Last Listing description (June 2012)

Style and location
The architecture of the Balaka Street property was influenced by the modernist movement prominent in the late 1950s which focussed on bringing light and open plan living into the home environment. Aspects of the Rose Seidler House can be seen throughout the home. Designed by Hobart Architects Cooper & Vincent 1957, the house was built in 1959.
The current owners have completed extensive renovations which are entirely sympathetic to the original design; it is a seamless transformation. All walls and ceilings have been re-plastered, repainted and insulated. The property has been rewired with 2 phase power, hard wired, has smoke alarms and has been re-plumbed and gutterings renewed.

At the front door the entry area separates bedrooms and bathroom to one side; a small semi-open stairway leads to living, kitchen and dining areas. This area has beautiful views across and down the Derwent River to the city and Mount Wellington. The house has a lovely, light, open and spacious feel to it. The tasteful palette throughout is neutral with quality commercial carpets, Blackbutt floating floors and Amtico floor tiles. The recently retiled kitchen has Tasmanian myrtle cupboards with laminate bench tops and the sparkling white bathroom has a shower, bath and large vanity. There is a separate toilet. The laundry is under the house along with a spacious utility room. The front door and all bedroom and bathroom doors are in figured blackwood and are eye-catching in the way the quality timber has been selected and assembled, custom made by Dan Whiting.
The property has a Jetmaster wood heater fitted into an existing fireplace, an 8kw Daikin reverse cycle air conditioning unit and panel heater downstairs.
The gardens have been completely landscaped with extensive use of heritage sandstone paving. The block is level and the back garden is fully fenced with original ironwork gates. There is undercover parking along with extra off-stree parking.
Houses in this area have essentially retained their style within a 60's style streetscape - a quiet waterside area within 7 minutes of Hobart's CBD and close to all services.
