Here is a home that wears many hats at once — and holds a secret within.

Not just a house, it’s a forever home.
From the street, No.35 York St appears as a lovely example of Sandy Bay architecture from 100 years ago.
Step inside, and a statement in modern family living is revealed, embracing the historic architecture and updating it into a warm, chic and sophisticated property with a coastal feel.

Listed for sale by Phoebe Nothling and Harry Coomer from Peterswald, No.35 York St has made a grand first impression on everyone who has inspected it.
The first open home was busy, with 32 groups coming to see the home first-hand.
Mrs Nothling said that even with such a large turnout, the home held the space beautifully, never feeling crowded.
“It’s a sensational entertainer,” she said.
“The feedback from people at inspections has been positive. They describe the property as ‘immaculate’ and ‘absolutely beautiful’.
“Some were impressed to find a home of this level of quality and style in Hobart.
“The warm colour palette was noted by many, they said it felt calming.”

The home was designed by architecture firm Oramatis for owners who, Mrs Nothling said, poured “heart and soul” into its renovation.
“The only reason they are selling is because of a job transfer,” she said.
“Otherwise, they would have loved to live here for many years.
“The home is so sophisticated and classy, while also very much being a family home.
“Everywhere you look there is something beautiful to discover: Taj Mahal Quartzite benchtops, excellent joinery, integrated appliances, an Ilve cooker, the strut window that joins the kitchen and outdoor living space, the window that frames the view of the historic church nearby, limestone pavers and the lustre bronze tapware.”
On entering the home, a classic layout reveals itself, with a central hall and bedrooms branching off on both sides.
It flows to a small set of steps where the home’s showstopping open-plan living zone extension was recently completed.
This part of the house is home to the kitchen, dining and living space, where soaring ceilings and skylights draw natural light into every corner.
A butler’s pantry sits behind the kitchen, fully equipped with a sink, oven, dishwasher and fridge – a practical addition for family life and entertaining alike.
Wide sliding doors draw the living space out to a spectacular covered alfresco area complete with an outdoor kitchen, generous dining space and relaxed lounge setting, built for year-round use.
The adjoining lawn gives children room to play — the trampoline will remain for the next family to enjoy — while a private swim spa adds a note of retreat to the backyard.
Five generous bedrooms offer comfortable family accommodation, each fitted with built-in wardrobes, and one with a built-in desk.
The primary bedroom is unforgettable, complete with a sophisticated ensuite and built-in vanity.
The family bathroom impresses with feature tiling, a freestanding bath and walk-in shower.
There is a powder room conveniently located nearby, and a separate laundry offering extensive timber storage and benchspace.
On the lower-ground level, a rumpus room sets the scene for movie or games nights, while additional multipurpose rooms offer flexibility for hobbies, study or work.
Comfort has been considered year-round, with double glazing paired with underfloor heating, gas heating, ducted heating and reverse-cycle airconditioning.
Outside, the fully fenced grounds feature impeccably landscaped gardens front and rear, with lush lawns and mature greenery, secured by a gated driveway and garage.
Positioned in sought-after Sandy Bay, the home is close to respected schools and the sandy shores of the bay itself – offering relaxed, well-connected living in one of Hobart’s most desirable suburbs.
No.35 York St, Sandy Bay is priced at $2.65m-plus.
