Home among the gumtrees
This architecturally designed masterpiece sits quietly yet confidently in the hills of Taroona, capturing sweeping river views, a leafy tranquillity and a refined modern aesthetic that evokes a true sense of luxury and calm. Designed by award-winning Hobart architect Room11, the home is innovative in its design and intelligent in its craftmanship, a standout example of contemporary Tasmanian architecture.
Cleverly spread across three expansive levels, the home is bathed in natural light and offers a series of beautifully connected spaces for living, entertaining and retreating. Clean architectural lines are softened by natural materials, creating warmth without compromising on striking design.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen is both sculptural and highly functional. Showcasing natural timbers, quality appliances and a beautifully appointed island bench, it’s a space designed for gathering. Large sliding doors create seamless flow to the covered timber sundeck, an inviting, all-season entertaining zone where you can host friends, enjoy quiet mornings with coffee, or simply unwind as the world feels miles away.
The upper level is dedicated to rest and rejuvenation. The master suite feels more like a five-star hotel retreat, complete with a luxurious ensuite featuring premium tiles and fittings, underfloor heating, and breathtaking views. Waking here each day is nothing short of extraordinary. Also on this level is a light-filled study with access to its own private deck, an inspiring space for work, reading or quiet reflection.
Downstairs offers exceptional flexibility. Whether you envision a second living area, a spacious home office, an additional master suite with adjoining bathroom, or a combination of all three, this generous zone adapts effortlessly to your needs. It’s a space that makes working from home feel anything but routine.
Adding further versatility, there is a fully insulated and dedicated home gym flowing out to landscaped, low-maintenance native gardens framed by established gum trees. The outdoor spaces are thoughtfully designed to complement the architecture while embracing the natural surroundings.
A double carport with a secure lock-up workshop provides the perfect setting for creative projects, hobbies or additional storage – practical inclusions that enhance everyday living. Taroona remains one of Hobart’s most tightly held suburbs, prized for its peaceful, leafy environment, proximity to the CBD and easy access to quality schools, beaches and essential services. It’s a lifestyle location that delivers serenity without sacrificing convenience.
Words alone struggle to capture the feeling this home evokes. It is a place of awe and quiet wonder, where architectural brilliance meets warmth, where luxury meets liveability, and where the ambience of a boutique hotel blends seamlessly with the comfort of home.
