You can’t get more West Hobart than this with the Hill Street Grocer, train park and central hub of the suburb as your neighbours. Here is your chance to grab a landmark 1920s cottage character along the infamous strip. Friends will turn green with locality envy as you pop out for coffee, leisure or a long lunch down at the nearby North Hobart cafe strip before meandering back to your beloved home.

No 126 sits picture perfect at the northern end, with classic gabled porch entrance and white picket fence. Inside, the home is a blend of old and new. The new brings modern tones with simplicity and ease whilst the old teases with potential and charm.

Greeted by old world charm in the hallway entry, you are given a glimpse of potential and poise. One owner for over 60 years original features dominate throughout including high ceilings, floorboards, picture rails, carpet, door handles and light switches.

Enter the front street-facing formal lounge or bedroom with its lovely light, space and beautiful bay windows. A good eye will easily see the transformation of both lounge and hallway with some tender loving care.

A supporting bathroom and two bedrooms sit further down the hall, one in need of subtle attention the other a tastefully renovated master with attention to detail in its finish, built-in-robes, drapery and decor.

Likewise, open plan living towards the rear of the house has shared the same attention to bring a contemporary touch via stylish kitchen with breakfast bar and casual dining. It is complemented by adjoining sitting, third bedroom or study and reverse air heating.

An enclosed glass porch has also been erected to flow from the kitchen to provide the perfect sheltered resting place for pets or for you to curl up with a good book. It overlooks a compact backyard of mainly lawn for low maintenance and a garden shed.

Completely rewired, re-plumbed and painted in parts, the really hard stuff has been done for you. Someone just needs to finish the job to put the final touches on a tidy character residence.

If you have been looking to enter the West Hobart market then this is the enticement you need with bucket loads of potential, locality and charm right in the heart of Hill Street.
