Beckenham - A wonderful family home in the heart of West Hobart Set back from the main road within an idyllic and secret garden sanctuary, this 1915 home has been lovingly and extensively renovated for a contemporary lifestyle, while retaining the charm and character of its original period features. Two access points from Lansdowne Crescent provide pathways to the secluded and private home, each leading you directly to the glorious front gardens with shady trees, manicured lawns, and a myriad of blooming florals. The entrance to the expansive home features a large porch, the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee while admiring the view. Inside, the wide entrance showcases the historical features including high ceilings and picture rails, with polished Tasmanian Oak floorboards underfoot. Two large living areas are located at the front of the home, both with cosy window seats. The bright and open kitchen boasts Celery Top timber and stone benchtops. The walk-in pantry is an enviable feature with plenty of additional drawer and cupboard space. Quality stainless-steel appliances complete the culinary space including an Ilve oven, electric cooktop, rangehood and a Miele dishwasher. The combined dining room is large enough for family meals and to entertain guests, with doors leading outside into the paved courtyard. Continuing on the lower level, a casual, light-filled sitting room with a leafy outlook leads through to two generous bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes. A modern bathroom with shower, bath, toilet and vanity services this level. The large laundry provides ample space and storage and a second downstairs toilet. Upstairs you’ll find the master bedroom with a private balcony and stunning views stretching out across the suburb to the water. There’s a coveted walk-in dressing room and a contemporary en-suite. The fully fenced grounds are seemingly endless and reminiscent of a fairy tale. The entertaining areas are paved with Thunderstone and brick with high walls and steps leading into the expansive gardens which have been lovingly curated and landscaped over the years. Box hedges, vegetable patches and a myriad of fruit trees are at your disposal including lemons, limes, cumquats, grapes, pears, apples and multiple plum varieties. Two garden sheds allow for the ease of garden maintenance, or to store the BBQ. The three-car garage provides secure housing for cars, bikes and storage, plus there’s ample room for additional off-street parking within the large driveway and surrounds. Just a short stroll to popular Hill Street Grocer, restaurants, cafes and schools, this secluded and spacious family home in West Hobart provides peace and quiet in a stylish setting while being only moments from the convenience of the city.
