Tucked away from the street on a generous 1,394 m² block, this two-bedroom South Hobart cottage is perfect for young professionals, small families and nature lovers who want room to grow without giving up quick access to the city.
Inside, the home is warm and welcoming. Tas oak floorboards run through the kitchen, dining and living areas, with soft neutral walls and timber trims giving it a classic Hobart feel. The living room is light and comfortable, with an electric fan heater and skylights creating an easy place to unwind after work, supported by radiant panel heaters throughout the home for day-to-day comfort. A 1 kW solar panel system helps keep running costs in check, while a rainwater tank plumbed to the toilets and washing machine supports more sustainable day-to-day living.
The practical kitchen overlooks the deck and bush, with timber cabinetry, dishwasher and upright stove, and plenty of scope to update over time. Both bedrooms are genuine doubles with built-in wardrobes, while the retro mint-green bathroom - complete with matching tub and basin - has been freshened with crisp white tiling and a clear glass shower screen. A separate toilet adds everyday convenience.
Sliding doors connect the kitchen to a peaceful, private back deck that looks straight into the treetops of South Hobart and out to kunanyi - an easy spot for a quiet coffee or relaxed dinner outdoors. From here, steps lead down to the huge backyard where there's space for kids, pets, veggie beds and future ideas, with the land running all the way to the Hobart Rivulet at the rear, where there have even been platypus sightings. Further down the garden, a second deck with a wood-fired pizza oven offers another place to gather with family and friends. (As always, any extension or ancillary dwelling would be subject to council approval.)
Under the house you'll find a good-sized workshop and laundry area, ideal for bikes, camping gear and tools. There is excellent off-street parking as well, with a carport and room for a total of three vehicles, which is rare for South Hobart at this price point.
From here you can wander straight onto nearby nature trails towards kunanyi, or stroll and cycle down the rivulet path to the cafés, bakery and shops of South Hobart village and on to the waterfront and CBD about 4 km away.
55 Strickland Avenue offers a peaceful, bush-side lifestyle with city convenience - a comfortable home you can enjoy now and a big block that can keep pace with your plans in the years ahead.
