BONNET HILL
8-10 TARONGA ROAD
AMONG the larger residential titles at Bonnet Hill is this 2.1ha property with a sealed private access leading to a secluded home.
Held by the present owner since 2006, this three-or-more bedroom property reveals a mostly fenced sanctuary-like setting, enjoying the music of native birdlife in the morning sunshine amid a selection of natural bush and gently sloping grounds.
A defining highlight of this property is an enchanting and securely fenced running-water feature behind the residence, framed in a stone-paved courtyard, recovered from a former convict-excavated small quarry dating back to the probation station era.
Within this magical setting is a modern brick residence of three bedrooms and three bathrooms. With minor alterations it could easily become five bedrooms.
The home was designed to blend with the surroundings and provide loads of natural light through panoramic windows and skylights.
It features slate and terracotta tile floors, high-end kitchen and bathroom upgrades, Daikin airconditioning and quality European appliances. It is beautifully decorated and furnished with an eclectic selection of artistic and personal tastes.
A two-car lock-up garage and security system throughout will ensure the safekeeping of the premises, tools and equipment.
Including accommodation downstairs, the expansive 364sqm floor plan incorporates a parents’ retreat upstairs. Access is via a glass atrium-encased staircase where the master bedroom includes an ensuite, private lounge and study or a second bedroom, and a secluded private deck overlooking the grounds — perfect for relaxing with a favourite book.
A second lounge downstairs is warmed by b a cosy wood combustion heater. There T is also a den or a library.
The kitchen and dining areas are open-plan spaces, easily catering to larger group events and opening to a choice of outdoor areas in front of and behind the h home — ideal for a variety of w weather conditions.
Scarcely 40 titles make up the Taronga Road precinct of historic Bonnet Hill overlooking the entrance to the River Derwent.
These mostly generous titles of the Bonnet Hill slopes enjoy all-day sun and a privileged semi-rural setting just 20 minutes by car from the Hobart CBD.
