1/79 Strickland Ave, South Hobart is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom Unit and was built in 1977. The property has a land size of 120m2 and floor size of 77m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in November 2021.
Tucked away in one of South Hobart's most picturesque pockets, this sunny two-bedroom home offers an increasingly rare combination, the tranquillity of a bushland retreat with the convenience of inner-city living.
Surrounded by established greenery, with the Hobart Rivulet adding to the beautiful natural setting and kunanyi / Mount Wellington rising beyond, there is an immediate sense of calm here. It feels wonderfully removed, yet South Hobart's village atmosphere, cafs and everyday conveniences are close at hand, with the Hobart CBD only a short commute away.
Inside, the home is bright, comfortable and refreshingly easy to live in. Generous windows bring the leafy surrounds and natural light into the open living and dining spaces, while the separate kitchen is well appointed with excellent storage and a practical servery connection to the dining area.
Both bedrooms are generously proportioned and include built-in robes, with a centrally positioned bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, generous vanity and integrated laundry facilities. Solar hot water adds another practical and energy-conscious inclusion.
A major point of difference is the substantial under-house garage and multipurpose area. Measuring approximately 7m x 6.2m, the space comfortably accommodates secure vehicle parking while still providing an impressive amount of additional room for bikes, storage, a workshop, home gym or creative workspace. For buyers looking to add further functionality, the scale of this area also presents exciting potential for future adaptation or improvement, subject to the relevant approvals.
But it is the setting that makes this home memorable. Sunshine filters through the surrounding landscape, the rivulet and nearby walking trails invite you outdoors, and some of Hobart's best mountain biking and recreational tracks are virtually on your doorstep. It is a location that allows you to feel connected to nature without giving up the advantages of city life.
For first-home buyers, professionals, downsizers or investors, this is an exceptionally appealing opportunity to secure a low-maintenance home in one of Hobart's most enduringly desirable suburbs.
Sunny, peaceful and wonderfully connected, this is South Hobart living at its best.
