Brimming with mid-century charm, original character and exciting potential, this much-loved 1959 weatherboard home presents a wonderful opportunity to create a home that truly reflects your own style, all in a highly desirable Bellerive address.
Set on a generous 728m² allotment, the home captures lovely views across the Derwent River towards kunanyi/Mount Wellington, with all-day sunshine adding to its appeal. Inside, the character of the era is beautifully evident, from the high ceilings and original ceiling roses to the polished timber floors, feature stained-glass windows and welcoming entrance foyer.
The front living room is full of personality, with polished timber flooring, corner timber windows and a charming brick chimney incorporating a split-system air conditioner for year-round comfort. The adjoining dining area flows naturally from the well-equipped, older-style kitchen, which offers excellent storage and a practical foundation for a future transformation.
Accommodation comprises three bedrooms, with built-in robes to the principal bedroom. A second, spacious living area at the rear of the home provides welcome flexibility for growing families, teenagers or those working from home. Timber sliding doors open to an undercover patio and the established rear garden, creating an appealing connection between indoor and outdoor living. Alternatively, this versatile space could be reconfigured as a fourth bedroom, depending on your needs.
Adding another layer of nostalgic charm, the bathroom features a striking retro yellow pedestal basin and matching deep enamelled bath, complemented by a separate walk-in shower. A separate toilet adds everyday convenience, making the layout practical for family living while retaining the home's delightful vintage character.
Outside, the established gardens offer a leafy setting with room to further enhance the grounds. A separate single garage, complete with a powered workshop area, will appeal to hobbyists, tradies or anyone needing additional storage and workspace.
While the property would benefit from renovation and updating, its original features, generous proportions, versatile living spaces and enviable position provide an exceptional foundation for those with vision. Whether you're looking to restore its mid-century character, create a contemporary family haven or undertake a rewarding renovation project, the possibilities here are well worth exploring.
Conveniently located close to excellent schools, local shops, public transport and sporting facilities, this is an opportunity to secure a home with genuine character in one of Bellerive's sought-after residential pockets.
