1 Tower Road

New Town TAS 7008

King or Queen of the Castle!
Here is a rare opportunity to purchase one of Tasmania???s most widely known high profile landmarks. This imposing building was erected in 1850 as a country retreat for William Route, a founding member of the anti transportation league and sits on 3 titles totalling 835 sq meters or thereabouts. The floor area of the building is approximately 247 sq meters and there are a multitude of out buildings surrounding a court yard. The property has a right of way to allow rear access. The original features of this interesting building give you the feeling that you are walking through history. The ambience of the 1850???s is evident in the marble fire places, the spiral staircase and the 3 foot thick walls with there aged wood panelling. Yes it will need renovating but the opportunities that this landmark offers are only limited by your imagination. Just a ten minute drive to the centre of Hobart or only two minutes to the various nearby shopping centres and sports grounds. The tower is built of sandstone and enjoys panoramic views of mount Wellington and the suburbs. Part of the lower floor is built of weatherboard with a pleasant outlook to the large front yard through French windows. The property is registered with the National Trust and would be a great project property along the lines of ???Grand Designs??? or a highly desirable piece of real estate for someone requiring a high profile location.
