2 Ratho St, Lenah Valley TAS 7008

This gorgeous 1920's home is nestled in this quiet, intimate cul-de-sac, located on the border of Lenah Valley and New Town. Elevated, level and views rarely go together, but here, you get all these and more! Conveniently close to everything you could need or want including Calvary Hospital, local schools, cafes and shops, and less than 8 minutes drive to the City centre, you will fall in love with the beautiful, private established gardens surrounding "Willena" and its attractive facade. The versatile floorplan makes this home ideal if you have guests or children, allowing easy separation between bedroom and bathroom spaces, and can accommodate up to 4 bedrooms or 3 bedrooms with two living areas plus a sunroom/study as a result of this fluid layout.

Every room is light and homely, retaining some of the classic architectural features of its era, from the picture rails and fireplace surrounds to the high ceilings and bay window. As you walk along the garden path that leads you to the front verandah, you know you have arrived somewhere special as your senses take in the vibrant colours and aromas in the stunning gardens. The main hallway has high ceilings and doorways that invite you into each room. The open plan living area is functional and spacious, with big windows allowing the northerly sun to flood in through the classic bay window and reflect off the fresh, clean decore. Heated by both reverse cycle heat pump and an electric fireplace, the dining area flows seemlessly into the kitchen complete with stone benchtops and loads of cupboards. Double doors open to the beautiful outdoor area with bistro blinds for all weather use when you are not in the private rear garden, landscaped and maintained to perfection! While incredibly beautiful, this fenced backyard is also practical if you have young children who need space to explore and burn off energy plus that all important garden shed.

Back inside, the front bedroom is currently set-up as a second living space with a huge built-in bookcase and a fabulous sunroom/study opening off this room. Double doors open outside onto the front verandah for enjoying those beautiful spring and summer days. Another electric fire is great for additional heating and that cosy ambiance, whether using this as a bedroom or a living room. The main bedroom is large with a modern ensuite to match! Drenched in natural sunlight, this bathroom is a real surprise. At the rear of the home is another two bedrooms, bathroom and separate toilet with vanity, the perfect space for guests to have some privacy or older children. While these rooms can be closed off from the main part of the house with the added benefit of external access, they can also remain integrated with the rest of the home by opening the hallway door.
