Sandy Bay has long been regarded as one of Hobart’s most prestigious addresses, balancing leafy residential streets with vibrant village life. For investors, this location has the added advantage of being one of the city’s premier student accommodation hubs, where demand remains consistent year after year.

The home itself has been designed to meet the needs of shared living (renovated to meet Class 1B standards of the NCC), with 8 bedrooms offering individual privacy while still providing spacious communal zones for everyday life. A generous living area creates a natural meeting point for tenants, while the kitchen is well-equipped to cater for group cooking. The 3 bathrooms are nicely renovated, practical and serviceable. The home is kept comfortable year-round with a large reverse-cycle air conditioner.
Outside, the property sits on a low-maintenance allotment, reducing upkeep and ensuring outgoings are kept to a minimum. Off-street parking is a rare bonus in this part of Sandy Bay, adding further tenant appeal and security. Together, these features create a property that is both functional for its current use and adaptable for future improvements.
Currently operating successfully as a share house, 54 Alexander Street is already producing strong rental returns of approx. $1600/week at full occupancy.
