Welcome to 16 Cook Street - a truly special offering in the tightly held and picturesque enclave of Lutana.
This beautifully presented, character-filled cottage is a perfect blend of period charm and contemporary convenience, offering a warm and welcoming lifestyle just minutes from the Hobart CBD. With a flexible floorplan offering up to three bedrooms and level entry from the rear, this home is ideally suited for families, professionals, investors, or downsizers seeking comfort, style and a sense of community.
On arrival, this property captivates with its charming street appeal and timeless facade. Behind the classic exterior lies a home rich in heritage features – including Tasmanian oak floorboards, high ceilings, and original timber joinery – all lovingly preserved to reflect the home's storied past. Throughout the home, modern upgrades have been carefully integrated to enhance everyday living without compromising its original charm.
The central hallway leads to a series of light-filled bedrooms, the primary bedroom boasting a natural gas heater. The combined bathroom and laundry has been tastefully upgraded, featuring a neutral palette, and a deep claw foot bath.
At the front of the home, a delightful lounge room, includes a working open fireplace and is bathed in natural light. Large windows offer ever-changing, views of kunanyi, providing a picturesque backdrop to everyday life.
The open-plan kitchen and dining area flows effortlessly onto the expansive backyard via double-glazed French doors. The established garden is private and sunny, ready to be enjoyed by those with a green thumb, children or pets.
Adding further appeal is the original garage, now converted into a flexible-use garden studio. With concrete slab, insulation and power already in place, this space is ideal as a home office, artist's studio, teenager's retreat, or hobby space – and still offers scope for further transformation, such as a self-contained granny flat or guest accommodation (STCA).
This property is located on a quiet street surrounded by friendly neighbours and charming homes. Lutana Garden Village is known for its strong community spirit, proximity to the Woodlands Reserve, and quick access to the city.
One of the eighteen original homes designed by Walter Butler and built by The Electrolytic Zinc Company for the workers families in the 1920's, this gorgeous enclave has become very popular due to its historical value and aesthetic appeal.
