19 Cornelian Bay, New Town TAS 7008

Built between the 1890s and 1930s, the historic 36 Cornelian Bay Boat Houses have long been an iconic Hobart waterfront landmark and sought after piece of real estate for purchasers seeking an idyllic retreat just minutes from the Hobart CBD.

Sitting over the water and offering a magnificent vista, the convenience and tranquillity of the location lends itself to a range of recreational activities including boating, kayaking and other water sport pursuits, an inspiring artist?s studio, second office, the perfect space to host long, leisurely lunches with friends and family or just a place to escape the everyday without a tedious commute!

Number 19 has been renovated to enjoy the luxuries of modern day living but still remains largely untouched. Currently configured as one open plan area with kitchenette facilities, dining and sitting area. Glass doors open onto a spacious and private deck. A large double daybed in a separate room allows its occupants to use it year round and still remain out of the elements. The floorplan also accommodates a separate bathroom with shower, vanity and toilet.

Nearby are the Botanical Gardens, Cornelian Bay Boat House restaurant offering waterfront dining, designated dog exercise area and children?s playground at the northern end of the bay. Despite all these facilities close by, the aspect and construction of number 19 ensures a haven of simple beauty, peace and privacy.

Tightly held, this classic slice of Hobart history is a great alternative and less maintenance than a traditional shack, providing a rare opportunity to acquire the perfect waterfront sanctuary just moments from the city.

Please note this property is freehold for the building together with a crown lease for the water on which it sits to the high water mark and is for recreational use only. For further information please contact the agent.
