About this property
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.

Taroona is one of Hobart’s most peaceful coastal suburbs, known for its leafy streets, beautiful beaches and relaxed community feel. Just 12 minutes from the CBD, it offers the ideal balance between convenience and tranquillity. You’ll be close to local walking tracks, waterfront lookouts, Long Beach in Sandy Bay, and the iconic Shot Tower. With quick access to cafés, markets, parks and everything the greater Hobart area offers, it’s a brilliant location for families, couples or groups wanting a quiet retreat close to the city.
Taroona is best explored by car, with the property offering a spacious driveway for up to three vehicles. Hobart’s Metro bus network also services the area, providing easy transport into the CBD, Sandy Bay and surrounding suburbs. Taxis, Uber and car-hire companies are readily available, while coastal drives, beaches and attractions are all within a short distance.
Heating is provided by a large reverse-cycle heat pump. Please keep temperature below 23°C and adjust fan speed for extra warmth. Wood heater available for confident users; extra firewood is stacked at the front of the property. The spiral staircase to the upstairs sunroom has narrow steps — please take care. Outdoor cushions must be brought inside after use to prevent weather damage. The home uses a hot water cylinder; long or back-to-back showers may temporarily reduce hot water.
