'Mauriston' aka 7 Frederick Street, West Hobart, constructed in the year 1920, is a substantial 4-bedroom brick home, split over two levels, presenting an excellent opportunity for the astute buyer to secure their very own piece of history.
Situated on the Hobart's vibrant city fringe and within the tightly held "Golden Triangle", the property commands an elevated position capturing stunning city & river views and is tucked away from the immediate hustle, yet still affords its residents an easy 10 - 15 minute walk approximately to Hobart CBD.
Upon inspection, it is evident the property retains most of its classic original features and has recently undergone an extensive & thorough clean. There have been some improvements made to the property over time which were necessitated however for the most part, you are presented with a blank canvas that beckons a luxurious & enhanced makeover and for its new owner to put their stamp on.
As you enter, you are greeted by a wide entry hall with rooms flowing off into a choice of two living areas which both flow into the kitchen/dining area which showcases spectacular city & river views and is no doubt in need of a stunning makeover. A formal lounge at the front of the house provides additional living space but would more appropriately be utilised as additional (4th) bedroom if required. Also, on this level is a bathroom off the kitchen /dining.
The lower floor may have potential to be self-contained and income generating (STCA) given it has its own separate access and comprises three more-than-generously-sized bedrooms, one featuring a seated bay window overlooking the beautiful back garden and one has the luxury of two access points (external and internal). The bedrooms are serviced by the main central bathroom, also located on this floor. The toilet / powder room is separate for added convenience.
Recent upgrades to the property including modernised bathrooms, NBN made available & connected to the premise and installation of Daikin reverse cycle heat pump to provide year-round comfort. Not to mention, the upkeep/ongoing maintenance of the ever so beautiful front & rear yard.
Original features including light fittings & switches, picture rails, various fireplace settings, high-pitched ceilings that showcase the era and heritage of the property all of which add character and charm to the property.
The laundry is located outside, and a new clothesline has just been installed. A lovely quadrangle area sets a peaceful ambience and it is deceiving how much room there really is with plenty of space for kids to run around and play, and with ample room for those wanting to extend (STCA) this grand residence.
