You can imagine Diver Dan from the popular TV series Sea Change walking out of the front door of this character-filled beach shack, sitting on the top ridge of one of the prime locations overlooking Kingston Beach in Roslyn Avenue.

In fact, this is one of the original beach shacks, built in the war time in the 1940s, when Kingston Beach was a holiday destination for Hobartians. Many of its original features are still featured throughout the shack. Actually, little has changed, but that is its charm.

So there are a myriad of options. It can be retained in its original form and renovated by an energetic couple keen to buy into a prestige location close to the beach, or it can be redeveloped by an investor.

Next door, the block of land has seen the development of three luxurious apartments. Land size is of this property is 0.0625 hectares.

Its location is what this house is all about. It really is quite magnificent looking through the louvred windows directly over the football oval to the beautiful Kingston Beach area. It is a stunning spot. You are unable to be built out, guaranteeing the view forever. And of course, it is just a 5 minute walk to the beach and caf strip as well as all other services.

The property currently has two bedrooms, one is huge. The second overlooks the beach and captures the glorious morning sunshine.

The dining and living area splits the two bedrooms and has original floorboards. The kitchen is off this area and is cosy and cute with red and blue panels and an original pot belly stove. There is a timber deck to enjoy the views and the scent of the sea breeze.

The laundry and bathroom are behind the kitchen off the front entrance.

There is parking for two cars but when all is said and done, you just need imagination to create a wonderful home from this prime location. That is what you are buying here.
