27 Lucas Street, Kingston, TAS 7050

With a commanding street presence this beautifully presented four bedroom, two bathroom property offers its new homeowner an attractive, flexible and functional interior layout. From the expansive driveway you ascend some steps to the elevated "L" shaped verandah and your eyes are immediately drawn to the amazing panorama laid out before you. With sweeping views to kunanyi / Mt Wellington it's hard to believe you are almost in the heart of suburban Kingston. This feeling is even more pronounced once you enter the home. The open-plan living area makes the most of the panorama with both the lounge and dining areas enjoying the views of the mountain. The home's aspect and elevation, combined with some clever screening enhances the sense of privacy and isolation. Two sliding glass doors lead out onto the verandah from the living area, providing the perfect entertaining or outdoor dining spot. Peeling your eyes away from the view for a moment will allow you to enjoy the beautifully fitted craftsman built kitchen and gorgeous flooring. The dark colours of the cabinetry and splash-back emphasised by the lighter shade of the bench tops gives a really pleasing contrast to the lighter tones of the living area. The kitchen is fitted with quality appliances including a dishwasher, rangehood, cooktop and separate oven, and an integrated breakfast bar is perfect for casual meals. An adjacent dining area is suitable for larger dining suites. Continuing on with the same level of custom cabinetry is a built-in storage unit adjacent to the front door; the perfect spot for shoes and outdoorsy incidentals. The living area is both heated and cooled by a large reverse cycle air conditioner (heat pump). From the kitchen a doorway opens up to a hallway leading to the bedrooms. Immediately on the right hand side of the hallway is a masterfully executed laundry featuring the same subdued cabinetry as the kitchen, contrasting beautifully against the timber bench top, flooring and joinery. The laundry also has plenty of built-in storage. Almost opposite the laundry is the family bathroom, once again featuring attractive cabinetry and complementary surfaces. The bathroom has a very practical layout being divided into three separate areas. The first houses an attractive double bowl vanity, the second is an enclosed area fitted with a bath and a double shower, and the toilet is accommodated in the third lockable area. Heading further along the hallway leads to the three bedrooms, all with built-in storage and the largest having a spacious walk-in robe as well as an alcove suitable for a desk. The most surprising and pleasing aspect of the three bedrooms is that they all feature sliding glass doors opening on to the verandah. The practical benefits of this feature are many, including giving the home a lovely open access when entertaining family and friends or simply providing an increased airiness to the property during warmer months. All three bedrooms are fitted with ceiling fans as well as "smart" electric panel heaters. Returning to the main living area, a staircase descends to the lower level. This is a fabulous space featuring another living room as well as a separate fourth bedroom with built-in storage and an en-suite bathroom. The en-suite has a toilet, shower and vanity. This ground floor area has its own separate access making it perfect either as the master bedroom or perhaps a suite for older family members or visiting guests. A workshop and storage space is located in the undercroft of the home and is accessed through a separate personnel door. The standout part of the garden is definitely the ground floor terrace which provides an all year round play or entertaining space. Low impact synthetic turf provides a sensible, soft and environmentally practical surface whilst attractive timber screening enhances the sense of privacy and perfectly frames the mountain views. Lucas Street is located in an established part of Kingston and is centrally positioned to have convenient access to all that Kingston has to offer including the three major shopping centres featuring everything from major supermarkets through to specialty shops, health and medical services, as well as a full range of other services and amenities. The Kingborough Municipality continues to grow at a consistent rate with its natural attractions of woodland, beaches and seaside attractions providing an enviable lifestyle. Nearby is a wide range of public and private schools, places of worship, sporting facilities, a fabulous golf course, as well as public transport servicing the local area and destinations further south and the Hobart CBD, which is only a 20 minute commute.
