The interesting address will immediately spark interest from those that love the outdoors and beautiful bush that Hobart is lucky to have on its doorstep. But when you add in a gorgeous architecturally-designed modern sleek three bedroom, two bathroom home with the finest fittings and features, it will definitely seal the deal. It really is a most impressive home in a peaceful tranquil location, yet only a quick easy eight-minute drive, all downhill on Huon Road to the CBD.
Cleverly and thoughtfully designed by the acclaimed Room 11 Architects and built in 2012, the home sits facing north/east to capture all day sun. Double glazed windows ensure it is both energy efficient and a warm home year round. It is also a very attractive design and colour scheme, in keeping with the environment. A feature is the use of cypress pine as an external feature and the beautiful deck and entertaining area central to the design of the home.
The L-shaped home is essentially on one level, bar a few steps to the kitchen and living area, which is practical for a family in particular with young children. The entrance off a double carport and storage area is welcoming with the hallway featuring the beautiful natural bluestone tiles which are used extensively throughout the living areas of the home, which are lovely to walk on and retain the heat. There are two generous carpeted bedrooms off the hallway with large built in wardrobes, and both with access to the main bathroom which features a Japanese maple and pebble feature garden view. Soft touch custom made white drawers and quality fittings ensure a luxury bathroom experience you would find in a five star hotel.
The designer kitchen, dining and living area with sliding doors to a fantastic deck is a real attraction, especially as the home has been designed with high ceilings, letting the light, views and outdoors in. Floor to ceiling windows also add to the appeal. There is a lovely designer wood heater built into the wall and reverse cycle heat pump. The master bedroom and ensuite is off the entertaining area in a class of its own, a real parents’ retreat.
So if you are wanting modern class and fresh mountain air just a quick commute from the city, then you would be hard pressed to find a better location.
