The deception and subterfuge has almost reached its peak. Sitting incognito amongst a camouflage of greenery it slowly raises its head to survey the local scene. At first glimpse you think it looks relatively trustworthy. It’s when you delve into the inner circle full realisation of talent is revealed.

This unassuming three-bedroom home in the Glenorchy heartland offers more than meets the eye. A rambling double block generates suburban envy with large front garden put to shame by the space that waits round back – big enough to fit another entire house on its title STCA.

Modest in its demeanour, inside the cream weatherboard home offers a light and bright disposition. You are greeted by renovated and smashing polished boards with length and skylight to create that perfect interval pitch during the Ashes marathon.

A large and presiding lounge with timber references with fireplace and reverse-air sits front and centre with plenty of light streaming in the front windows. A supporting solid and homely kitchen with serviceable breakfast bar flows into ample casual dining with sliding door access.

Three generous bedrooms are on offer, one with built-in cupboards and dresser, the other with plenty of space for double or multiple singles and the third a smaller compact version but still with space to like. The bathroom supports with similar size with the deluxe inclusion of raised corner timber spa bath and lots of room to groom.

To the rear, a landscaped and enclosed patch plays host to a stand-alone studio that contains light-filled space for the hobbyist, teenage retreat or rumpus whilst a supporting garage services off-street parking.

Incredible block size of 1570m2 offers opportunity to extend or landscape in the ultimate backyard blitz. There is plenty of scope to freely double current floor space and add the outdoor entertaining area, vegie patch, chicken run, orchard and still maintain a sizable patch of lawn to boot. Or the other extreme subdivide and develop STCA.

On a quiet side street off busy Elwick Road, you are centrally placed to access the best of both worlds. Walk to the Showgrounds, Elwick racecourse, the DEC or meander the opposite direction to the shopping mecca known as Northgate and all of its surrounds. Opportunity is knocking so come and inspect.
