Perched on the edge of vibrant Hobart city sits a stunning Victorian era home, retaining original character and old-world charm that seamlessly blends with modern upgrades in a desirable and convenient location.

Constructed circa 1880, this near city fringe cottage has undergone refurbishment to allow for contemporary living, and has been a lucrative and in-demand short-term accommodation. A rare offering for such a central locale, the property features eight parking spots at the rear, of which six are currently tenanted long-term for $1,260 per month. The remaining two spaces closest to the property are reserved for residents and visitors.

Inside the charming cottage, features of its Victorian era remain, with high ceilings, polished hardwood floors, decorative ceiling cornices, picture rails, and a medley of timbers throughout, including Australian Cedar and King Billy Pine. Further evidence of the original build can be found behind converted walls, where preserved sandstone and fireplaces remain in-situ.

The ground floor of the expansive residence has been reimagined to provide bright, open space, with a combined lounge and dining accessed from the wide hallway. Towards the rear of the home, a lovely, light-filed sunroom bathes in morning sunshine and enjoys direct access to the verandah.

A sprawling tiled kitchen offers room for casual dining and extends to the sunny rear balcony. The culinary area contains an abundance of countertop, pantry and cabinet space and features premium appliances including Finesse by Chef branded electric stovetop, oven, and rangehood, a Westinghouse dishwasher. Conveniently, there is plenty of room within the kitchen area to house both a washing machine and a dryer, within close proximity to the washing line outside. A powder room under the stairs services the lower level.

Quality accommodation comprises of three generous bedrooms. On the ground floor, a spacious double bedroom overlooks the street, while upstairs, two light-filled sleeping quarters enjoy an abundance of sunshine, pitched ceilings, and built-in storage, and the larger of the two contains an ornate converted fireplace.

The modern bathroom on the upper level is luxuriously appointed, spacious, and features an over-bath shower, a vanity, and a toilet, with striking wall tiles and heated towel rails.

Central and ducted cooling and heating throughout the entire home ensures comfortable living conditions year-round, along with underfloor insulation. The residence has been re-wired and is NBN-connected. A natural gas connection is available in this street. Extensive and secure storage space is located under the house.

Outside, there are two sheltered entertaining terraces at either end of the property, where you can chase the all-day sun. The rear verandah overlooks the rooftops of Hobart, to a low-maintenance garden filled with leafy trees and natives below. At the front of the home, the undercover porch with level access is the perfect place to watch the world go by.

Despite its central location, the home enjoys peaceful ambience while being just moments from the CBD, Salamanca, and Hobart’s iconic waterfront. Walking distance to three schools, this charming home is perfectly positioned on the Western edge of the city, and with designated off-street parking, every conceivable convenience is just a short stroll away.
