This is a unique opportunity to own an amazing property, rich in history, exuding mid-century charm and style. The home was originally built in the 1950′s and has only had two owners in its life. The love and quality that has gone into this home by its current owners is evident in their sympathetic restoration, true to the mid-century history of the property. An in-person inspection really is a must here.
The home was built in the 1950′s by a hard-working immigrant, Louie, who built it for his future wife, Hannah and ultimately their four children. While building the main home, Louie and Hannah lived in the summerhouse, a building constructed from hardwoods with wide board flooring sourced from large packing cases that supplied the Claremont Cadbury chocolate plant with cocoa beans, which today make a most unique flooring feature. The summerhouse has had a full restoration. The fit & finish is impeccable and it has its own electricity metering.
While living in the summerhouse, Louie and his family built the main two storey residence, starting with the independent downstairs area. This 3-bedroom, kitchen, lounge and bathroom is extremely warm and welcoming.
The current owners have restored and installed art deco cornices and period light fixtures and furnishings to bring it in line with the upstairs residence. This remarkable area has a serious nod to the art and glamour of the 1950/60s and is currently running as a boutique accommodation with Air BnB bringing in a steady income. The pride that has been put into this area is evident in the praises they have received from its guests and the property has attracted Air BnB Super Host status. Just one of the awe-inspiring features that can be negotiated with this property is the vintage record jukebox in the main hallway.
Up Stairs is its own stunning self-contained 3-bedroom home and is individually metered for power like the other two. The master bedroom is large, warm and inviting. Leading down the stunning 12-meter long hallway (a full-length feature runner was sourced from an antique shop in Melbourne) are the other two bedrooms and a large art-deco bathroom with stunning tiles imported from Spain. The artist will be impressed and inspired by the Sun Room and the exceptional mountain views available on this side of the home. The Kitchen has been lovingly restored with period Formica benchtops designed and made in Sydney to complement their original period kitchen table and six chairs. The contrasting colour pallet continues into the warmest of living rooms with large windows letting the light in. A beautiful built in fire in the corner is complimented by the stunning wooden mantle.
The down stairs also boasts a completely separate recording & editing suite with a live music room. Perfect for a music enthusiast or professional alike. The Golden Triangle has been achieved in the editing suite, which means that the height, length and width are perfectly balanced for pure acoustics. The ceiling doesn’t touch the walls and the walls don’t touch the floor is separate from the rest of the house. This area can be converted back into two additional bedrooms or an exceptional home cinema room if needed!
As far as locations go – it’s perfect and hard to beat! Only a few hundred meters walk to a local Metro Tasmania bus route, less than 5-minute drive to either the Northgate shopping Centre or the Moonah Business District. The huge attraction of MONA is only 11 minutes away and Hobarts CBD, the waterfront or Salamanca Market are all well under 15 minutes’ drive. 14 Easton Avenue in West Moonah is a unique & stunning Art Deco property with huge potential.
