Hobart city.

It starts at the front gate, where a view of the facade speaks to a time gone by, and where a riot of colour in the garden meets the beauty of iron lattice work that frames the home’s entrance.

Step inside and there is so much to discover. From the terrific timber staircase to the picture-perfect fireplaces and mantels to the soaring ceilings that stretch up some 12 or 13-feet high.

Both rooms at the front of the house make a statement, one an ideal place for formal dinner parties, while the other is a sophisticated place to relax.

Throughout the ground floor there is a large timber kitchen with European appliances, more living rooms, a laundry, and a second, more casual dining space positioned at the end of the entry hall.
