Overview

This original cottage, built in 1922, sits on an expansive 907 square meter parcel of dual-frontage land zoned for general residential use. Located in a coveted pocket of Ranelagh near local amenities such as the renowned Summer Kitchen Bakery, it offers unique appeal to renovators, investors, and those seeking future development opportunities.

The home's authentic character shines through its timber floors, high ceilings, retro features, and recent electrical upgrades. While requiring extensive renovation, the property offers a solid foundation for restoring its original charm and realizing its full potential.

The interior includes generously sized bedrooms and a kitchen with a freestanding oven and cooktop, complemented by a partially enclosed verandah and an open plan dining and lounge area accentuated by a Saxon wood heater. The bathroom retains its period fittings alongside a modern toilet. Rainwater is collected from the shed roof to supply an additional kitchen tap, underscoring the property's functional infrastructure.

Outside, the home is enhanced by a timber deck with lattice balustrading that wraps around two sides, offering peaceful views over the Huon River, the township, and surrounding hills—a perfect setting for relaxation or entertaining. Extensive shedding at the rear, featuring a concrete floor and multiple bays including a carport, woodshed, and utility toilet, provides ample space for vehicles and storage.

The property further benefits from a sloping lawn and an established vegetable garden, complemented by timber outbuildings such as a workshop and a chicken shed, which reflect historic craftsmanship and add character. The combination of its renovation prospects and possible subdivision or redevelopment (subject to council approval) make this home a rare offering in a highly sought-after area.

This sale is based on an 'as is, where is' condition; prospective buyers should conduct their own investigations regarding the dwelling's state and any development prospects.
