‘RaRita’ circa 1910 family retreat

'RaRita' circa 1910 is a generously proportioned Edwardian residence built in the Queen Anne Style and displaying magnificent period features throughout. Situated on a verdant allotment of 2,147sqm at the top of Swanston Street Hill with stunning views of kunanyi/Mt Wellington and the River Derwent, RaRita has been held in the same family for more than 60 years, making this a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial holding in a sought-after city fringe suburb close to all amenities.
A flexible floorplan accommodates multiple spacious reception rooms with a living room, formal dining room, open plan kitchen with casual dining, sitting room and sun porch, offering space for both larger gatherings and quieter spaces to retreat for relaxation.
The master suite has a dressing room adjacent, and three further bedrooms are serviced by two family bathrooms situated across the upper and lower levels. The laundry and workshop complete the floorplan.
Classic original features including the Mahogany staircase, high ceilings, timber flooring, ornate cornices and ceiling roses, fireplaces and picture rails all enhance the character and charm of the home. Contemporary additions including mains gas fireplaces, solar hot water, reverse cycle air conditioning, upgraded wiring and plumbing, and a BOSE sound system adds modern comfort and amenity.
Privately nestled behind remote controlled automatic gates, picturesque established grounds feature an orchard of mature trees and ornamental rose gardens. Fully fenced and secure, there is ample space for children and pets to safely play. Sheltered verandahs encircling the home also provide a tranquil vantage point from which to admire the gardens and ever-changing mountain views beyond.
Within easy reach of excellent schools, grocers, parks, shopping centres and cafes, everything a family could want or need is right on the doorstep, and Hobart's CBD less than ten minutes' drive.
Impressive in every way and offering the luxury of peace, privacy and space in a coveted urban setting, this is an exceptional opportunity to acquire an incredible piece of Tasmania's history and become the next custodian of a beautiful heritage family home.
