1 Westringa Rd, Fern Tree TAS 7054, Australia
Imagine coming home to this sanctuary nestled in a quiet and leafy pocket of Hobart’s popular mountain suburb of Fern Tree. This well-constructed home has been meticulously and completely renovated by the current owner, a licensed Master Builder, resulting in an elegantly designed family home with nothing left to do.
The addition of a generous, architecturally designed ancillary dwelling at the rear of the main home adds versatility to this property, appealing to purchasers with additional accommodation requirements for elderly family members, young adults, working from home, or an additional income stream.
Through the welcoming entry foyer, the generously proportioned heart of the home is warm, light-filled and inviting. The living room, with the cosy ambiance of a wood heater, leads through classic barn doors to the open plan kitchen, dining and family lounge area. The flow continues through large glass sliding doors open onto an expansive hardwood entertaining deck with built-in gas and charcoal BBQs for hosting those memorable gatherings with family and friends.
The master suite, with ensuite bathroom, opens onto its own sunny tiled deck, perfect for a quiet morning coffee. Three further double bedrooms are serviced by the central family bathroom with a luxuriously deep free-standing bathtub.
The home office has its own WC, and a combined butler’s pantry and laundry complete the floorplan.
Quality fixtures and finishes throughout the home exemplify the attention to detail and exacting specifications; wiring and plumbing has been upgraded, while ducted heating and uPVC double glazing ensures year-round comfort. Solar hot water and solar PV panels enhance the home’s energy efficiency. The careful curation of materials throughout the renovation and construction process complement the property’s stunning natural surrounds.
The stylish ancillary dwelling has a flexible floorplan with open plan living and kitchen on the entry level, a double bedroom, bathroom and mezzanine loft. Extensive glazing and exposed oak beams invite the outside in, flooding the home with natural light and exuding a tranquil ambience.
Enveloping the homes are delightful, easy-care, established landscaped gardens, featuring native, herb and cottage plantings. Harvest your own organically grown vegetables from the large, fenced raised vegetable garden beds which are productive and possum and wallaby proof!
A spacious under house garage with workshop, two car ports and plenty of parking in the large driveway increase the home’s amenity.
Offering the best of town and country living, the local park is just a stone’s throw away, and the nature trails of kunanyi/Mount Wellington are on your doorstep for hiking or mountain bike riding, while the welcoming Fern Tree Tavern is a short stroll. Hobart’s CBD is just 15 minutes’ drive away, as are excellent local schools in Sandy Bay and Taroona.
An enviable lifestyle awaits the next owners of this truly exceptional family retreat.
