Supremely located at the very top of prestigious Albion Heights Drive, this substantial and extensively renovated residence offers a sublime lifestyle of absolute peace and seclusion, whilst boasting the expansive River views for which Hobart and its adjacent waterside suburbs are renowned.
The time and care taken by the existing owners to recreate the interior of this substantial property is immediately evident, with a neutral colour palette accentuating the sense of space throughout, complimented by the abundant levels of natural light. The generously proportioned open plan living area flows effortlessly from space to space through to either the verandah and outdoors, or to the stunning glass atrium with stacker doors opening to the rear garden, a wonderful space for summertime entertaining or simply relaxing whilst enjoying the everchanging vistas in this uniquely relaxing setting. The beautifully appointed kitchen by award winning joiners “Kam Joinery” is a feature in itself, and forms a focal family hub, with top quality appliances, sleek stone bench tops, island bench plus an abundance of workspace to impress even the most avid gourmet.
In the bedroom wing, accommodation comprises 4 genuine double bedrooms, including spacious master with walk in wardrobing and luxurious ensuite, plus the beautifully appointed main bathroom is a sleek and up to the minute in design, fully tiled with stand alone bath and vanity. Heating throughout is by ducted reverse cycle heat pump and woodheater.
The five acres is a mix of established bush, native gardens and rolling lawns at the rear, cleverly shielding the house from the road frontage and automatic gates providing security. Previously used as “Albion Heights Cattery” there is existing infrastructure in place which would also suit cat or dog breeders, in fact a range of animal interests.
Vehicle accommodation is extensive, offering a brick fully lined double garage adjacent to the residence, plus an abundance of off street parking with level access to the front entry. Perhaps one of the most interesting features of this property is the separate 260m2 workshop/garage. Fully powered with roller door entry and ability to drive through, this space has previously been used for wholesale business purposes, and is ideal for car collectors or people wishing to run a home based business sympathetic to the serene nature of this property.
With easy Highway access to the centre of Hobart and the bustling Schools and facilities of Kingston, this is a truly unique property in one of Southern Tasmania’s most beautiful positions, offering City convenience with the peace and quiet of country living. Inspection strictly by appointment.
