Directly on the Sandy Bay/Battery Point border, and only 120 metres from the CBD 7000 boundary, this completely refurbished two-bedroom apartment is a hidden gem at the leafy rear of a small complex of nine, wonderfully located within walking distance to all that these central Hobart areas have to offer.

Accessibly situated on the first-floor of the apartment complex, at the very back of the building and away from the street, the gated front verandah is on title, and provides undercover entry to the unit as well as a place to enjoy the afternoon sun. There is a natural gas bayonet provided to connect a barbecue.

Once inside, the open-plan design allows for spacious and free-flowing living.

The combined dining, living and kitchen areas are filled with natural light via the large windows framed by gorgeous greenery, with water, marina, city night lights and Wrest Point views from the living room. While taking in the vista, it is just a few steps to the adjoining tiled back balcony where you can enjoy your morning coffee in the sun.

The contemporary kitchen boasts quality appliances including an electric stovetop, range hood and Smeg oven. With plenty of cupboards and space on the stylish benchtops, the end under-bench cupboard is wired and plumbed for a dishwasher, should you so wish. Full fibre-to-the-premises NBN has been discreetly wired in to provide the best Wi-Fi possible without impacting the attractive interior design. Centralised natural gas heating in the kitchen easily heats the whole apartment, even on the coldest winter days.

The master suite enjoys large, mirrored built-in wardrobes and plenty of sunlight from the pretty vertical glass feature and large windows looking out across the tiled back balcony. The second bedroom also contains built-in robes and could easily double as a home office or study.

A generously sized bathroom contains a walk-in shower with luxurious rainfall shower head. It also contains a toilet and vanity with space to house washroom essentials. This apartment is the only one in the complex connected to natural gas, ensuring unlimited “instant-on” hot water, with thermostats to pre-set your exact preferred temperature. Walk straight into the shower on the hospital quality non-slip floor and luxuriate at your leisure.

An elegant theatrical make-up mirror, Huon pine floating vanity, dramatic tiling, and figured glass are typical of the designer features in this apartment that really make it that little bit special.

The recent renovation included all new electrics and plumbing with extensive sound insulation to ensure errant noise from this and other apartments are effectively muted. With an eye on future maintenance, there are clear construction photographs available of these works, coupled with all spare tiles and paint stored in the ground-floor Utility room, to facilitate any future touch-ups or repairs.

This largest Utility room in the complex, is for your exclusive use, and is plumbed and wired for laundry appliances, and optionally an extra refrigerator and/or freezer if you wish to extend the whisper-quiet but compact refrigeration in the upstairs kitchen area. Even with the included washing machine, plus a dryer, a refrigerator and a freezer in the Utility room, you will still have ample room for storage and a bicycle or two. Adjoining, a garage with roller door provides secure parking and additional storage space if desired.

The complex has recently had a new roof, central power board and drainage works completed. It has an active Management Committee and currently over $27,000 in the admin and sinking funds available for further works.

Byron St is the continuation of Molle St. and this apartment is great value for such wonderful amenity, with access to all that makes Hobart such a premiere lifestyle destination, including:
• 700 metres walk to St David’s Park; and another 150 metres to the top of Salamanca Place where the markets start
• 450 metres to the Historic Hobart Rivulet walk to Cascade Brewery and Gardens (and beyond). Spot one of the resident platypuses!
• 300 metres to Hotel Soho for dinner or bottle shop
• 500 metres to Woolworths in the middle of the Sandy Bay shopping district, surrounded by award-winning restaurants, doctors, dentists, gyms and so on.
• Hobart’s top CBD eateries such as Franklin, Fico and Dier Makr are a short stroll, and just a bit over a kilometre will see you climbing aboard the Mona ferry.

The gardens of Albuera St Primary school adjoin the back of the apartment. While this means some squeals and giggles during a school day, it also means there are effectively no neighbours there at nights, public holidays, on weekends, and for that half of the year in aggregate that lies outside of school terms. The result is an amazingly idyllic ambience for this premium inner city location, at the times when you will most enjoy it.

Located on the border of Hobart’s two most prestigious suburbs and just moments from Salamanca, the CBD, and Sandy Bay shops, this delightful sun-filled apartment is perfect for an individual, couple, or small family looking to reside in comfort, style and convenience. It would also be highly suited to executive accommodation, or to investors looking for a strong rental return with significant capital appreciation potential. It is available with, or without the current furniture, appliances, bedding and decorations.
