Hill Street Grocer just down the street and the City centre merely minutes away by car, the location of this two bedroom home with a self-contained one bedroom flat downstairs, is perfect if you love city living! Schools, cafes, Knocklofty Reserve walks, the State Cinema and restaurants a ten minute downhill walk, means you won’t use your car so much…but you will keep fit! If you don’t like walking, there are bus stops very close by.
Built in 1939, many of the original Art Deco features remain intact with the classic double brick construction and beautiful, well established front and rear gardens, designed to create a warm and somewhat private feel to the home. The real surprise is the panoramic water views which take in Mt Direction, some of the Tasman Bridge, Hobart’s cityscape, the Eastern Shore and River Derwent down to Opossum Bay. These can be viewed from the generous rear deck, partially covered for year round use and makes the ideal place to perch yourself when entertaining family and friends, day or night!
The versatility of this property is appealing if you like the idea of having a town base, renting out the upper level or the lower flat (on its own separate electricity meter), depending on your space requirements. Alternatively, you might like to make use of the owners extension plans that have been approved by the Council that would increase the building size on both levels. The upper house has all you need with an open plan kitchen dining area that leads into the separate lounge or opens out onto the fabulous deck! Natural gas heating for the fireplace heater and hot water upstairs makes for a comfortable, homely feel and economic sense. The bedrooms are not close together, giving each privacy with a shared bathroom, laundry combined, separate toilet and a generous hall for greeting your friends.
Downstairs, you step into the kitchen with an adjoining bathroom laundry combined. The open plan living space has a bedroom off it and has a great garden outlook from both rooms. Further scope to open the living space out and build a deck were future considerations for the owner.
If you are looking for a home that offers an additional source of income, close to the city, or if you really love the location and want to convert this fabulously located home into a large family home using the existing plans with some minor modifications, this could be the perfect property for you! It is all about location, views and sun…this one has all of these!
