78 Tolosa Street, Glenorchy TAS 7010

A rare opportunity presents to purchase something quite special...a property not only with heritage significance, being a single storey Old Colonial Georgian cottage in Tolosa Street, one of the oldest streets in Glenorchy, originally known as Dusty Miller Lane...also thought to be one of the earliest remaining buildings in the street.

Circa 1845, number 78 is constructed of rendered brick, the front facade consists of two symmetrical shuttered windows. The accommodation indicates flexibility, the floor plan currently displaying 2 double bedrooms and 2 living rooms. At the rear, there is one bathroom which includes a bathtub and an adjacent laundry. Hidden value in brief here includes... upgraded wiring, new roofing, gas hot water with thermostat, security system, reverse cycle air conditioner and NBN to the property

The sunny kitchen is relatively spacious and opens to the garden which consists of an expanse of lawn, a gorgeous mature gum tree and some shrubbery... the orientation here is facing north west, so perfect for enhancing and developing the existing garden, the level allotment being 686sqm suggesting plenty of scope!

There are some really nice features of the original cottage still evident throughout... a stone window sill, high ceilings and timber windows with lovely deep ledges akin to a built in window seat. A comprehensive upgrade of this property is required, however there is huge potential to add value. A wood heater and reverse cycle air conditioner keeps the interiors comfortable year round.

The location is very central on the cusp of West Moonah, Derwent Park and in a northerly direction, Montrose. There are pocket parks as well as picturesque Tolosa Park nearby, recreational, sporting grounds and a selection of services, the retail and cafe precinct also in the vicinity and all within walking distance.

The city fringe is within easy reach, by public transport or car just 15-20 minutes away.
Grasp this opportunity to renovate and add capital value in an area becoming increasingly sought after, so anticipate further growth and act decisively to purchase a little slice of Tasmanian history!
