THE HOUSE & LOCATION:
This spacious and stunning 4-bedroom late 1930’s light filled house is nestled in South Hobart with views of the city, the river and the mountain. A sensitive and low waste renovation has retained all of the character of the original house, including furniture built by the original owner, and melded it with modern luxury. The house is on a large block where you can enjoy the outdoor amenities or watch the native wildlife (birds, pademelons) from one of the two living areas. Built for the Chief Engineer of the Cascade Brewery and his family, it is named after him; “Bowen Toft House”.
The house is situated just a 7-minute e-scooter ride from the Hobart CBD or a 4-minute car ride. There is also a bus service along Cascade Road. It is perfect for a group or family exploring Southern Tasmania or for those wanting to relax in a quiet neighbourhood.
The house is close to the dining and shopping amenities of South Hobart. Otherwise, Hobart CBD, Salamanca, North Hobart and Sandy Bay beach are all only a short drive away. Additionally, the house is only a short walk from the Cascade historical site, restaurant and 200-year-old beer factory. With all of this within close vicinity, Bowen Toft House is the perfect place to base yourself.
ACCOMMODATION:
The house has 4 bedrooms - a queen size master bedroom with an ensuite, a similar queen bedroom close to the second bathroom, a twin bedroom and an office with a single bed. There are 2.5 bathrooms in all, one with a bath, an ensuite and a powder room. All bathrooms have been set up with “Hollywood lights” to make grooming easier.
There are two reception rooms, both with views towards Hobart. The kitchen retains many original elements and has a mud room adjoined.
There is also a pillow menu provided if you want a particular pillow.

A dedicated office and high-speed fibre to the home NBN internet, suitable for those needing to work whilst on vacation.
