Retro Haven with River Views

Welcome to this beautifully unique four-bedroom Taroona home, filled with retro charm, warm natural light and sweeping views across the River Derwent. Enjoy spacious open-plan living, a cosy wood heater, a modern kitchen and an incredible upstairs sunroom leading to a private rooftop deck soaked in all-day sunshine. Perfect for families or groups seeking comfort, style and a truly memorable Hobart escape.

Set across two inviting levels, this four-bedroom home blends retro warmth with modern comfort. The open-plan living and dining area is bright, welcoming and warmed by a large Daikin heat pump, with the option to enjoy the ambience of the wood heater using the supplied kindling, firelighters and firewood. A separate, fully equipped kitchen includes an induction cooktop, oven, air fryer, dishwasher and everything you need for relaxed meals at home.

Three of the bedrooms feature large, comfortable beds, while the fourth includes bunk beds ideal for kids or extra guests. The spacious bathroom includes a walk-in shower with a clean, modern finish. The laundry includes a washer, dryer, iron and vacuum, with simple instructions for use.

Upstairs is the true hero of the home — a stunning sunroom framed by glass, with a large dining table, ceiling fan and panoramic views over the River Derwent. Step out to the private rooftop deck, complete with outdoor seating and all-day sun, making it the perfect place for breakfast, sunset drinks or a peaceful read in the warmth of the afternoon light.

With a peaceful location, leafy outlooks and plenty of space to unwind, this Taroona property offers a memorable base for exploring Hobart, relaxing with the family or simply soaking up the beauty of the Derwent.
