Last Listing description (April 2021)

Positioned in a highly sought-after area of New Town with charming street appeal.

This circa 1920 family home in excellent condition offers relaxed, easy living in an ultra convenient location. A well-designed floorplan and with high ceilings and spacious rooms make this the perfect city pad. This gorgeous property would certainly benefit from some cosmetic upgrades at the hands of its next fortunate owner but what an extremely pleasant task and a labour of love.

Set across one level, the house features two living areas with three double bedrooms and one large bathroom serviced by a separate laundry and very functional kitchen. Heating and cooling is supplied by a reverse cycle air conditioner plus a wood heater for when winter arrives. There is also a classic federation style front balcony overlooking the front yard making a perfect spot for outdoor entertaining or a family BBQ. The rear of the property features a semi enclosed carport, lock up storage area plus courtyard.

A short walk down Forster St puts you at all shopping facilities including Supermarkets, Kmart, Bakery, Liquor store, Cafes etc. Glorious views of Mt Wellington are also at your disposal.

Suitable for either a family home or an investment property, either you or your tenants can simply move in and enjoy a vibrant inner-city lifestyle close to cafes, shops, excellent schools, the North Hobart dining strip, Hobart CBD and the waterfront.
