It’s not that often you can get a great location and views at an affordable entry level price, but this three bedroom Federation home does just that. It is literally 200 metres from Eastlands Shopping Centre but is set back from the road, making it private and homely and it enjoys beautiful views across the Derwent River to the city and Mount Wellington.

An added bonus is that it is an easy care block with off street parking in the form of an enclosed carport.

Being Federation, the generous sized rooms flow off the central hallway running through the single level home. High ceilings add a sense of space and light. To the right of the entrance is the master bedroom with ensuite and a lovely original open fireplace with mantelpiece. A skylight adds light and is a feature of the room. The main bathroom is spacious and functional. Opposite is the formal lounge with a sandstone enclosed gas heater and wall panel heaters. A timber deck through double doors will be a lovely area to enjoy the afternoon sun and city lights and views.

The kitchen and open plan family and dining room has recently been upgraded. A lovely timber breakfast bar and server is a feature. It will be an inviting space, capturing the morning sun. The third bedroom, with built-in wardrobe, is at the rear of the home, adjacent to the laundry.

The back yard is small but functional and has a shed for storage.

There is a combination of heating options throughout the house, but as it attracts all day sun, it will be warm and inviting.

Flooring is in the form of polished timber floorboards in living spaces and carpet in the bedrooms.

This should be of great interest to first home buyers. Much of the hard work is done, leaving some lighter renovation and decorating to make this a lovely home, restored to the Federation splendor in a highly desirable location with fantastic views and close to shops, services and schools.
