Welcome to 31 Queen Street, a charming and well-maintained 1910 cottage set in one of Sandy Bay's most tightly held pockets, just a short stroll from shops, the waterfront and the Hobart CBD. This is a home that effortlessly blends timeless character with modern convenience, offering a warm, inviting lifestyle in a wonderful neighbourhood.
From the street, the home's classic weatherboard façade and welcoming veranda set the tone, inviting you to step inside and experience the comfort and charm within. The entry hall leads you through to the well-proportioned bedrooms and living spaces, all of which are peaceful retreats ideal for families and guests.
To the front of the home, the formal living room is a beautifully cosy space, offering a wonderful place to relax or entertain, with classic proportions and an inviting atmosphere that reflects the home's period charm.
The home offers three well-proportioned bedrooms. The third bedroom, currently configured as a formal dining room, provides excellent versatility and can easily be used as accommodation, a guest room, formal dining or another living space.

Next to the kitchen, the main dining area connects seamlessly to the rear of the home, enhancing the sense of space and everyday liveability.
A real highlight is the covered outdoor entertaining area and tiled terrace, extending the living space and creating the perfect setting for alfresco dining, morning coffee or relaxed gatherings. Framed by a private cottage-style garden, this tranquil outdoor setting is both low-maintenance and beautifully established, with winding paths, garden beds and seating areas creating a peaceful retreat. From the backyard, there are also views toward Mount Wellington, adding to the home's sense of outlook and privacy.
The home's bathroom and laundry are conveniently positioned toward the rear, supporting the practical flow of the home while remaining separate from the main living areas.
