The iconic 'blue house on the hill', seamlessly melds classic original features with contemporary updates to culminate in a warm and inviting character filled home. Positioned in a quiet, sought-after pocket of West Hobart adjacent to the Peace Park, yet desirably located within easy walking or cycling distance of Hobart's CBD, this property offers picturesque views over the city and South Hobart, all the way to the water. The entry level is dedicated to living with the dining and well-equipped kitchen at the rear and living room at the front. Each opens onto a sunny deck to create seamless indoor/outdoor living and multiple areas to enjoy the private and productive leafy garden. The staircase to the upper level reveals two double bedrooms serviced by the modern renovated bathroom. Further flexible living space is provided with a garden studio/home office with sundeck and sub floor storage in the rear yard. Timber floorboards, leadlight accents, picture rails and fireplaces are a nod to the home's era, whilst solar panels, double glazing and the refurbishment of the original windows enhance the energy efficiency of the home. A combination of panel and wood heaters ensure year round comfort. Close enough to revel in vibrant city fringe living, yet far enough away to enjoy Hobart's natural surrounds, the nature trails of Knocklofty Reserve and the Hobart Rivulet Track nearby mean hiking and mountain biking opportunities are right on the doorstep. Enjoy the best of both worlds in this charming home offering lifestyle and location.
