5 Kendrick Court, Dynnyrne

Situated on a large, gently sloping block in Dynnyrne with views to the Derwent River, this rambling early 20th Century home has seen a variety of purposes over the years from the original gentleman's residence to a multi-residential house. The current owners acquired the property twenty-seven years ago and have lovingly restored it to a four-bedroom, three-bathroom family residence, along with an independent, spacious two-bedroom adjoining apartment. Having separate entrances to the house and the apartment from both front and rear, the property is open to a variety of uses: a multi-generational residence for a family with grandparents, teenagers, or young adults, or as a rental proposition, STCA.

Built of solid brick, the house offers a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern practical living. It maintains many delightful Federation Queen Anne features from the octagonal corner turret and open timber verandah to the original doors and wooden fretwork adorning the interior. Modern bathrooms have been added, two being en-suite, and both kitchens have been tastefully refurbished. The main home has two large, separate living areas, both facing the river, one with a delightful semi-hexagonal, box-seated window space, the other adjoining the kitchen. A closed-in extension of the verandah catches the afternoon sun making an ideal sunroom.

The apartment is equally as charming with a large primary bedroom, a second double bedroom, a bathroom and a semi-open plan kitchen/living/dining room. A timber deck off the kitchen offers an ideal space for alfresco living and gives direct access to the beautifully maintained garden beyond. Secure workshops and storage spaces have been developed beneath both the apartment and the main house, while at the rear of the property is ample parking for four cars.
Established gardens surround the home with paths meandering past mature shady trees, around low hedged flower gardens and into defined spaces such as the charming, paved rose arbour. Towards the rear of the property are a variety of productive fruit trees, vegetable and herb gardens, all adding to the aesthetic appeal of the property.

Apart from its elegance and historical significance, the location is also of prime importance. With river views and situated within walking distance of Sandy Bay shopping precinct, Hobart's CBD, schools and UTAS, this home with its adjacent apartment offers a practical, enviable living experience in a much sought-after area.
