Family living with panoramic river views in West Hobart Positioned within one of West Hobart’s most tightly held and family-friendly pockets, this substantial residence captures spectacular, uninterrupted views across the River Derwent, stretching across the city and far beyond. Built in 1977, the home proudly retains distinctive architectural features of its era, with warm earthy tones, exposed brickwork, rich timber panelling, extensive double glazing and a thoughtfully designed split-level layout that adds both character and functionality. The upper-level is devoted to everyday living and entertaining, anchored by a sunken, sun-filled living room complete with a wood heater and direct access to a generous balcony. From here, the outlook is simply breathtaking, taking in sweeping city, river and distant horizon views. Formal dining sits alongside a more casual dining and sitting area adjoining the kitchen. A rumpus room occupies the middle level, providing an ideal retreat for children, teenagers or relaxed family downtime. The renovated kitchen is contemporary and refined, featuring high-end appliances, abundant storage within quality cabinetry and sleek benchtops, including a central island that encourages connection and ease of use. The ground floor offers fully self-contained living, thoughtfully designed with open-plan lounge and dining, a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom incorporating laundry facilities, making it ideal for extended family, guests or multigenerational living. Within the main residence, accommodation on the upper floor consists of three generous bedrooms, one with a built-in wardrobe, while the master suite enjoys a walk-in closet, en-suite and direct access to the balcony. A central family bathroom services this level, complete with bath, shower and vanity, with a separate toilet positioned adjacent. Downstairs laundry offers excellent storage, and plenty of space to house necessary appliances. Outdoors, a terraced courtyard provides wonderful entertaining options, including a built-in BBQ area, while the low-maintenance grounds are enhanced by established gardens, leafy trees, hedges and lawn area within the backyard. The property is fully fenced with gated access on either side, and entry is available via the rumpus room as well as the front door, offering convenient level access. A secure garage also provides internal access, and there is ample off-street parking available in the driveway. Set in an outstanding location close to schools, shops, services, parks, and Knocklofty Reserve with serene nature walks, this versatile and welcoming home delivers space, flexibility and breathtaking panoramic views in one of West Hobart’s most desirable settings.
