This property is simply superb and surprisingly very private.
Set on a 932 m2 level allotment, this solid brick with stucco render 1915 built home will win you over. This charming house is complemented by having 2 driveways, 2 separate garages, an outbuilding with 2 rooms perfect as workshop/storage areas and a large side yard and even larger real Aussie backyard where children and pets can play in comfort and safety.
Once you enter from the verandah into the wide entrance hall you will feel welcomed into a 178 m2 house which has plenty of light and space and where most rooms are of generous proportions. The inviting interior is a sheer delight and most original character features, such as wide skirting boards, fretwork, leadlight windows, ornate door fittings, bay window in the lounge room, high ceilings and picture rails are left unspoiled. Panel heaters, a wood heater and open fireplaces are positioned throughout in order to keep the interior nice and warm during our cooler months. The enclosed verandah off the formal lounge has been turned into a useful sunroom and as an added bonus, the home has been rewired which is another feature worthy of note.
The property’s position is ideal. Less than 150 metres from Lenah Valley shops and services, 400 metres from Calvary Hospital, close to a multitude of public and private schools, on a bus route and a comfortable walk to North Hobart’s bustling restaurant strip make the home’s location highly desirable.
This is the sort of property which will appeal to a large cross-section of the buying public, including retirees who have been searching for a handy location, families who need space and might want to renovate and/or extend the house and even developers who could stratum title (STCA) the large block. So many boxes with so many ticks.
