The current owners fell in love with "Emerywood" a few years ago, and for them, it epitomizes a true Tasmanian lifestyle! Charm, character and history radiates throughout this very special, unforgettable home, nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac overlooking the Derwent River in this exclusive enclave of New Norfolk.
The expansive, gorgeous park-like gardens, the tranquil river views, the open plan flow throughout the living areas to the outdoors, the peaceful setting and the spaces both inside and out, all really "work", especially when entertaining. The owners' attention to detail is extraordinary, ensuring the new caretakers of this unique property can take full advantage of the beautiful setting and home without the need, or desire, to renovate! A new bespoke kitchen has been thoughtfully designed and is complemented by quality appliances, ample storage and stone benchtops, overlooking the large covered entertaining area, which is perfect for year-round relaxation.
Drenched in natural sunlight, the flow from inside to out is seemless and easy in the downstairs living spaces. Reverse cycle electric and wood heating more than keeps you comfortable through the seasons in addition to the sun-drenched rooms and ducted heating/cooling upstairs. The three bedrooms on the upper level, are all spacious, attracting loads of natural lighting and have built in wardrobes. A main bathroom with a stylish claw foot bath in addition to the stunning ensuite complete with a large walk-in shower and double vanity, work beautifully for the needs of a family at "rush" hour! A walk-in robe, or should I say, large dressing room, is every couple's dream, with more than enough room to get ready in the mornings. A third toilet with vanity downstairs off the family room is convenient for guests and a quick visit if you are outside in the gardens.
Quality finishes and fittings, new air-conditioners throughout and laminated bi-fold doors to the Queensland shutters in the stylish, sun-drenched sitting room, the layout of this home is flexible depending on the needs of your family. A surprise basement with internal and external access makes the perfect workshop and/or storage space. Topped off by a craftsman built double carport with backyard vehicular access for your boat, caravan or trailer, this is a home you cannot help but fall in love with more in each changing season.
An easy 30 minute drive to Hobart, this Canadian Bungalow style home was built by the Tasmanian Newsprint Mill for the Mill Manager to reside in. Designed for entertaining, the multiple living spaces are all downstairs with bi-fold doors opening out onto a fabulous patio where you are immediately immersed and captivated by the beautifully manicured gardens, fenced for dogs and children to maximise full enjoyment of all the external space around them, and the fabulous water and garden views! Reticulated for easy, year-round care of the lawn and garden beds, you will be battling to choose where you want to spend your time - there are so many appealing spaces inside and out! Every space is practical and "works" beautifully for everyday living.
Whether you love sitting in the kitchen/family space for those after school chats and snacks; love entertaining in the open plan dining/lounge; are curled up on a chair in the sitting room immersing yourself in a great book or spending time with family and friends outdoors on the patio or under the newly paved UV protected entertaining area enjoying an alfresco meal, while the little and "big" children play a game of cricket or kick a ball on the expansive lawns - there is no shortage of places and spaces for you to create new and lasting memories that will last a lifetime at this very special property, "Emerywood".
