Set on a corner block in sought after West Hobart is this delightful 1910 home brimming with original features and charm. Overlooking 'Caldew Park' with only a short distance to Hill St. Grocers, Smolt Kitchen, and other Boutique businesses and general services.
Entering through the picket fence you immediately fall in love with this charming home. Positioned amongst a pretty garden displaying mature Camellia and Lilac trees in the front yard and Ornamental Cherry tree, lemon, and bamboo in the backyard. The front door has been painted just the 'right' colour red and leads you into the entry with slate floor and an oval stained feature window above the original door. This room offers you a quiet place to read or just sit and watch the world go by.
The two bedrooms off the wide hallway have a combination of bay windows, high ceilings, floorboards and a generous amount of room.
The kitchen/dining area at the back of the house is north facing with double glass doors that open out onto the beautiful sunny, private courtyard and garden.
There is a formal dining room that could be utilised as a third bedroom if required. A separate lounge comes off the dining area with the originally carved mantelpiece. The home is heated by an efficient Saxon wood heater.
The back entry is generous and an ideal mudroom with cupboard space, coat hooks, and the walls display feature timber dado boards. The 3-piece bathroom is to the left of this room.
Off street parking is located at the top of the garden behind solid double gates.
These older homes are such a delight to rework... create that mix of casual elegance whilst addressing all the modern conveniences we value. Not one to be missed... you will thoroughly enjoy viewing such a well preserved home.
Tenanted until 28th February 2019. * This tenant has lived and cared for the home for the past 20 years.
