Step into a time capsule upon entering this extraordinary circa1930 residence - a vast four-bedroom character home located so close to all amenities, and less than 10 minutes from central Hobart.
The property needs extensive repair and renovation - there's plenty of work to be done to return its former glory, but it's a challenge that will be relished by those with restoration experience and a passion for revitalising vintage homes.
Living spaces abound, with grand reception rooms at the front of the dwelling, a formal dining area, an eat-in kitchen, as well as a billiard room - all with timber feature walls and panelling, lovely stained-glass windows, and wood fires that will keep these large spaces comfortable in colder weather. Two bathrooms (one has all facilities combined, the other with separate toilet) and a laundry/utility room complete this level.
Tas Oak floorboards add warmth and timeless style to the upstairs rooms, comprising four very generously sized bedrooms, two with big walk-in wardrobes. All four rooms offer natural light and wonderful views to varying aspects of the city, optimised by this level's top-floor elevation.
Outside, the leafy rear yard is a private fully-enclosed area which is not visible from the street, with filtered sun and ample space for entertaining or an expansive garden - the possibilities are endless with landscaping and clever garden design. There is a workshop with storage, as well as a secure double garage accessed via a shared driveway off Tower Road.
Set on 852 sqm of land, this property is positioned between the conveniences of New Town Plaza and Moonah's vibrant retail precinct - so there's an abundance of shops, eateries, entertainment and services nearby. Regular buses direct to Hobart's CBD stop right outside on New Town Rd, the intercity cycleway is easily accessible, and there are a range of local schools - including Hobart City High School directly opposite.
While there's dedicated work needed here, returning this glorious home to its prime condition, adding modern conveniences and your individual style to the original period features will be a rewarding project for those who can see the very clear potential here. Inspections are by appointment only- contact Mel today and see it for yourself.
