17 Brent Street, Glenorchy TAS 7010

The age of the timberwork in the doors and skirtings are apparent immediately upon entering this lovely old house. The gorgeous floorboards under your feet and the high ceilings complete with ceiling roses speak to you of the history of this place. The bathroom has the original claw foot bath, as well as a separate shower. There has been a modern laundry and second toilet added on also. The kitchen with its adjoining dining room have all the amenities of a modern home, the stove is connected to the piped gas line, and there is gas heating too. A heavy old door with leadlight windows and its original latch leads out from the dining area to a deck down the side of the house, with a sheltered barbeque area.

The separate lounge has an open fireplace with mosaic work. The owner has displayed historic documents pertaining to this property here, as well as a variety of artefacts uncovered during the renovation. The lounge also has original French doors leading onto the cute verandah with its wood panelled ceiling. The three bedrooms are huge in size and two of them have built in cupboards. The shaped ceilings give these rooms a very old feel, and the sash windows looking out to the leafy garden have all been restored to full working order.

No expense has been spared in the process of this amazing restoration, and there is scope for further development (STCA), with approval for a unit already been granted, but the space could be used in a variety of ways, or the garden further extended. It is a very rare opportunity indeed to acquire a true character home on a large block for this price, and you can be sure that it has been a labour of love.
