Set within one of West Hobart's most tightly held and highly sought-after pockets, Mayvilla presents a wonderful opportunity to secure a character home that combines timeless charm, modern comfort and an exceptional inner-city lifestyle.
Dating from the 1890s, the home has been thoughtfully enhanced over the years, with an extension approximately five years ago complementing the original cottage beautifully. From the moment you step inside, there is an immediate sense of warmth and character, with Tasmania Oak flooring, generous proportions and an abundance of beautifully crafted period detail. An ornate, hand-crafted fire surround, beautiful period staircase and extensive exotic timber detailing are among the features that showcase the craftsmanship and character of the home's era.
The accommodation comprises four bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing excellent flexibility for families, guests or those simply looking for additional space. The main living areas are particularly impressive, taking full advantage of the home's elevated position and showcasing exceptional views across Hobart, the River Derwent and beyond.
The kitchen and living spaces are well suited to both everyday living and entertaining, with a number of practical improvements adding to the home's appeal. These include a Daikin ducted super inverter heat pump system, gas hot water and gas cooktop, roof and floor insulation, 13 solar panels with a 5.6kW system, updated wiring and a newer roof. A skylight above the staircase also brings an abundance of natural light through the upper level.
The kitchen has been equipped with the Schweigen 90cm Silent Undermount Rangehood, InSinkErator waste food disposer, Miele oven and LG dishwasher for 15 sets, smooth closing drawers, and a large pantry.
Outdoor living is another genuine highlight. A selection of entertaining areas includes a ground-level BBQ and entertaining space, rear balcony and an expansive upstairs entertaining area, where the spectacular city and water views can truly be appreciated. With overhead heating, this space can be enjoyed throughout the cooler months and provides an exceptional setting for entertaining family and friends.
The established gardens are thoughtfully maintained and offer a lovely selection of productive fruit trees, including nectarine, apricot, plum and lemon, while remaining relatively low maintenance.
A large garage and workshop, accessed via a roller door, provides excellent vehicle accommodation, laundry, storage and workspace. Additional off-street parking further enhances the practicality of the property.
Perhaps the greatest appeal of Mayvilla is the lifestyle it offers. The home is ideally positioned within easy 10 minutes walking distance of Hobart's CBD, 15 minutes’ walk from Salamanca and the waterfront, while West Hobart's much-loved cafés, restaurants, schools, parks and everyday amenities are all close at hand.
Combining the character and craftsmanship of its 1890s origins with thoughtful modern improvements, outstanding entertaining spaces and an exceptional city and water outlook, Mayvilla represents a wonderful opportunity to enjoy one of Hobart's most desirable inner-city locations.
