22 Bedford Street

New Town TAS 7008

This is a unique property. Not only is there a substantial 16+sq house, but it is set on a massive block of 2,297m2 in New Town. Perfect for a large family requiring space or even someone wanting to start a market garden. All this in a quiet street, a few minutes drive to Hobart's CBD.
The house was built in 1925 in the Californian Bungalow style and still retains many of the original features such as large rooms, 9' 4.5' ceilings, Australian themed stained glass windows, hallway fretwork, timber picture rails, double hung timber windows, wide Baltic pine skirting boards and wooden floors. It comprises four double size bedrooms, one bathroom and a garage with internal access. Two of the bedrooms have deep windowsills. One of the bedrooms has the original open fire place. The bathroom still has the original vanity and claw-foot bathtub. The entrance foyer is larger than most bedrooms in modern houses. The interior has not been touched since the early 60's, therefore the kitchen and bathroom require renovation.
The property has over 40 productive fruit trees. The backyard has an orchard with many old varieties of apple trees. There are also pear, olive, fig, plum, lemon, mandarin and grapefruit trees scattered around the property. Even a walnut tree and grape and passion fruit vines. There is plenty of room left for a productive veggie patch and for the kids/pets to run around in safety.
