Tucked away in a quiet no-through street, this beautifully preserved 1886 weatherboard cottage blends period charm with modern comfort, all within walking distance of West Hobart’s shops, cafés and schools. Behind the sandstone steps and lace-trimmed verandah, you’re welcomed into a gracious entry hall with high ceilings and ceiling roses that set the tone for the character throughout. The main living and dining room is generous in scale, enhanced by a pretty bay window with a built-in bench seat capturing city views and water glimpses. The dining area flows seamlessly into the galley kitchen, thoughtfully updated with modern appliances and an atrium window framing the picturesque cottage garden. From here, step out to the undercover rear deck – a private, leafy space ideal for morning coffee or relaxed entertaining.

A combined pantry/mudroom sits off the kitchen, along with a family bathroom featuring a bath, separate shower and integrated laundry. The master bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and an ensuite, while a second bedroom completes this level. Downstairs offers excellent flexibility with a third bedroom, an adjoining fourth bedroom and external access to the side yard – perfect for teens, guests or a work-from-home setup. This level also includes an ensuite bathroom. Under the house is a substantial storage room/workshop accessed externally, providing brilliant space for tools, bikes, gardening gear or hobbies – a rare bonus in this city-fringe location. The home is also equipped with solar panels, offering enhanced energy efficiency and lower running costs.

Outside, the gardens are classic cottage style, established and easy to maintain, and the property provides valuable off-street parking for one to two cars, depending on configuration. With a 5-minute stroll to local shops and schools and just a 15-minute walk to the Hobart CBD, this charming home offers the best of West Hobart living – historic character, modern comfort and unbeatable convenience.
