Character home in a convenient location

THIS stunning period house retains all the characteristics of the 1930s when it was built while also being contemporary in its form and function.

Perhaps the No. 1 feature of the house is the wonderful location.

Bellerive Beach and park are located directly across the road, as is the Bellerive Quay with access to water taxis that can take you to the Hobart waterfront in just 10 minutes.

Blundstone Arena is also close by.

This Californian bungalow-style house was extended and renovated seven years ago to add more room at the rear and create a larger bathroom.

The abode features wide hallways, high ceilings, beautifully detailed leadlighting and a front veranda overlooking the park and the rolling waves of the beach.

The three large bedrooms are located at the front of the house and all contain converted fireplaces.

The formal living area is also part of the original house and boasts all the charm and character you would expect of the era.

The near-new bathroom includes a separate shower and bath.

Asmall powder room can be found in the extension. The kitchen with timber cabinetry and all modern conveniences form the heart of the new addition.

Asunny second living area leads out to the paved courtyard, which is ideal for entertaining.

The double garage provides plenty of storage opportunities and a central alarm system keeps everything secure.
