Overview

This 1959 weatherboard house offers a distinctive blend of mid-century character and modernization potential, set in a sought-after Bellerive location. Occupying a generous 728 square meter allotment, it benefits from elevated views across the Derwent River towards kunanyi/Mount Wellington, enhancing the home's natural appeal with abundant sunshine and scenic outlooks throughout the day.

The residence showcases hallmark features of its era, including high ceilings, original ceiling roses, polished timber floors, and feature stained-glass windows that frame a welcoming entrance. The main living space at the front of the house is imbued with personality, boasting timber flooring, corner timber windows, and a brick chimney equipped with a split-system air conditioner, ensuring year-round comfort.

The home’s kitchen, while older in style, is functional and well-appointed with ample storage, positioning it as a strong foundation for future renovation or customization. Adjacent to the kitchen is a natural dining area that allows for fluid entertaining and daily living.

Accommodation includes three bedrooms, with the master bedroom featuring built-in robes. At the rear, a versatile living area provides additional space for families, teenagers, or home office use. This room opens via timber sliding doors to an undercover patio and established garden, fostering an inviting indoor-outdoor connection for relaxed living or entertaining. The space could also be adapted to serve as a fourth bedroom if desired.

The bathroom retains a charming retro aesthetic with a yellow pedestal basin and deep enamelled bath, complemented by a separate walk-in shower and an additional separate toilet, offering practical conveniences while preserving the vintage character.

Externally, the property boasts established gardens in a leafy setting with potential for further landscaping enhancements. A single detached garage includes a powered workshop area, appealing to hobbyists, tradies, and those requiring extra storage or workspace.

Although the home would benefit from general renovation and updating, its original features, sizeable proportions, and flexible living spaces combine with its excellent location to provide a compelling opportunity. This property is ideal for buyers looking to restore mid-century charm, create a contemporary family home, or undertake a creative renovation project.

Conveniently positioned close to quality schools, local shops, public transport, and sporting facilities, the home offers access to key community resources and amenities in one of Bellerive’s desirable residential enclaves.

With its blend of character, views, and potential, this residence invites buyers to envision and realize its next chapter.
