26 Bay Road, New Town, Tas 7008

As you approach this stately home, its presence is immediately captivating, with the stunning white brick and slate grey features surrounded by bright green, trimmed hedges, it is hard to believe the size of the land beyond, offering limitless possibilities and wonderful opportunities for families, developers or investors.

'Neika' was originally thought to have been built around 1848, and during that time, occupied by five families throughout the years enjoying the expansive grounds, creating its own tranquil escape from the bustle of the city, with gardens extending over almost 3,000 square metres and 2 access points, from both Bay Road and Swanston Street where there is a right of way.

Intricate leadlight windows adorn the undercover porch entrance door where inside, the home invites you to historical charm including floral carpets typical of the era and finely polished floors which gleam in the North facing sun.

Certainly, a defining and capturing element of this magnificent home is the extensive use of Australian cedar which is renowned for its richness and durability. This stunning wood enhances the cabinetry including the door frames and grand staircase banisters.

Victorian window seats and bay windows throughout provide comfort and an enjoyable place to sit and read, or look out over the stunning gardens, and were a popular design feature of the mid-19th century.

Inside the functional kitchen there is a timber vibe, the cabinetry being Huon pine, with modern appliances and adjoining dining area for informal family meals, or alternatively gather in the spacious formal dining room adjacent then retire to the den or living room where a cosy fireplace enhances the warmth of the sun filled space where double French doors lead to the delightful deck overlooking the combination of fruit and walnut trees plus paved paths and stretching green lawns.

Heading upstairs to the 5 bedrooms, the carpeted foyer serves as an entrance to all, including the main bedroom, which is a feature in size and location, facing North and overlooking the beautiful grounds including the swimming pool and beyond.

The bathroom, although speaking of a bygone era, is liveable and encapsulates the charm of its era, with a shower over bath, vanity and toilet. There is an additional shower located in the laundry downstairs.

Enjoy afternoons in the sunroom watching the kids playing in the pool, head through the gardens and play a family game of tennis or simply relax and unwind in your own piece of tranquillity behind the privacy and screening of the fences and hedges where there is an abundance of off-street parking including a garage with a remote
controlled door.

Owning such a property is not merely about purchasing a home, it is about becoming a part of the history in a rare gem where old-world charm meets modern living, and natural elegance.
