bay window with bench seat offers views of the iconic "Nut". The three bedrooms are each of good proportions, two offer their own bay window and decorative fireplaces. The broad entrance hall provides built-in bookshelves and linen storage. A separate sitting room offers a flexible fourth bedroom or secondary home office, the central bathroom has been elegantly renovated with underfloor heating and a large walk-in double shower, it retains its original led light windows and hardwood picture rails. Further down the hall, a separate laundry and home office with Starlink internet connected, as well as an additional separate toilet are more convenient additions. Direct internal access into the oversized 11 x 6.5m garage holds abundant storage and workshop space. Plentiful other off-street parking options are available. The gardens are truly a commendation to the owners, with ghost bamboo, magnolias, camellias, elm tree, roses, two maple trees, Western Australian Christmas trees and hydrangeas are just some of the trees and plantings found within the garden. An underground well with a pump and an approximate 400L carbon filtered water tank are more convenient additions. Truly one of Stanley's most iconic residences, Stanley is a historic fishing township known for its incredibly well-preserved colonial buildings and its massive volcanic plug known as the "Stanley Nut". The Nut is a sheer-sided, flat-topped volcanic plug that towers 143m over the historic township. To own your own iconic piece of one of Tasmania's most iconic townships, contact Lochie today.
