MID-CENTURY MARVEL
IT has been about 60 years since this impeccably positioned property has been offered to market.
And it takes just one look to see why its owners would want to hold it close.
It’s a true Hobart real estate rarity to find an original ‘60s architect designed charmer like this one set in a waterfront position.
On a large lot, 1733sq m of land, the home is nestled by the southern shores of beautiful Berriedale Bay.
For those that know the area, Tassie’s playful subterranean museum Mona will quickly spring to mind. And with good reason as it is set just across the water — probably a few minutes away if paddling to Faro’s front door by boat or kayak.
From the home’s lounge, the vast glazing perfectly frames the view of the bay with its abundant birdlife, and of Little Frying Pan Island, the River Derwent and the world-class museum.
The three-bedroom 167sq m house was designed by a lauded local architect and pioneer in her field Edith Emery.
The home is described as a fine example of mid-century modernist architecture — warm and inviting.
With its absolute water frontage and private jetty, No.7 Strathaven Drive has so much to offer.
The expertly orientated house takes in a sunny, northerly aspect across its single level floorplan.
Perfect for a family lifestyle, there are three double-sized bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes.
A central bathroom and two separate powder rooms service the sleeping quarters of the house.
In the home’s living areas there is abundant light and a spacious, open feel through the kitchen, living and dining rooms.
Glass doors open to an undercover patio to create seamless indoor/outdoor living.
Around every corner there is a hint of the home’s era to be discovered including timber accents and gently curved feature walls that enhance the ambience of the home.
Outside, verdant gardens and a built-in sandstone barbecue provides outdoor entertaining and relaxation options.
With its private and tranquil location, impressive design and enormous potential, No.7 is bound to be a hit with buyers.
It represents one of those once in a lifetime opportunities to acquire a quality home on the waterfront and to become the next custodian of a piece of Hobart’s history.
