Solid step in right direction

ELEVATEDABOVE the quiet nothrough street, this solid home dates back to 1925 but has been nicely upgraded.

With a leafy, established garden, it has pleasant urban views across to the Queen’s Domain and is within walking distance of the North Hobart retail strip with its cafes and restaurants.

The house has been re-wired, re-plumbed and re-roofed. It has a front portico with a timber soffit, then a carpeted entrance foyer with stuccoed walls, picture rails and a fretwork arch before a central hallway with built-in storage.

There is a loungeroom with an electric log fire, picture rails and a retro chandelier.

There are three good-sized bedrooms, with two being interlinked.

There are two bathrooms, a powder room and an upgraded blackwood kitchen with a skylight and island workbench, a stove set into a high fireplace, a dual sink, a dishwasher, a pull-out pantry and a polished Tas oak floor extending into a dining area.

Arear vestibule with a skylight has two french doors to a rear paved area and the terraced back yard, which contains a handy studio with a rumpus room or workshop underneath.

The studio has a kitchenette, a shower bay and a toilet, but it does require amake-over.

The property has good offstreet parking in the concrete side driveway, which runs up to a carport, which has been lattice-screened as a barbecue or play area.
