Natural light pours into the lounge and dining space through sliding doors opening onto the balcony - a perfect place to take in the magnificent outlook over Mt Direction, the Bowen and Tasman bridges, casino, Bruny Island, and far beyond. The adjoining kitchen has a granite benchtop, heaps of storage, and direct access outside.Two grandly decorated bedrooms, the master with a built-in wardrobe and an ensuite; a family bathroom with a vanity, separate bath and shower; plus, a wet area with a toilet and laundry facilities complete the upstairs.True to its opulent interior, a curved staircase leads down to two more sizeable bedrooms (both with built-ins), second toilet, and space for a bathroom which has some plumbing installed but remains unfinished. There's also a storage/workshop space that could be converted to a cellar if you prefer, and a large rumpus room.Both upper and lower levels are set on a concrete slab, and the rumpus has its own external door. The room is unlined, but a little work could transform this into a functional space to accommodate larger families.Outside is a carport, lock-up garage, and a greenhouse. The terraced rear yard has huge potential with some further landscaping or clever garden design, and the flat area near the house would be a wonderful spot for entertaining, outdoor dining, or peaceful contemplation.West Hobart is a very popular location, with many conveniences and amenities close by.
