Last Listing description (September 2022)

Here is a rare opportunity to experience convenient living and low maintenance outdoor space in this three-bedroom downstairs unit, located in a quiet and leafy corner of always-popular New Town. Built in 1972, and one of just two strata title units on the private internal block, this impressive property will attract a range of purchasers.

The light and sunny open plan living area includes an upgraded kitchen with induction cooktop, and plenty of storage, and there is room for dining with a pleasant outlook. The lounge is a cosy and inviting space with direct access to the elevated deck and rear garden. There is a reverse cycle air conditioner to keep you comfortable at any time of year.


All three bedrooms have a private and peaceful ambiance, with generous built-in storage in the master bedroom. There are combined laundry and bathroom facilities - and additional luxury of a heated towel rail - and the toilet is located separately.

Bask in the sun on the north-facing timber deck and enjoy relaxed outdoor dining or moments of tranquil solitude. The nicely sized 282sqm block easily accommodates low-maintenance open garden space, a BBQ area and a garden shed. There is also a single carport, and recently replaced guttering, facias and downpipes on the whole building. A generous storage area underneath is an ideal place to secure your bikes and garden tools. From underneath the solid Tasmanian Oak floorboards are revealed. Presently the unit is carpeted.

This is an unbeatable location, with ideal proximity to local services and attractions. Walk to the New Town Nursery Caf, New Town Plaza - with so many shops to choose from - in just over 5 minutes, and there are a number of well-regarded schools and childcare facilities less than 1km away. Just around the corner on Park St is a regular bus service, and you can drive into central Hobart in less than 10 minutes. Link up to the Intercity Cycleway right at the end of Bay Rd, which will easily get you to popular Cornelian Bay playground and recreation area - a grand day out for the whole family.

Tenanted until January 2023 at $440 per week - this property could be a fantastic addition to your investment portfolio, the perfect chance to downsize, or to secure your future with a centrally located and low-maintenance first home.

You won't want to miss this opportunity for quiet, convenient and low maintenance living in such an enviable location. Contact Mel to arrange an inspection by appointment, adhering to the required period of notice to tenants and the respectful request to wear a face mask and sanitise prior to entering the property, with thanks for your co-operation and understanding.
