MOUNT STUART
3 STRATHERN STREET
THE chance to buy a home in desirable Strathern Street is one that requires immediate action.
How often do they come along? Almost never.
For the past three years, there was only one sale per year in this tightly held Mount Stuart street, per realestate.com.au.
With its outstanding street appeal that harks back to the 1920s, No. 3 Strathern Street is a fine example of what people love about this corner of Hobart.
Space and light are maximised by classic high ceilings.
The property is defined by its impressive proportions, elegant style and the level of privacy that is on offer here.
At the front, well-manicured gardens lead into the inviting home.
Set across two levels, the entry level accommodates multiple light-filled and spacious living rooms, ensuring ample space for a growing family.
Off a hallway there are a handful of bedrooms — the home has five in total — and another living room.
Having so many bedrooms provides flexibility for a property owner should they require this many sleeping quarters or prefer to use the space as extra living rooms.
Any of the ground floor bedrooms could be transformed into a library, home office, children’s playroom or a home theatre as desired.
The centrally located bathroom is set just beyond the entry hall, and features a tub and a separate shower.
The home’s large living zone has got it all. There is a family room, dining room and kitchen with access to a courtyard and a large sun deck – ideal for entertainers or a family lifestyle.
In the well-equipped kitchen there are quality appliances, heaps of meal preparation space, timber cupboards and a gas cooktop.
The appealing sun-drenched deck creates that highly desired indooroutdoor flow and a place to relax among the large low maintenance garden.
The garden has a garden shed, a cubby house and the current owner has a spot to shoot some hoops too.
The upper level is home to the master bedroom with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, along with a second bedroom with views over Hobart city.
A gas heater and two Daikin heat pumps ensure the property is warm throughout the cooler months.
Separate to the main house there is a 58 sqm rumpus room or entertainment area.
This room provides further flexibility in the floorplan to cater for the requirements for growing kids, parents or guests.
Highly regarded schools are also at this property’s doorstep.
