THERE are pleasant views away across the harbour to the city and Mt Wellington and on down the River Derwent from this well located family home on two levels.

Sunny and on a good sized block with easy-care, established gardens, the home is across the road from a tennis club while close by are the Howrah primary school, the swimming beach and the popular Shoreline shopping centre.

The Hobart city centre is about a 10 minute drive away.

The home is solidly built but reflects its vintage and a reasonable make-over to reflect the contemporary life-style would enhance its appeal.

The main entry is from an expansive front deck, which provides a roof for a large carport with level access from the street.

A sliding door opens to a carpeted sunroom or gallery/reception area, which also provides access to a family room at one end and at the other, a master bedroom with an en suite bathroom and his and her built-in wardrobes with mirrored doors.

Next is a capacious family/dining room with an open fireplace with a sandstone faade as well as a low tariff electric heater and a stairway spiralling up to a spacious games room with an overhead fan, an eight ball table and accessories and delightful river views.

Beyond the family room is a large kitchen with ceramic hotplates, a range-hood, a walloven and grill and a fridge-freezer. It is timber cedar lined with Blackwood joinery and the tiled floor extends through a meals area with another electric heater and access to the securely fenced and leafy back yard with a timber garden shed, a large kennel or storage and flowering gums among the native trees.

Also off the kitchen is a study or office and the laundry with door to the yard and an adjoining toilet with basin.

This level also has another two good sized bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a cedar lined family bathroom with a corner spa, a separate shower bay and a Blackwood vanity unit.

This is an excellent opportunity to buy into a sought after residential area with services and a plethora
