42 Raymont Terrace, Mount Stuart TAS 7000, Australia
Substantial Mid Century Residence in Botanic Surrounds
An impressive property comes to market and what a rare opportunity presents to secure an exceptional property in terms of improvements and capital value, enhanced by an extensive 1755 m2 fully landscaped garden. Raymont Terrace is situated on the cusp of the city fringe localities of North and West Hobart as well as New Town and Lenah Valley.
Ideally positioned to capture stunning views of both the Derwent River towards Rose and Storm Bays in addition to lovely Mount Wellington vistas at the rear of the property. The floors and ceilings are insulated with the orientation north facing, ensuring maximum sunshine. Newly installed energy efficient German Unilux triple glazing throughout is top quality as is the hydronic central heating on a Stiebel-eltron heat pump. Solar panels (10kw) on the roof are battery ready. A reticulated watering system and 4 slim line water tanks complete an impressive list of improvements for this property.
The interiors present beautifully, generously proportioned… gleaming polished timber floors, big picture windows with plantation shutters and an elegant hallway leads to an expansive living room and the bedroom wing, designed to be quiet spaces and independent of the living areas. The floor plan offers versatility with up to 5 bedrooms… a separate sunroom and a two room studio downstairs allows for a myriad of uses if working from home or indulging oneself perhaps with a private dedicated space for artistic pursuits separate from the main household.
Fully renovated throughout including European appliances for the kitchen, including a Siemens induction cooktop and double oven with custom made joinery in charcoal hues which includes an oversized bench top appliance cupboard and pantry… cleverly concealed for a streamlined minimalist look. A nice outlook to the garden, the delightful river vistas and being adjacent to the superb living room with a wood heater for ambience makes the hub of the house hugely appealing.
New bathrooms, both include Japanese style bidet toilets with a bathtub in the family bathroom. A fabulous functional laundry with loads of space and storage overlooks the garden. Easy access to the outdoors connects the house and garden seamlessly. The plantings are extensive with a botanical garden like landscape. Accent plants include heritage roses, hellebores, miniature cyclamen and spring bulbs.
Two ponds attract a vast array of birdlife and frogs with little Blue Wrens frequenting the garden at the rear. Brick paving and a built in barbecue area is terraced, perfect for entertaining alfresco. Pretty seasonal plantings enjoy dappled sunlight. Mature trees are a feature of the property with fruit and citrus trees providing the bones of a kitchen garden. Useful infrastructure includes newly a constructed glass house and fruit cage as well as a double garage and additional secure storage sheds/workshop.
The entire property is securely fenced on the perimeter and in ‘garden rooms’ for wallaby proofing! An electronic driveway gate provides additional security for children and pets.
A fine selection of schools is in the vicinity including Friends and Mount Stuart Primary. Knocklofty Reserve is nearby and a wonderful area for a range of leisure activities. North Hobart’s popular cafe and retail precinct is also in close proximity.
Number 42-44 is a very special property with massive potential to add even further capital value. Properties of this calibre do not come to the open market often so be decisive and grasp this opportunity to make an astute investment.
