Gobsmacking is the only word that comes close. This is your own signature postcard as the panoramic vista of Hobart spreads out before you. It’s got all the icons. The Derwent River, Hobart CBD, Tasman Bridge with Mount Wellington sitting proudly above. At night, the scene shifts as a kaleidoscope of colours and lights impress with distinction. Glass in hand you sit back and reflect on how good life is!

Perched high on the hill, this classy three-bedroom family home matches its view with an eloquent floor plan designed to frame and highlight every angle. Undergoing a stylish renovation in 2008, the lounge, living, kitchen and master bedroom face the rear and embrace vistas all day long. The eye is drawn via floor to ceiling expansive windows as the mood of the elements permeate your everyday living.

The front of house facing Karoola is modest and unassuming but you know there is something special beyond. Two street facing medium size bedrooms welcome on entry with a smart deluxe bathroom with semi-frameless corner shower, plunging bath and timber vanity that cleverly screens the accompanying toilet.

Form the hallway sunlit stairs lead to the parent’s domain. Open your lids each morning and reflect on the natural spectacle via a long rectangular window before you roll out of bed. Loft style sleeping is taken to new heights supported by large ensuite with double walk-in shower, toilet, vanity and extensive walk-in robe.

Enter the main living zone and this is where the view fully smacks you in the face. Open plan living incorporates lounge, kitchen and dining where angles for cooking and dishwashing remove any sense of chore. The kitchen is sleek in shape and form including island bench, plenty of bench space, storage and quality fittings and appliances.

The dining and lounge sit in perfect harmony with the panorama as sliding doors extend off both areas onto a large tiled verandah, perfectly orchestrated for those long summer lunches. Steps lead down to a level enclosed yard with plenty of lawn and space for vegie patch, trampoline, swing set and cubby.

Rewired, new plumbing, new roof and freshly painted, this renovated surburban beauty high up above Lindisfarne and only 10 minutes from the city is a beacon for those who have time to sit back and enjoy the view.
