50 Bellevue Parade, New Town, Tas 7008

Laced in 1905 period features while incorporating a gorgeous modern extension at the rear befitting of the style of this stunning historic home, "Adlington" is surrounded by beautiful fully landscaped and reticulated gardens, creating a private sanctuary for all the family to enjoy. The backyard flows seamlessly off the contemporary open plan living space at the rear, and is on a separate title should you decide to build on it in the future or expand the existing home. The indoor outdoor lifestyle is super convenient for young families or those who want to be able to see children playing in the backyard from the kitchen while preparing lunch or dinner. The backyard is family friendly in every way...sliding door from inside to out and a fully fenced with a Vuly adventure playground, swing and a rope/climbing challenge between two stand-out establised trees...your children will spend more time outdoors than in front of the television...every parents' dream! There's even an outdoor kitchen for entertaining with family and friends where you can relax and take in this very special setting.

The home itself has so many original and very beautiful period features from the moment you walk up the front sandstone steps. Lace on the front verandah, the front door leads you across polished Tasmanian Oak floorboards inside surrounded by high ceilings, fireplaces, ceiling roses, plate rails, fretwork, picture rails and high skirting boards. Large rooms throughout are characteristic of this era with modern touches including mains gas hot water and stove top, the house has been rewired throughout. The layout is flexible with up to five bedrooms if you choose not to use the large front lounge as it is currently being used, plus a study off the main bedroom ensuite which also has access to an underhouse cellar. High, pitched ceilings in the open plan extension add light and spaciousness to this practical living area which adjoins the Blackwood timber kitchen with Ceasarstone benchtops and Ilve appliances.

The rear garden also accommodates a separate studio/workshop, perfect for an artist or even a musician with power and a sink. Separate garage has a convenient remote roller door and a second roller door for drive through access into the backyard if needed. If you want to drive straight to your back door on those not so kind wintery days and nights so you don't get drenched, there is a remote gate and level entry inside from this extra parking space that doubles as a level courtyard, great for kids on bikes.

Virtually nothing to do but add your own personal touches, there is everything to love about this unique and incredibly surprising character property. The location is idyllic...along the road from the New Town Nursery Cafe, across the road from the bike track, the Hockey Centre and a short stroll to Cornelian Bay playground, The Boathouse Restaurant and local walking tracks. New Town Shopping Plaza and an array of local private and public schools are all within easy commuting and some, within walking distance. Incredibly convenient - all less than 8 minutes drive to the city and less to North Hobart.
