That’s right – Colour hadn’t been invented yet back in the 1950s… It was still years away!

Ok, chances are you weren’t around then… neither was I of course! But if you can close your eyes for a moment and imagine a time where telephones had cords NOT ‘apps’ and the new FJ Holden was at the cutting edge of motoring technology, well, you’ll start to get a rough picture of what it was like. It was boom time in Australia.

Have you ever been up close to an ‘FJ’ or other 1950s era cars? Those things were like battle tanks! They really built everything to last back then… including houses!

Weatherboard homes took Hobart by storm in the 1950s as the ‘post war boom’ moved into full swing. The frames were built of long lasting hardwood, as was the actual weatherboard cladding. This fine example in Lindisfarne is every bit as solid as the day it was built. Featuring three bedrooms, it would be perfect for a young family just starting out, or a serious buyer wanting a solid investment in a great area. It’s located in the highly regarded suburb of Lindisfarne and is just a short walk down to the boutique local shopping village.

The property has a reasonably level gradient dropping down from street level to a good sized front yard that’s just big enough for kicking a footy or a spot of cricket. Alternatively, you could walk the kids down to the local sports fields just a block away. There are sensational views of the Tasman Bridge and City, whilst the Eastern Shore location guarantees all day sun and perfect Mount Wellington sunsets.

Lindisfarne is popular because of its family friendly vibe, quiet streets and bay side position. Be quick to book your inspection by calling our friendly team right away.
