Situated in the quiet, top end of Burnett St, this almost hidden gem is waiting for a sensitive makeover to both modernise it and return it to its past glory.
Built around the turn of the 20th Century in Federation style, this home has retained many of the original features including stained glass windows around the front door, an ornate fire surround, picture-rails, deep skirting-boards and timber sash windows.
Its present layout offers 3 very generously sized bedrooms, and a large separate living-room with a spacious adjoining kitchen-dining area. An elegant verandah runs around three sides of the house encompassing the living areas, with double doors opening onto it from both rooms. The back of the house faces north and is drenched in sunshine: an ideal space for a modern kitchen and living area renovation.
A shared driveway from Arthur St gives access to the concreted, level backyard where there is ample parking for 3 cars. There is also a workshop with a secure roller door that could easily be converted to a studio or simply used as storage space. With the back yard facing north and being level, some creative planning, could see an attractive garden and practical, sun-drenched outdoor living area being developed, whilst still providing off street parking.
Being close to the West Hobart boundary and on the outskirts of the North Hobart shopping precinct, this home is in an extremely popular area. Although only a block away from the hustle and bustle of North Hobart with its shops, cinema and popular cafés and restaurants, its location allows it easy access to the facilities, whilst providing privacy and a peaceful atmosphere.
Both private and public schools are within a 5 kilometre radius, some being within easy walking distance. The Hobart CBD and waterfront, with all the culture and commerce they have to offer, are also very accessible either by car, public transport or on foot. This property is definitely an excellent prospect for the discerning buyer.
