Overview

Located in one of Hobart's most sought-after suburbs, this character-filled home dating back to 1914 embodies timeless charm combined with practical living and future potential. The classic stucco exterior and wraparound veranda evoke its period heritage, while the surprisingly spacious and flexible floor plan accommodates modern lifestyle needs.

Inside, polished floorboards and high ceilings highlight the home’s original character, enhanced by decorative ceiling roses and picture rails that create warmth and architectural interest. The main bedroom’s fireplace and sitting area offer a cozy retreat, complemented by a walk-in wardrobe that adds valuable storage space.

The flowing living areas connect seamlessly to a kitchen featuring a walk-in pantry and designated dining space, ideal for family meals or entertaining. Additional versatility is provided by a sunroom or study opening to a rear deck, a perfect setting for relaxed indoor-outdoor living throughout the year.

Comfort is assured with a combination of natural sunlight, reverse cycle heating and cooling, alongside traditional wood heating, making the home welcoming in all seasons.

Externally, the fully fenced, level yard is spacious and secure, suitable for children or pets, and includes a garden shed for extra storage. Off-street parking is conveniently accessed via a rear laneway, with two spaces behind gated access. The property offers scope for enhancement, including potential extensions or a garage, subject to local approvals. Its central location is a key highlight, with New Town Plaza, local shops, and cafes within easy walking distance, and the Hobart CBD just 3km away.

This home will likely appeal to first-time buyers, lovers of character homes, and buyers looking to add value and personalize a property in a tightly held area.
