Bathing in sunshine, this immaculate two storey residence enjoys inner city living without compromising on space or amenities.
Centrally located in one of Hobart's blue-chip suburbs, 224 Melville was originally built circa 1875 and over its lifetime utilised as a cobblers’ workshop and residence. The current owners have elegantly and tastefully renovated, moving it firmly into the 21st century while honouring the property's heritage.
The entrance level features beautiful period detail such as the high ceilings with ornate roses and cornices. An open plan kitchen and dining at the rear of the home benefits from a modern renovation which includes double glazed windows, quality appliances in the kitchen, stunning light fittings, floorboards and stacking doors that flow seamlessly to the rear garden. With a family lounge off the side, this space features custom-made floor to ceiling bookshelves, an exquisite electric fireplace, and large doors opening to the rear garden.
The generously sized master suite has room for a king sized bed, built in robes, and a new ensuite bathroom with exceptional design and colour lasting palette. Across the main hallway is a second living room adding another space for families to enjoy, and the flexibility of a potential study.
The second storey is comprised of 4 charming bedrooms, each enjoying a unique and beautiful outlook. The front two bedrooms enjoy different aspects of the River Derwent across to the Eastern Shore, with the rear two bedrooms enjoying views of Hobart's prized kunanyi / Mount Wellington. Two of these rooms feature storage into the eaves, while they are kept warm in winter through ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning, and cool on those hot summer days. A newly renovated family bathroom services these bedrooms on the ground floor.
The established European garden at the rear has been cleverly landscaped and features automated watering to allow for complete privacy from neighbours while being low maintenance and still feeling expansive, perfect for a growing family. The tasteful outdoor kitchen provides an alfresco experience rarely enjoyed within West Hobart.
On the side of the house is perched a large studio, perfect for a home business or office. The double lockup garage can comfortably store two cars while keeping the workshop free at the rear, and further off-street parking for up to 3 vehicles.
Call Ed or Jules today for a private inspection, or we look forward to seeing you at one of the open homes.
