This double story Victorian period townhouse is over one hundred years old, of solid sound-absorbing brick construction, with high ceilings and generous proportions in living areas and bedrooms. Freshly painted throughout, this charming residence is one you’ll be proud to call home.
The first floor offers 2 double built-in bedrooms with panel heaters, plus a 3rd smaller single bedroom or study/nursery. The whole floor is carpeted and has plenty of power points.
The light-filled ground floor has a separate hallway leading onto a large, open-plan carpeted lounge with picture bay window, decorative cornice and original fireplace with timber mantle. The dining room is one step up and features polished floorboards, double-hung window for light and a wood fire heater built into the fireplace. Each area has original skirts and architraves and wonderful ornate ceiling roses. Heating is by new heat pump or for a more cosy atmosphere you can stoke up the wood fire. The windows have quality drapes and all ground floor windows, (and rear facing first floor windows) are secured with master-keyed locks for peace of mind.
The tiled galley kitchen is compact but functional, with brand new cabinets, timber benchtop and vented range hood. The electric stove has a ceramic cooktop, seperate grill, oven timer and warming drawer. A new toilet, tapware and wall hung vanity have been installed in the bathroom, which has a shower-over-bath and an exhaust fan. There’s a roomy linnen cupboard in the hallway near the kitchen/bathroom entrances and another cupboard under the stairs which can accommodate longer storage items. Outside the kitchen is a built-in laundry with wash tub. A clothes dryer and washing machine are available if required.
Parking is via a laneway off Ryde St and accommodates 1 or 2 cars. There is also ample unregulated street parking. The terraced back yard includes easy-care landscaped gardens and a sunny clothes line. If you work or study in town, you can either walk or catch the bus right across the road. There’s a Thai restaurant diagonally opposite, a corner store a block away and the Elizabeth St shopping and dining strip is within easy walking distance. Football fans will love the proximity to North Hobart Oval which is also across the road.
Altogether, this is a lovely home in excellent condition and in a superb location. Pets can be considered. Furniture negotiable.
