Last Listing description (October 2020)
This exceptionally rare single-frontage Victorian cottage (circa 1890's) has been fastidiously maintained and kept completely authentic to its heritage. History enthusiasts and lovers of architecture will marvel at how every small detail of the home faithfully respects the era of construction so much so that with little imagination one is transported back in time to the 'Gilded Age'. So, make sure you bring your top hat and veiled bonnets to the inspection!
While the presentation of the home is authentic, all of the trappings of modern comforts are still present. Hidden away in the background is an electric heater disguised as a Victorian wood stove, a walk in robe behind a false wall in the main bedroom, a reverse cycle air conditioner controls year round climate, there's an efficient solar hot-water system, and the scullery maid will be grateful for the soft-close drawers and dishwasher!
The build-standard is from another world, constructed during economic hard times when re-appropriated boat builders and labourers had plenty of time to 'do it right'. Consequently, the gleaming original floorboards and staircase do not creak a jot, there is no movement in the sandstone footings, and the solid, reassuring feeling of quality exudes from every room. The veranda roof and guttering is only a year old, and the weatherboards have been freshly painted in a colour scheme sympathetic to the 'Mauve Decade'.
Other characterful delights include the anaglypta, timber dados, ceiling roses adorned in genuine colour schemes, sash windows, claw-foot bath, and high ceilings.
Outside is a pleasant, private, and sunny courtyard, tiered garden, as well as two well laid out workshops/sheds for those who like to tinker at their hobby.
Set on the fringe of the city, urban convenience is a given being less than one kilometre from Centrepoint Hobart. You can walk to work and enjoy the many freedoms this allows.
For those who want a home with charming, unspoiled soul, together with easy care modern comfort in a blue-chip location, then best take the next coach to this address, and don't spare the horses!
