224 Invermay Road

Mowbray TAS 7248

This is a unique property which has an enormous amount of potential. Situated on a large 889 m2 block close to the corner of Invermay Road and Conway Street, the home was built in 1920 and has original character features typical of the era. These are high ceilings, picture rails, beautiful fireplace surrounds, original doors and Tasmanian oak flooring in original condition.It is of weatherboard construction and has had some renovation work done on it at the back section of the home. A new back wall incorporates two new bay windows for the kitchen and bathroom plus a three section glass wall with single slider in the living/dining area. This provides access to the east facing deck and beautifully captures both sun and views. All new windows are double glazed. The lovely fully renovated bathroom offers a shower over the spa bath, a long double vanity unit as well as a toilet. The separate laundry is in this area as well.The floor plan is typical of the era as well with a large central hallway (with distinctive central fretwork) giving access to three bedrooms and formal lounge at the front. Access to the bathroom, laundry and family areas are to the left and right at the end of the hallway. Two of the bedrooms have built-ins. There is also a veranda at the front and lots of under house storage at the back.The family/ kitchen area faces east, so it is beautifully warm and bright in the mornings. The kitchen has had something of a makeover with new sink, bench tops and unfinshed cabinetry and cupboards. It is a good work space which is very functional as it is. You can complete it at your leisure.The roof was replaced six years ago, and the ceiling is insulated with Charlie Fluff. There are two heat pumps, one for each of the living areas. There is also NBN at the property.The slightly sloping block offers city and scenic views and with the home predominantly at the front of the block, the back yard is full of potential for development. There is an existing double garage at the right back corner and there are two magnificent fruit bearing apricot trees along the fence line as well as other fruit trees. The property is in a handy location, situated within walking distance of the Mowbray shopping centre, supermarkets and eateries and on the major bus route to the city. If you are a tradie, first home buyer or renovator/investor, this property is a must see for you!
