Desirably located only metres from Short Beach and the grassy lawns of Marieville Esplanade, this lovingly restored C1895 home seamlessly combines classic original features with sensitively implemented updates.

Light-filled and spacious, the renovation has culminated in elegant, contemporary living in one of Hobart's most sought after locations.

A generously proportioned living area on the entry level forms the heart of the home. Comprising the well-equipped kitchen with quality Smeg appliances, granite benchtops and breakfast bar for casual dining, there is also a sunny family room opening onto the deck for indoor/outdoor living over the summer months. Perfect for entertaining family and friends, the deck is private and sheltered making it a lovely spot to relax with a good book or glass of wine. Adjacent is the formal living and dining room offering valuable additional living space and more intimate ambience with original fireplace and mantel.

A double bedroom, two modern family bathrooms, the laundry and a utility room complete the floorplan on this level. Upstairs there are three further double bedrooms, one with a private balcony. Quality fixtures and fittings have been used throughout the home and a heat-pump and electric panel heaters ensure year round comfort. Outside the home is surrounded by a manicured English garden of lawns and low-maintenance box hedges and lavender. Secure off-street parking is provided for in the driveway and there is a garden shed for additional storage.

Close to excellent schools and within easy reach of not only Marieville Esplanade and the nearby rowing, scout and yacht clubs, you will also be spoiled by the many restaurants, shops and amenities of Sandy Bay and the fact that it will be only a short walk to Battery Point, Salamanca and the CBD. A tightly held location, this is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a quality home, enviable address and vibrant waterside and city fringe lifestyle.
