A stunning transformation, a substantial opportunity
An expansive allotment of approximately 1,955sqm, a beautifully renovated character home and exciting development potential combine in this desirable location. Supplied plans illustrate a proposal to retain the existing residence and introduce four additional dwellings, offering substantial scope to capitalise on the generous landholding, subject to council approvals. The home itself delivers immediate appeal, with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, multiple living areas and private courtyard entertaining. Thoughtful renovations and a modern extension complement its original charm, while a leafy outlook and views of the water, city and mountain complete this impressive lifestyle or investment opportunity.
Behind the classic weatherboard façade, decorative detailing, leadlight windows, coloured glazing and polished timber floorboards accentuate the home’s original character. An enclosed sunroom creates a welcoming introduction to the home, with expansive windows capturing sunshine and framing the outlook. Timber-framed French doors lead into the original living room, where an arched decorative fireplace adds to the homes charm. Blending beautifully with the original interiors, the contemporary galley kitchen features sleek white cabinetry, generous benchtops and integrated appliances, complemented by breakfast bar seating for casual dining. The adjoining dining area flows into a spacious second living room within the modern extension, where polished concrete flooring and abundant natural light enhance the appeal. Glass doors connect this space to the private courtyard, while reverse-cycle air conditioning ensures year-round comfort.
Four generously proportioned bedrooms combine traditional charm with contemporary comfort, featuring soft carpet and a mix of built-in and walk-in storage. The main bedroom includes a walk-in robe and a spacious ensuite with a separate bath and shower, while a second bedroom also benefits from its own ensuite. The main bathroom features a walk-in shower, vanity and toilet, complemented by crisp white tiling. Character windows and high ceilings enhance the original bedrooms, while a separate concealed laundry adds everyday practicality.
Opening directly from the rear living area, a private courtyard provides a sheltered setting for alfresco dining, weekend gatherings and quiet relaxation. Beyond, the extensive grounds offer room for gardens, outdoor recreation and ample off-street parking. The scale of the allotment also presents an opportunity to explore its longer-term potential, with supplied plans illustrating a proposal to retain the existing home and introduce four additional dwellings. Any subdivision or development remains subject to council approvals, allowing buyers to investigate the possibilities while enjoying the beautifully renovated residence.
With waterfront parkland across the road and the River Derwent close by, the home enjoys a desirable setting that brings together open space and everyday convenience. Childcare, primary and secondary schools, a swimming pool and sporting facilities are all within walking distance, while Rosny’s shopping and services, the Tasman Bridge and Hobart’s CBD are within easy reach. Combining enduring character, modern liveability and substantial landholding potential, this is an opportunity with appeal both now and into the future.
