Organic living, minutes from Hobart CBD

Enviously positioned within easy walking distance to the centre of Hobart, this solid, circa 1915 cottage, was built as the carriage driver's residence for one of the original farm estates on the Hobart Rivulet. Surviving the 1967 bushfires, and standing the test of time this home could reveal many a story from its occupants over the years, and as sad as it may be to finish another chapter, this home eagerly awaits to start the next, and its story is far from over.

For those who desire a sustainable lifestyle, this cottage is well on the way. The edible garden, which has been maintained organically since 2001, is planted out with an array of herbs, medicinal plants and a selection of producing fruit trees, which include a nectarine, lemon, Moorpark apricot and 2 varieties of pear.

Like many designs complimentary of the era, this home offers 3 very generously sized bedrooms, all appreciating their own unique aspect. With gorgeous 3000mm high ceilings and original King Billy Pine windows throughout, with a little restoration this home has the potential to be a magnificent residence.

Windows in the semi open plan living, kitchen and dining space frame Mount Wellington (Kunanyi) and the surrounding hills perfectly. With an outlook such as this, one could easily forget they were right on the doorstep of the Hobart CBD.

The home has been re-roofed, has insulated ceilings and the comfort of a Jindara wood stove keeping you warm in the cooler months, whilst cooking your favourite comfort meals and filling your home with indulgent aromas.

The land itself of approximately 371sqm, zoned inner residential, has driveway access from excel lane and may also lend itself to further development potential STCA.

Situated close proximity to boutique eateries, bakery and gourmet grocer. Within a short distance to South Hobart Primary, Albuera Street Primary and the highly Regarded St Michaels Collegiate. As well as on the doorstep of a variety of recreation walking and bike riding tracks including Hobart Rivulet, Cascade Track and Knocklofty reserve, this is a location not to miss.
