Current owners James and Sarah, who are ready to move on to their next venture, say they have loved the lifestyle the residence has offered.
“Our mornings usually start with a walk across the road to the beach with the dog, watching the yachts at the club, then a short stroll to our favourite coffee shop, Six Russell,’’ Sarah said.
“It’s a slow, lovely way to start the day. Location is everything, and being the first beach from town means you’re so close to the action, but it feels a world away.
“It’s a very special house. The high ceilings and original floorboards give it so much character, and the modern touches sit in beautifully alongside them.
“My favourite spot is the study with mountain and water views in one room.
“It makes it very tricky to get any work done. It’s been a joy to look after this house and it’s a real piece of Hobart history.
“Whoever takes it on is becoming its next custodian. We hope they love it as much as we have.’’

The interior is an eye-catcher, flowing over two levels and consisting of three separate living spaces. The kitchen should tick the boxes of those looking to test their culinary skills. It also provides a relaxed
area for casual dining for a morning
coffee or tea with natural light streaming through.
The home enjoys a nice mix of family living and entertaining, four good-sized bedrooms providing the right balance of flexibility for family and guests.
Bathrooms are sited across both levels, complemented by a separate laundry and ample storage throughout.

The upstairs balcony provides a fantastic view and great vantage point to take in the scenery across the water.
Green thumbs also should be impressed by what is on offer outside the home – the garden methodically landscaped with established greenery to admire. Sheltered entertaining areas provide a calming and peaceful environment setting.
Lifestyle is a key component to the residence’s appeal – a waterfront reserve, marina and playground situated directly across the road.
Recreational facilities are close at hand – beach, shops, schools, cafes and restaurants all at your beckoning.
