Location, location, location – this neat two level home in leafy Mt Nelson has all three. It is close to everything, and yet private and peaceful. Lovely views of Mt Wellington all around – filtered views from the house. It’s in a quiet, family-friendly, neighbourhood. It’s within easy walking distance of the local shop, pharmacy, medical clinic, bus stops, Hobart College, and the thriving Mt Nelson Primary School. It’s also not far to the Uni, only 10 minutes to town, and even less to Sandy Bay. There are several excellent bush walking tracks in the vicinity including one to the Signal Station. This gum tree haven has been a relaxing home, and will appeal to many people. The bush atmosphere close to the city is just so lovely and convenient.
With a brand new kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, a newly renovated dining area, and 3 bedrooms, this brick and tile home, with easy slide aluminium windows, is a low maintenance, very practical and comfortable house. It is pleasant, fresh, airy, and ready to live in, with nothing that has to be done. Sitting out on the large, private deck (approx 27m2) off the kitchen/dining room, you are virtually ‘in the trees.’ It’s a birdwatchers delight and a retreat for ‘dreamers.’
Upstairs is the living area (approx 127m2) with wonderful garden, mountain glimpses or bush views from the kitchen, lounge, master bedroom and 2nd bedroom. The 3rd bedroom has nice fernery views. Basically almost all the large windows in the house look out on verdant, refreshing scenes, and bring loads of light in. There are quality, built in cupboards in the entry hall and several rooms, including a large wardrobe in the master bedroom. The long carport (approx 43m2, could take two small cars) is just out the front door providing undercover access to vehicles.
The updated bathroom has bath, separate shower, vanity, medicine cupboard with sliding door mirrors, and ceiling heat/lights/fan. There is a separate toilet, freshly painted. The laundry is generous, with large double SS sink, and has good storage and utility shelves, plus direct access to the deck. All these ‘wet’ areas have new high quality floor covering.
Downstairs is the lock up garage, and a very useful workshop area (in all, approx
36 m2), excellent for the home handyman or hobbyist. There is also a vast area, some of it easily accessible, for clean, dry storage. This underfloor area could be further developed without much fuss. It’s pleasantly cool downstairs on hot summer days too! Also, this would be a very easy house to install central heating in, if that was desired. The ceiling space has been professionally insulated.
The property has a leafy, mature and developed back garden-fenced and safe for pets or children. Lots of flowers, native plantings and even some young blackwood trees, all of which provide peace and privacy. It has a small veggie patch too. There is a little lock up garden shed, and a larger ‘open’ potting/storage shed. On the street side of the house is a gravelled circular drive plus hedges and garden beds and a beautiful silver birch. Lots of off street parking. Very nice surrounds on a large (980m2) block.
All and all, really an easy and very nice homely home – come and see for yourself!
