Overview

Timeless character with space, charm and opportunity

Built in 1914, this charming character home offers an appealing combination of period features and exciting potential, all in a highly convenient New Town location. With its classic stucco exterior, wraparound veranda and surprisingly spacious floorplan, this is a fantastic opportunity to secure an affordable entry into one of Hobart's most sought-after suburbs. Inside, the home retains all the charm you would expect of its era, with polished floorboards, high ceilings, decorative ceiling roses and picture rails adding warmth and character throughout. The four generous bedrooms provide excellent accommodation, with the main bedroom featuring a fireplace, sitting area and walk-in robe. The living area flows seamlessly through to the kitchen, complete with a walk-in pantry and adjoining designated dining area. A family bathroom and European-style laundry provide practical everyday convenience, while a separate sunroom or study offers additional flexibility and opens via French doors onto the rear deck, creating a lovely space for outdoor entertaining. Year-round comfort is assured with a combination of all day sun, reverse cycle heating and cooling, and wood heating. Outside, the level and fully enclosed yard provides plenty of room to enjoy, complete with a garden shed and gated access to off-street parking for two vehicles via the rear laneway, with scope to further enhance the home, extend or potentially add a garage in the future, subject to relevant approvals. Positioned within easy walking distance of New Town Plaza, Woolworths and local cafes, and a mere 3km from Hobart's CBD, the location is every bit as appealing as the home itself. Whether you are a first home buyer, character home enthusiast or an astute buyer looking to add value over time, this is an exciting opportunity to secure a home with genuine charm, space and potential in a tightly held location.
