Waterfront lifestyle beckons

THEREARE spectacular views across the River Derwent to the city andmtwellington from this older home located waterside and within a short of distance of beaches, shops and services.

With a leafy, established garden with roses and manferns, the property is virtually waterfront with a rear gate to a narrow reserve with walking trail before the rocky water’s edge.

The home is in good condition with an essentially neutral decor and it is wheelchair friendly.

Because of its superb location, a substantial make-over is unlikely to lead to over-capitalisation.

It has a concrete front driveway that branches to an attached carport and down to a quite spacious, under-house garageworkshop (18m2) with a roller door and rear access to the securely fenced backyard with a timber shed/studio (7.5m2) with power connected.

From a porchway, there’s a tiled entrance foyer with a built-in coat closet and then a spacious livingdining room with an in-built wood heater and a door to a sunny family room with picture windows with splendid harbour views.

Also adjoining is a formal lounge or large bedroom and a practical, eat-in kitchen with a cork-tiled floor, which extends into a laundry with a door to a side porch with a timber ramp down to the grounds.

Along a carpeted hallway is a wheelchair-friendly bathroom and a separate toilet, and then three bedrooms – the main has a built-in wardrobe and drawers.

It is the first time in 60 years that this original family home has been on the market.
