They don't come much more 'inner city' than this!
This uniquely located property is accessed via a discreet laneway leading to your own enchanted little tea-garden. At its centre is a (c1880) two bedroom cottage surrounded by a very private lawn area, mature shrubs, trees and a patio kitchen garden.
Anyone who's visited the Royal Hobart Botanical Gardens might be familiar with a feature there called 'The Arthur Wall', constructed to allow the first settlers to extend their food growing season into Winter by creating a 'warm micro-climate' between the surrounding walls...
Because this property is bordered by walls on two sides, the added sunshine creates an area that consistently sits a couple of degrees above the surrounding temperature. That warmth is stored in the home's double-brick walls for release during the night. In Summer, the garden's leafy foliage provides protective shade against Hobart's few hot days. It's old fashioned 'solar passive' technology but it works!
The cottage itself is incredibly solid, featuring the original timber window-frames and high ceilings. Inside, you have two open fireplaces, a lounge room, kitchen, dining nook and two bedrooms. The Northern side of the home also offers a more recently added bathroom and laundry with access through to a delightful patio-entertaining area.
This property will really suit a single professional or couple wanting to invest in a private inner-city home with plenty of character. Everything the city has to offer is within easy reach so you can leave the car behind and enjoy a walking lifestyle. If you'd like to know more simply call now and arrange your chance to inspect...
