What you will find behind this front door is well worth the journey. Warm and welcoming Shara Haven’ Circa 1900 is indeed a elegant and private haven’. The richly understated faade leads to a warm family home with all of the grand classical features one associates with this era.

As the original land grant was to a Hobart town builder called John Charles Williams in 1886, Shara Haven has its place in our city’s history. John Williams was known for erecting two houses at a time and there are other examples of his work in South and West Hobart. For the last 28 years this home has been lovingly renovated and maintained by the same owners. They have retained all the beautiful features of yesteryear and tastefully combined them with all the modern comforts of today one would wish for including a reverse cycle ducted heat pump, gas hot water, re-wiring, re-plumbing, and with V-Lam Hush acoustic glazing in the front windows.

The rooms are of most generous proportions with high ceilings and original period features such as ornate cornices and ceiling roses, a polished dark wood staircase. A wide hallway with original features leads to a beautifully renovated sunroom and living space, further flowing onto a discreet deck overlooking an immaculate ornamental walled garden. Also on this level are 2 double bedrooms (one currently used as an informal sitting room), a separate formal lounge and dining room. Ascend a beautiful staircase to two double dormer bedrooms. The bathroom and kitchen have both been updated in recent years.

At the rear of the property you will find your very own secret and private garden’. Follow the winding paths or gaze into the tranquil fishpond, there is a handy shed, outdoor entertaining area and a carport. The garden in Spring is picturesque with established flowering trees.
This is a graceful and charming home in which one will feel comfortable and relaxed. You will also enjoy and appreciate the nearby services and conveniences of South Hobart, the CBD, Fitzroy Gardens or Sandy Bay all just a short walk away. You couldn’t get a better home or location!
