12 Lansdowne Crescent

West Hobart TAS 7000

Here s something you can leave your mark on. Full of soul and features from 1915, it is as solid as the day it was built and you don t have to live with design choices that someone else has left behind. Clever creative types might work with what s there, others may throw caution to the wind and modernise to the ninth degree.
It s a conjoined (on the end of the row), inner city dwelling, with a mix of gentrified fretwork, sandstone and handsome red brick. Original mantles pieces, deep skirtings, ceiling roses, wooden bannisters - all in great nick, decorative but in no way overdone adorn almost every room from the three bedrooms to the kitchen. It hasn t changed hands for over fifty years and sits pretty waiting for the attention it deserves.
In West Hobart, near Lansdowne Crescent Primary School, parks and the Hill Street Grocer, 12 Lansdowne Crescent is hot property in one of the most discretely urbane suburbs in Hobart. Some may refer to it as Bohemian, hip, cool or trendy; the locals would probably call it a community. Sprayed with cafes and restaurants so you can stay local, it s also a mellow walk to the North Hobart food scene and a slightly more vigorous foot trip to the city.
