Telopea a gardeners heaven!! Located in peaceful Longley, just 20 minutes from the Hobart CBD, is this spacious 39 square home with plenty of room to move. The home has 4 double bedrooms, some with built in robes, 2 separate living areas, dining and country style kitchen. Lots of original features in the home include polished timber floors, open fire places, mantles and french doors from the main bedroom still remain. Renovations such as new paint, new wiring, plumbing upgrades, and new floor coverings have all been completed. The owners had the word economy in mind with this home as well, by installing a hydronic heating system in the home. There is a new slow combustion stove in the kitchen (and a gas stove for the summer months) which is connected to a heat exchanger, capable of generating 16 kilowatts of energy. The stove is connected to six radiators located throughout the home, and the hot water is also heated this way. In the summer months, there is a solar panel which heats the water so the combustion stove is not required, reducing the cost of electricity significantly. Outside there is 16 acres of gardens, a pasture field and bush leading to a creek boundary. The gardens are well established with so many varieties of plants, shrubs, rare prize winning bulbs, mature trees, climbers, fruit trees, currants, berries, perennials, plus much much more, creating flowers and colour all year round. Walking through the magical gardens, you will also see lots of history captured in the garden including hand made rock walls, magnolia and mulberry trees that are older than the home itself, daffodil fields, an enclosed vegetable garden, free range chook house, and various sheds and outbuildings.
A peaceful, self sufficient property, nestled in a peaceful area South of Hobart!
