Hobart has just been rated the most affordable capital city in Australia, and this delightful brick townhouse split over three levels with beautiful views is proof positive. What makes it such a superb package is that it has everything you want and more, and is under 10 minutes’ drive to the CBD.

The townhouse is one of four along a private driveway, so it is an internal block providing a private and secluded retreat feel. There is a lovely courtyard and parking area. You literally hop out of your car and enter the property on the middle level through a large porch sunroom, straight into the kitchen and casual sitting room. Raked timber ceilings provide a sense of space and light and roominess, as well as warmth. Carpeted throughout, a skylight provides additional light.

The kitchen is well designed and has a large walk-in corner pantry and a breakfast bar.

Up 10 steps to the top level is an open plan living and dining area with a whole wall built for storage behind sliding doors. There is a superb deck adding to the space with views over the yacht club in the foreground to the River Derwent and Mount Wellington.

On the lower ground level are two bedrooms with built in wardrobes, the master with its own deck to sit out and enjoy the views. There is a family bathroom and a separate toilet and more storage options.

A sweet front yard, fully fenced, is a nice addition, and as with the whole home, is low maintenance.

This is an absolute cracker and really will be a great addition to an investment portfolio or an executive couple, offering the best that Hobart has to offer at an affordable price.
