Superb architect designed and constructed family oasis Displaying consummate design integrity throughout and site-specific innovation and sensitivity, this stunning family residence is without doubt one of Hobart’s best-kept secrets. Designed, built and occupied by the Dean of the School of Architecture at RMIT, the home is beautifully positioned beside the Providence Valley rivulet and its original 1850’s sandstone bridge, bringing history and contemporary living into perfect symmetry. Nestled behind an automatic security gate and enjoying complete privacy, this fabulous home features an extraordinary attention to detail and utilises the highest quality materials. Solid Myrtle timber doors, double layer insulation, double-glazing and fully ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning ensures a warm and supremely quiet home, while 4.5 metre ceilings and the use of floor to ceiling windows creates an airy and naturally bright interior. The floorplan accommodates a central open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, as well as a second living or kids area that is partitioned off by a fully retractable solid timber screen. The gourmet kitchen features top of the range Miele appliances and also includes an acoustically sealed laundry alcove. There are four bedrooms, all with built-in robes and sliding-door access to the outside deck, and two immaculate contemporary bathrooms featuring luxurious Philippe Starck fixtures. The deck area is a marvel and provides an extraordinary space for family downtime and entertaining friends. Set beside the soothing sounds of water trickling down the rivulet, there is a large couch seating area, plus a heated outdoor table and Smeg bbq area that seats up to ten people and features two retractable awnings. With off street parking for three cars and a single lock-up garage included in the package, as well as terrific convenience to North Hobart, the CBD and local public and private schools, this flawless residence is a remarkable opportunity to secure a rare and unique home for your family.
