39 Risdon Rd, New Town is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom House with 3 parking spaces and was built in 1959. The property has a land size of 556m2 and floor size of 84m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in December 2022.
Nestled behind attractive greenery, this 2 bedroom solid brick home is a classic example of 1950s architecture. Situated close to the heart of New Town, it is in an ideal location, having easy access to Hobart's CBD, the northern suburbs, and the eastern shore.
Over the decades, the home has been modernised but has always kept the integrity of that well-built post World War 2 construction. On entering the house, open wooden shelving defines the foyer, dividing it from the spacious living, dining and kitchen area. The exposed timber of the shelves, along with the architraves, doors and wide wooden floorboards is not only true to its post war design but also conveys a more modern 'skandi' style. Two double bedrooms and a stylish modern bathroom are accessed from a hallway off the foyer giving privacy from the main section of the home. With its northerly aspect, the living area captures the morning sun and retains it for the remainder of the day, while the closed-in veranda along the front has been cleverly converted into a conservatory. The living area has been remodeled over time with walls removed to create a contemporary open space: the modern kitchen, with its wooden benchtops, white cupboards and dark splashbacks and facias fitting in perfectly, along with the cleverly concealed laundry nook. Double French doors open onto an expansive wooden deck providing a secluded outdoor living area surrounded by an easily maintained, attractive garden: an ideal space for morning coffees, lunch and evening barbecues. The back garden is secure with gates on either side of the house, while the front garden accommodates up to 3 off-street parking car spaces.
