Last Listing description (October 2011)

A Charming Blend of Convenience and Flexibility
Built in 1880, this incredibly quaint brick cottage abounds with personality, convenience and old world charm, all in a location which is within walking distance of the CBD, North Hobart restaurants and Salamanca Place. Ideal for singles and couples, or for anyone wanting an in-towner, this property is full of nice surprises.
Comprising: formal dining room with decorative mantle and pleasant outlook, lovely renovated bright kitchen, meals and living area with pressed tin ceiling, a bedroom with built-in wardrobe, a tastefully modernised bathroom and separate chalet. The flexible floor plan allows for the conversion of the dining area into a second bedroom, which is how the property was configured by the previous owners. One of the many benefits this property has to offer is street gas, which is used to fuel the cook top, hot water supply and the very efficient gas heater in the main living area.

The terraced courtyard sized rear yard is nothing less than a suntrap and features a delightful surprise, namely a studio with adjoining laundry and separate second toilet. This building is perfect for anyone who wishes to have a totally independent area from the main house which could be used as a hobby room, study, workshop, rumpus area or another bedroom for when guests need to stay over. The leafy paved area, with its abundance of plants, is large enough for intimate alfresco gatherings, however small enough to easily maintain.
The property has undergone a recent renovation, yet most period features have been preserved which adds further to the property's appeal. The final satisfying feature is the double garage, with its roof top patio area offering you a very pleasant view over part of the city and water glimpses which for an inner city property, is a major drawcard.
So make an appointment and expect yourself to be pleasantly surprised.
