Magically modernised

THIS versatile house is just a stone’s throw away from the University of Tasmania as well as all the boutique shops, restaurants and cafes that Sandy Bay has to offer.

Arecent renovation and extension has given the house a more contemporary edge.

Abeautiful polished timber deck at the rear of the property provides ample room to soak up the sun or enjoy relaxed outdoor entertaining.

Asecond enclosed outdoor area is hidden away on the other side of the low-maintenance garden, complete with seating and a white pebble floor.

Abullnose veranda at the front of the house is the ideal spot to watch the world go by.

Inside, the flexible floor plan means there are myriad possible living combinations across the three spacious bedrooms.

Twobedrooms are off the hallway in the main section of the house.

Athird bedroom is off the garage. With itsown bathroom and french door entry, this room could be used as a home office, guest bedroom or perhaps for one of the kids looking for some independence.

The large open-plan living area with skylight has room for dining, relaxing and study.

The modern kitchen comes with quality Bosch appliances. Asecond living area takes in the sun all day.

Aneutral palette blends seamlessly with the intact original features.

The property is situated on a premium corner block.

This is an immensely comfortable home you can move straight into, but which also has scope to add further value, says consultant Penny Trewin.
