68 Charles Street, Orford TAS 7190

This home is simply immaculate – with a choice of entertaining areas plus alfresco dining out doors on the deck with unencumbered water views - or indoors with ducted air conditioning, there are so many attractive features to this property including a central vacuuming system for ease of cleaning and a block size large enough to provide for off street parking.

68 Charles Street is a smart and contemporary style residence completed by the house proud vendors in 2015 to a very high standard of finish. A few hundred metres walk from Orford shopping, the property enjoys elevated views over the southern end of the village to Prosser Bay and an otherwise pleasing semi rural outlook – the decks are finished with glass balustrades for uninterrupted enjoyment of the views.

Just minutes from either of East and West Shelly Beaches and a choice of boat ramps, this location is level, low maintenance and offers full services including town water, sewerage and NBN connection.

The floor plan accommodates 4 bed rooms all with built in wardrobes (his and hers walk in robes for the parents retreat and ensuite), 2 luxurious bathrooms, the ensuite with a heated floor and a separate laundry and 3rd toilet/ powder room downstairs for the den or generous games room. Included is an office alcove and under house there are large and secure storage and workshop areas.

The property would suit a retired couple seeking room to also accommodate occasional extended family visits, an easily found holiday rental or just a family holiday home featuring a wonderful open plan living area with panoramic double glazed windows to take in the Northerly views and flood the home with natural light. A separate dining area and gourmet kitchen provide the perfect mix of formal or informal entertaining opportunity.
Neutral tones dominate the internal décor and the home is so beautifully kept, on inspection it is like walking into a brand new property - without the delays and agony of the new build process if that might have been your plan. The grounds are low maintenance and fenced to suit the security of small pets or children, it's all here waiting for you to move in and enjoy.
A few minutes drive, bike ride or healthy walk to cafes, nearby parklands with kids play equipment and IGA supermarket and there is so much to do here by the sea. Take in the history of meandering Old Convict Road alongside the Prosser River or explore the foreshore walk along West and East Shelly Beaches, to the rolling surf of Spring Beach as a 'must do', alive with the sounds of the ocean and native bird life.

The Orford/Spring Beach precinct is popular with cyclists and well equipped with community support infrastructure including medical services, a pharmacy, library, very active golf, bowls and boating clubs – all this just one hour by car from the city of Hobart. And did I mention the fishing? What are you waiting for!
