6 Watkins Avenue

West Hobart TAS 7000

Although now in need of upgrading this home boasts a particularly solid appeal. For example, the Tassie Oak floors are extremely stable under foot and the brickwork, although laid nearly 90 years ago, appears true to its original lines.
Approximately 133sqm in all, the home itself offers 2 double bedrooms, the master being massive, there are 3 living areas in total. The lounge is extremely spacious with the original ornate fire surround intact. The dining room is also comprised of very generous proportions and by the way either the lounge or dining could easily be converted to a well located third bedroom. There is also a huge living area at the rear of the home which once may have been an open verandah. This area and the adjoining kitchen capture all of the close City, North Hobart, Glebe and Eastern Shore views on offer plus glimpses of the Derwent Estuary.
Add to all of the above a downstairs laundry complete with original copper and ample dry under house storage. This plus an uplifting gnome filled low maintenance garden and perfectly positioned north facing sundeck, ideal for taking in your daily dose of vitamin D whilst enjoying all that wonderful vista on offer. Infact sunshine itself is a major attribute of this property. This is something often taken for granted and yet impossible to manufacture.
This location, in a subdivision developed by Tasmania s longest serving Premier Sir Robert Cosgrove in the late 1920s, in what is possibly our most highly sought city suburb of West Hobart, is just so convenient. Within an easy walking distance of Guilford Young and Elizabeth Colleges, all within just a 10 to 15 minute walk of the Hobart City centre, with all services close at hand, around another 10 minute walk further on and one will find themselves at Hobart s waterfront and the historic Salamanca precinct.
