Situated at the northern end of Hobart’s historic Glebe, this four bedroom, two bathroom home has panoramic views. They extend from the backdrop of kunanyi/Mt Wellington and its foothill suburbs in the west, to North Hobart and the city centre in the foreground, past the slopes of Mt Nelson and down the Derwent River to Betsy Island and the South Arm Peninsula in the southeast.

Built in the middle of the 20th Century, this solid brick house has been totally renovated to suit contemporary living. At entrance level are two large double bedrooms, a stylish, modern bathroom with quality fittings, and a spacious open plan living/dining/kitchen space. The views from this area are stunning and are further enhanced through the bi-fold doors onto the extensive western-facing deck. Polished boards of Tasmanian oak combined with a neutral palette on the ceilings and walls gives a warm atmosphere throughout the upper level and continues down the stairs to the carpeted level below. Here can be found two more spacious double bedrooms, another stylish bathroom, a second kitchen space, and a large living room with an open fireplace and study nook. This property is ideal as a family home with its four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two separate living areas; however, with a minor modification, having exterior entrances for both the upper and lower levels, it could easily be converted into two separate apartments. The original garage has been converted to a laundry and recreation space, and being part of the main building, adds to the flexible floorplan.

The Glebe is the only residential area on the Queens Domain and is in an ideal location: it is within walking distance of the popular restaurants, cafés and shops of North Hobart, the central business area of the city, and the attractions of the Hobart waterfront. It also has direct access to the many recreational facilities on the Domain including the many walking and cycling tracks, sporting facilities such as the Domain Tennis Centre, the Hobart Aquatic Centre, the Domain Athletic Centre and the TCA, the original home of Tasmanian cricket, along with the beautifully landscaped Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. The location of this property is merely one of its assets: it is a solid brick, stylishly renovated four bedroom contemporary home suitable for a family, for multigenerational living or with the potential to be divided into two separate two bedroom apartments. It is definitely a property worth considering.
