Tucked behind a classic white picket fence, this gorgeous c1900 cottage is full of warmth, character and history, offering a wonderfully inviting home in one of West Hobart's most loved pockets.
Originally built as a worker's cottage, the home retains the character and simplicity that make properties of this era so appealing. Beautiful hardwood timber floorboards, timber sash windows and original fireplaces are a lovely reminder of its past, complemented by thoughtful updates, including a new Colorbond roof, that ensure the home is comfortable and easy to enjoy today.
At its heart, the cosy living room is a welcoming place to retreat, with both a wood heater and reverse-cycle air conditioning providing year-round comfort. From here, the flexible floorplan allows for up to three generous bedrooms, or two bedrooms with a separate dining room flowing from the living area, creating a lovely space for long dinners and entertaining with friends.
The kitchen enjoys a sunny northerly aspect overlooking the courtyard and garden beyond, with room for a breakfast table and a peaceful spot to start the day with a morning coffee. At the rear of the home, the combined bathroom and laundry has been freshly tiled and provides practical everyday functionality.
Outside is an unexpected little oasis. Private and established, the terraced garden provides space for productive veggie beds, while a level lawn creates a lovely area to relax, entertain or simply enjoy some greenery despite being so close to the city.
And it is the location that makes this charming cottage particularly special. From here, some of West Hobart's favourite local institutions are within an easy stroll, including Smolt Kitchen, Hill Street Grocer and the local butcher, while excellent schools, parks, Knocklofty Reserve and Hobart's CBD are all close by.
Whether walking into the city, heading out for coffee, exploring the nearby trails or spending a quiet afternoon in the garden, 181 Warwick Street offers a wonderfully connected West Hobart lifestyle with all the charm and personality of a much-loved character cottage.
