In just mere steps a homeowner can find themselves on a quiet, beautiful beach, in a cafe or at a playground with their children. It is a blissful way of life.

At No.12 Elma Road, house hunters will discover a property where old world charm meets modern living.

Harrison Agent Hobart prestige property specialist Pam Corkhill said there was so much to adore in this lovely home set in one of Hobart’s most coveted destinations.

“It is such a pretty home,” she said. “Nutgrove is lovely and highly desirable neighbourhood.

Built from solid brick, No.12 Elma dates back to the 1930s and is a home where charm and character abounds.

Having retained many traditional features, there is something to discover around every turn including ornate cornices and ceiling roses, leadlight windows, picture rails and small-paned French doors.

Mrs Corkhill said the home had been sensitively extended and modernised to cater for 21st Century living.

At present it accommodates three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an extensive kitchen, family room and dining area, she said.

Entry is via an attractive front porch into a hall with a bedroom to the left and right.

The bathroom is also set toward the front of the home with the luxury of a tub to sink into and relax.

Living spaces are peppered throughout the house including a separate living room and outside entertainment areas.

A second bathroom with a shower and vanity is located at the rear, an ensuite for the largest bedroom.

The residence has a fresh neutral palette throughout.

This family-sized home is set on a level block with grounds that have been beautifully maintained with traditional plantings including camellias, roses and box hedges to create a classic, ordered
