Overview

A Sandy Bay Original, Ready for Its Next Chapter

Solid, spacious and wonderfully original, 5 Grace Street presents a rare opportunity to take a classic 1950s Sandy Bay home and make it entirely your own. Built in 1952 and held in largely original condition, the home is unapologetically a renovator. What it does offer is a fantastic foundation to work with - solid brick construction, generous proportions, hardwood floors and an abundance of natural light, all in a location that speaks for itself. At the heart of the home is an exceptionally spacious living and dining area, where large windows capture plenty of sun and an outlook across the surrounding rooftops towards the River Derwent and Sandy Bay. A wood fireplace adds to the home's original character. The kitchen remains a true snapshot of its era, complete with original cabinetry and stove, while the bathroom, with its pink fittings, is another nod to the home's 1950s beginnings. Three generous bedrooms complete the main accommodation. To the rear, a versatile laundry and games room provides additional space to work with, while downstairs you'll find a single garage, second toilet and extensive under-house storage. Outside, established gardens and the distinctive curved brick façade give the home plenty of street presence, with off-street parking adding further convenience. Positioned in the heart of Sandy Bay, you're within easy reach of the University of Tasmania, local shops and cafés, the waterfront and public transport, with Hobart's CBD only minutes away. There is work to be done here, but that's exactly the opportunity. For those with the vision to breathe new life into a Sandy Bay original, 5 Grace Street offers the space, bones and location to create something truly special.
