37 Smith Street, North Hobart TAS 7000

Central to cosmopolitan North Hobart, 37 Smith Street is a contemporary, compact cottage perfect for a professional single or couple, with only a two kilometer walk to the Hobart CBD.

Set back off the street by a small front yard, an attractive blue front door leads into a central hallway. Lined with ornate red and cream wallpaper and light dado boards, the hall leads through to an open plan living area. Three bedrooms branch off the hallway; two looking out to the street and one leading off the living area.

In the living area, polished boards and light colours maximise the space, with sun streaming in through the north-facing kitchen, which overlooks the lounge. The timber-panelled kitchen and dining space looks out to the courtyard through large windows, with access through double-doors.

The paved courtyard is the perfect space for entertaining and relaxing in the sun. Against a high, red brick wall, established flowering plants provide an attractive yet low-maintenance backdrop for the courtyard, kitchen and living areas. Raised on sandstone steps, a garden shed offers storage for outdoor equipment, including bikes and bbqs. A paved walkway down the side of the house is secured by a tall gate.

Inside the kitchen/dining space, a laundry is discreetly hidden by folding doors, and a neat bathroom includes down-lights and contemporary cabinetry. A secure garage provides off-street parking.

Close to the CBD and only a short walk to the Elizabeth Street restaurant strip, this attractive cottage on a 218 sqm block is an ideal rental or home for a single or couple.
