It’s a phrase you read often in real estate pages, but this classic home in an excellent position is definitely a renovator’s delight, a perfect entry level buy into one of Hobart’s prestige suburbs.

Built in 1910, the beautiful features of the period are still intact. These include two lovely fireplaces in the two front rooms, ornate ceiling cornices, 12 foot high ceilings, wide hallway and sunroom at the front which could easily be converted back to a lovely verandah.

You will just need imagination and some hard work to return this lovely dame to her former glory.

It is one of four homes built in the street by the Isles family at the turn of the century. All had four rooms. Since then, a kitchen and bathroom were added at the rear, but these obviously will be easy to remove and to add a fantastic extension.

There is a great flat backyard which captures all of the afternoon sunshine, so a casual dining, kitchen and living sunroom will be a great addition. Equally, you could go upwards to make a substantial family home (STCA).

There is off street parking up a side driveway, an asset in this location.

This is currently a three bedroom home, but it can easily be enlarged if required.

A rare opportunity to buy into a great address which is walking distance to Sandy Bay shopping precinct, university, schools, recreational facilities and yacht clubs.
