Designed by the renowned architect Esmond Dorney, whose iconic works feature throughout Hobart, this stunning home is a very fine example of his work and a striking testament to his innovative and signature modernist project. Immaculately intact and original throughout, this is a wonderful opportunity to acquire both a beautiful retro-style residence, and a still effortlessly comfortable and contemporary family home to cherish.
Inside, the great design and craftsmanship is immediately apparent. The spacious open-plan living and dining area features polished timber floors and fabulous floor to ceiling timber panelling, perfectly balanced with neutral white walls and ceilings, to create a warm and welcoming ambience. The residence has a sunny northerly aspect with great views through the large corner windows of the river and provides an abundance of natural light and there is also a fireplace plus access to a rear balcony.
The adjoining kitchen is completely original and features a classic service window. There is a central, sky-lighted timber-panelled hallway with extra cupboard space, leading to the three bedrooms on this level. The double master has built-in robes. There is a separate bathroom, toilet and laundry with outside access via rear stairs.
The lower level of this terrific home includes a fully self-contained one bedroom flat with bathroom, kitchenette and a spacious parquet-floored living area, offering extra accommodation versatility or possible rental income. There is also an office/utility room with private entrance, and a separate workshop with excellent under-house storage.
This brilliant residential package also includes a carport and extra off-street parking, a low-maintenance rear yard with access to the Truganini National Park and walking track, as well as close proximity to Taroona High School. This is a must-see home and not to be missed.
