Presenting like new is this classic 1930's Californian Bungalow that has been given a stunning refurbishment inside and out which sees it modernized to today's chic. The owners have transformed this once tired old lady into two quality units whilst retaining and complementing the stylish original features.
Unit 1 features a structured and formal front entry including the original portico opening into the wide front entrance hallway and set back doorway with original stained glass trimmings, fret work arch and polished hardwood floors. The high ceilings give a sense of space throughout the unit. Be surprised by the two spacious bedrooms, both with built in robes, smart ensuite bathrooms incorporating shower, vanity, toilet, tiled heated floors and towel rails. The generous open plan kitchen dining and living zone features polished hardwood floors, European appliances including gas hobs, under bench oven, range hood and built in convection microwave, soft close draws and cupboards, glass splash backs and expansive bench tops. Outside there is a lovely lawn area, sunny nooks for entertaining or reading a book and off street parking for up to three cars.
Unit 2 has its own entrance and drive way running down the side of the building that terminates in a large private space with room for several vehicles and has the added bonus of a new double size garage with room for one car and a workshop / storage area. Entry to this unit is off the entertainment deck perfect for alfresco living and leads you into the open plan living dining kitchen zone which is set up with all the special features of unit 1. The styling in this unit has a bit more of a modern twist whilst at the same time retaining some of the original homes character features. Again there are two bedrooms with built in wardrobes, both with ensuite bathrooms incorporating shower, vanity, toilet, tiled heated floors and heated towel rails. The main bedroom is large and could easily incorporate a study area without encroaching on the space.
Location will definitely be a draw card as is within easy walking distance to the trendy shopping precinct of Sandy Bay, The Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania, Derwent Sailing Squadron, marinas, bowls club, churches, Wrest Point Casino and Convention Centre, schools and is right next door to the University of Tasmania. If you like the feel of character homes with period features, all the modern necessities and low maintenance landscaping giving the property definite street appeal and with nothing left to do but enjoy then these properties are ready to either live in or as a great investment opportunity.
