Overview

A rare opportunity in North Hobart

Set on an expansive 898m² parcel of inner residential land, 256 Brooker Avenue presents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial holding in one of North Hobart's most tightly held and highly sought-after locations. Combining character, space and future potential, this partially renovated home offers exceptional flexibility for owner-occupiers, investors and developers alike. The existing residence comprises five bedrooms and two bathrooms, with high ceilings and generously proportioned rooms creating a sense of space and comfort throughout. The floorplan has been thoughtfully designed for both practicality and everyday living, with updates enhancing comfort and functionality. The property also benefits from dual access, further enhancing its versatility and long-term appeal. Adding significant value, DA drawing plans have been prepared and lodged with council, covering further improvements to the site. The proposed plans include the construction of a new two-storey unit on the remaining land, offering three bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with upgrades to the existing dwelling through the conversion of the sunroom into an additional bathroom and kitchenette, and the transformation of the shed into a functional home office. These plans are currently **awaiting council approval**, providing an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking future development or multi-generational living options. Positioned just under 2.3 kilometres from the Hobart CBD, the home enjoys an enviable lifestyle location. North Hobart's renowned restaurant and café strip is within easy walking distance, while a short six-minute drive connects you directly to the city. Nearby access to parks, sporting facilities, and a range of well-regarded schools further enhances everyday convenience. Families will appreciate being within the catchment area for popular local primary and secondary schools, reinforcing the property's appeal as a long-term family home. Recently listed as a Heritage Property by Hobart City Council, the home retains the ability to be extended or modified, subject to council approval. A council inspection will be required prior to the issuing of permits, ensuring clarity and guidance for future works. Opportunities of this scale and location are increasingly rare in North Hobart. Offering immediate liveability alongside future potential, 256 Brooker Avenue stands out as a truly exceptional opportunity.
