Commanding attention as a bold, impressive example of Post-War era architecture, nestled within verdant surrounds with unrivalled views of kunanyi/Mount Wellington sits an historic homestead in South Hobart, fitted with every modern convenience.
Originally constructed in 1948 by renowned architect Harry Hope, of the prestigious JAWS Architects which remains one of Hobart's most celebrated architectural practice, the home was built for Alfred Gough, a yachtsman, and founder of National Pies. Extensive renovations in 2019 carefully retained Tasmanian heritage while implementing contemporary design necessary for twenty first century living.
Beginning on the entrance level, resurfaced polished Tas Oak flooring sits below sky-high ceilings, with ornate stained-glass windows adorned with new plantation shutters creating an alluring ambiance that showcases both period and modern features.
Stunning South Hobart vistas immediately draw the eye from the light-filled, open-plan living space, which features an art deco ceiling and fireplace, and underfloor heating. There's room for elegant dining within the spacious setting.
The versatile floorplan flows eloquently from the main living hub through to a bespoke, sunny home office, and in turn, to a sumptuous library that could easily become additional accommodation if desired.
The inspired kitchen is luxuriously spacious. The culinary space has enjoyed extensive renovation within the modern rear extension, boasting state-of-the-art Miele and Fisher & Paykel appliances, abundant pantry space, quality, custom joinery, and solid stone benchtops.
The ultimate entertaining home, bi-fold doors open from the dining and living spaces to the Spotted Gum deck, allowing indoors to extend out, overlooking the immaculate, easy-care gardens while capturing the Northern sun.
A timber staircase leads upstairs, where comfortable accommodation awaits. Three generous bedrooms each contain built-in wardrobes, new woollen carpets, and plenty of natural light. Glorious views alternate between the iconic, leafy streetscape and the serene South Hobart bushland, and Cascades, to the top of the mountain.
A nod to the home's first owner's maritime past, circular stained-glass windows line the hallway leading to the master bedroom. A second, custom-built home office sits at the top of the home, and extends to a large, sun-drenched rooftop terrace, where the incredible outlooks are best enjoyed.
Two luxurious bathrooms service the home, one on each level, both enjoying underfloor heating. Upstairs, there's a shower, bath, vanity, a toilet, and lovely skylight within the stylish setting. The lower-level bathroom also contains a shower, along with a vanity, and a toilet.
The secure garage provides housing for multiple vehicles, with additional space for storage. The garage also provides level and sheltered car-to-door access, opening into the kitchen via the well-placed laundry.
Outside, the abundant gardens offer fresh produce with a vast array of vegetables, citrus, berries, fruits, and herbs. Landscaped box hedges, blooming florals, and age-old trees line the low-maintenance lawns and boundaries, with a central water feature adding to the tranquillity of a rare city fringe garden oasis.
The windows throughout the renovated lower level, and the street-facing windows upstairs, are double-glazed, and each room is heated by hydronic gas panels. There are LED lights across both storeys, and the home has been re-wired, largely re-plumbed, and re-roofed with Colorbond steel.
Perfectly positioned at the desirable high-end of Davey Street, this regal home offers a peaceful lifestyle within minutes of the South Hobart village and CBD while providing spacious, family living from an impeccably renovated, historic setting.
