With bushland reserve on the rear boundary, this three bedroom, two bathroom home designed by Hobart architect Philip Stary, is a private haven in the popular suburb of Mount Nelson. Built over two levels, the house is set back on the block allowing for privacy from the street and a low maintenance established front garden with ample off-street parking for at least 3 cars, whilst behind the home is a large paved entertaining area landscaped into the gentle slope. Built in 2000, the home, with its earthy tones, nestles comfortably into its surroundings.

Entering on the lower level, a wide main hallway with solid Jarrah polished floorboards leads to the carpeted stairwell. The accommodation on this level consists of two double bedrooms, a stylish bathroom with marble tiles and quality fittings, and a cleverly concealed European laundry; there is also direct access to the main hallway from the garage, currently being used as a workshop, but could easily be converted to further living or accommodation spaces. On the upper level is the master bedroom with a spacious walk-in wardrobe and another stylish, marble tiled ensuite bathroom. The open plan living/dining area and well-designed kitchen, the latter also with Jarrah floorboards plus generous and innovative storage and separate pantry, complete the accommodation on this level. The kitchen/living area opens onto an expansive deck and being north orientated, not only captures the sun all day but has delightful views through the trees to the Derwent River and to the west, to kunanyi Mt Wellington. A doorway from the landing in the stairwell gives access to the sunny backyard and paved, entertaining/barbecue area featuring a Folko Kooper water fountain with bronze birds.

Mt Nelson is one of Hobart's most popular bushland suburbs with its winding walking tracks and natural environment, while being a mere 8 minutes' drive from the Hobart CBD and 7 minutes from the Sandy Bay Shopping precinct. There is also a local grocery shop, highly regarded primary school and Hobart College (Years 11 and 12), all well within a kilometre radius of 4 Brinsmead Rd, whilst private schools, UTAS Sandy Bay campus and a gourmet grocer and doctors' surgery are only 7 minutes down the road. A regular bus service is also available on Nelson Road, a mere 200 metre walk from the property.
