Last Listing description (October 2019)

Once considered a 'working-class' suburb up until the 1960's, the West Hobart of today is now a far cry from its early roots. Now becoming one of the most sought after areas in Southern Tasmania due to its close vicinity to the city centre, character homes and some of the most breathtaking views of Hobart.

Encompassing over 170m2 of internal living space, the potential for 4 or even 5 bedrooms, large living and lounge/formal dining area, open kitchen and meals section one look at the floor plan and you'll understand the beautiful scope of potential this property offers.

The driveway leads down to a private backyard and concreted area that could be transformed into an external BBQ and entertaining area.

With stunning high ceilings and historic appeal, the evolution of this beautiful family home will be something to behold.

When Schubert's Symphony No. 8 was left unfinished, it led many people to speculate as to why: Was it associated with his illness or was he distracted by inspiration of his piece Wander Fantasy for solo piano. Either way, it is undeniable that in his wake, he left something beautiful.

And so, it is with 6 Forbes Ave, an unfinished symphony that awaits you and your imagination to complete and thus be able to showcase your masterpiece to the world.
