Beyond the attractive stone cottage façade, this beautiful residence offers more than first impressions may reveal with a complete renovation and rear extension presenting spacious contemporary living and an enviable city-fringe lifestyle overlooking the city of Hobart. Completed in 2006, by Detour Design Architects, the rear extension emerges as a modern contrast to the historical bones of the original 1860's cottage providing an elegant fusion of heritage charm and modern sophistication. Within the interior of the original footprint, the open layout of the family/dining and kitchen space is functional and stylish in design, and incorporates the finest appliances, including quality brands with the likes of Miele & Bosch, with room for the family to enjoy gourmet creations. Four bedrooms occupy this part of the property, each with their own charming features, and the family bathroom and laundry provide fresh, clean spaces. A passage through the private courtyard and enchanting garden room leads to the entrance of the extension. Contained within this architect-designed zone, the master bedroom offers a luxurious retreat with an opulent walk-in robe, ensuite bathroom, library room and large glass sliding doors to the paved courtyard. The upper floor of the extension is immediately impressive with magnificent panoramic river views and all-day sunshine. This space contains a kitchenette, powder room, designated media area and opens onto an exquisite entertainment deck. The delightful garden features plantings of fruit trees and a verdant grassy area for endless enjoyment. Additionally, the home provides energy efficiency with 24 solar panels, is situated on two separate titles, and provides secure garaged parking.
