This is truly an amazing property in a serene and restful location. With a Japanese influence, the property has many features which will draw you in to fall in love with its architecture and layout.

The absence of walls is of note. Open plan living at its best where ancient tradition fuses beautifully with today’s modern conveniences is clearly visible the moment you enter.

The outer perimeter has an Engawa, a verandah which surrounds the main building and is accessed by way of conventional doors plus 2 sets of magnificent, large, sliding, glass panel doors. When opened, your eyes are drawn to the water glimpse and surrounding flora and allow your sense of hearing to engage with the chirping of native birdlife. Guides are in place throughout to permit the fitting of Shoji and Fusuma panels, which allow for optional separation between the rooms, plus the living areas and the Engawa. These guides are recessed into some of the wall cavities and allow the screens to be hidden totally from view.

The cathedral ceilings and extensive use of timber are showpieces of the interior. The upstairs mezzanine floor could easily be adapted to facilitate 3 bedrooms, given the open plan nature of the sleeping areas. The traditional Tatami is a central showpiece. Clever use of skylights allows natural light to brighten both floors. All windows and the massive sliding doors are double glazed.

The combined wet areas downstairs feature an open shower and hot-tub and sit on a timber slat floor. The unique upstairs wet area is also in keeping with the open plan theme but if desired, can be changed to something a little more conventional.

This address puts the property on the edge of South Hobart in a semi-bushland setting, yet only a short drive to the CBD and Salamanca Place. Schools, shops, cafes, a bush walking track, sports grounds and a host of other facilities are so close by that you have the best balance of city living and country lifestyle.
