Cooking will be a pleasure in the kitchen with sweeping Tasmanian celery-top pine benchtops and cupboards, modern stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop and a breakfast bar. From here, you can overlook the garden or dining room which features a split system air-conditioning, exposed wood beams and direct access to the deck.

Open fireplaces have been retained in three rooms and there's also an efficient wood heater. A central bathroom services the upper level while the lower level bathroom is complete with a full size sauna. The ground-level bedroom also boasts a kitchenette and could be used as guest accommodation.

Outside, there's a 3 x 2.6-metre detached studio, a wood store, 7 x 3.5-metre powered carport with a high roofline, a stunning vine-covered alfresco dining area with pizza oven and an attached cellar/larder. Additional features include a 3kW solar array, NBN fibre to the home, heat pump, a thermostatic electric wall heater and solar hot water increase the sense of self sufficiency that this house radiates.

However, with so many of us currently cooped up at home, it is the beautifully landscaped gardens that will excite the homebuyer looking for a welcome distraction coupled with increased opportunity to pursue all things horticultural. Rarely has a more suitable property been offered for sale.

The productive zone in the garden is completely organic and equipped with three solid brick raised vegetable gardens, each 4.3 x 1.3 metres, providing ample space for the full range of seasonal vegetable crops on rotation throughout the year.

Additional beds house perennial crops including rhubarb, asparagus, artichoke and horseradish along with a wide range of fresh herbs including several varieties of mint, thyme, rosemary, oregano, parsley, basil, coriander and bay leaf.

Well established fruit trees include grafted apricots, apples, lemons, nectarine, pear, various small fruits and a gorgeous fig tree. There is also an enormous productive walnut tree in the centre of the garden overlooking a charming solar powered birdbath by local artist Folko Cooper.

Finally, the top section of the garden has been planted with local West Hobart native trees and shrubs which have attracted a large number of native birds, including pairs of nesting rosellas that regularly make use of bird boxes placed high in the gum trees.

You will love living and working at this prestigious location just moments from the North Hobart restaurant strip and within walking or cycling distance to the CBD. Shops, schools and services are nearby and Newdegate Street itself has recently been upgraded retaining the original sandstone curbing to maintain the character of this heritage neighborhood.
