178C Strickland Avenue

Location: Strickland Avenue, before Marlyn Road. Block size: 628 sq.m. Set high, surrounded by delightful landscaped native gardens, this quiet sunny single-storey house above the Hobart Rivulet is close to bush trails yet only a few minutes from the amenities of South Hobart village. A simple flowing floorplan maximises the use of available space, resulting in a functional, easy-living design. The spacious kitchen-diner (21.8m2), giving access to the secluded side deck, is the hub of the house. Perfect for enthusiastic cooks, the carefully-planned kitchen has unusually generous storage and work spaces, with a long wide benchtop which doubles as a breakfast bar. The comfortable, light-filled living room (15.4m2), with its views over tree-tops from windows on two sides, invites relaxation throughout the day. The main bedroom (13.0m2), enjoying gentle morning sun, has a built-in wardrobe and direct access to the dual-entry bathroom. A smaller second bedroom (8.1m2, currently used as a study) is a spacious single with ample room to install storage. The third bedroom (9.6m2) is another double, also with built-in wardrobe. The bright bathroom has a bathtub, shower and built-in vanity unit, while the toilet is separate. The adjacent laundry, next to the rear entrance, also incorporates two tall linen cupboards. (total area 12.8m2) With the living room, kitchen and dining room facing north-west, these spaces are flooded with sun in winter, when the angle is low, but in summer, with the sun overhead, they remain pleasantly cool. There are two reverse-cycle heat pumps, one at either end of the house, providing flexibility and temperature control all year round. A new insulated roof, underfloor insulation, white-painted timber venetian blinds throughout and insulated curtains on the two large windows all add to the dwelling's comfort and thermal efficiency. There are two car spaces (a hardstand off the driveway), a garden shed and also a bike shed. A wide pergola over the back door not only protects the rear entrance to the house but also gives all-weather access to the shed and a convenient space to dry some laundry in wet weather. The low-maintenance gardens (back area fully fenced) have been thoughtfully planted so that there is flowering throughout the year; a paved area at the rear offers a play space, a work space for do-it-yourselfers or an opportunity for keen gardeners to install raised vegetable beds.
