Situated on the crest of the hill in Forest Rd, West Hobart, this three bedroom brick home has wonderful views of Hobart's harbour with the hills of Sandy Bay and the Eastern Shore to the south, and the Tasman Bridge and Derwent River to the north. Set on 1072m2 of land, the property faces north-east and is bathed in sunshine throughout the day, with its qualities and potential for further expansion of the home being revealed as one progresses from the street to the back boundary. Solidly built in 1968 with views from all the main rooms, the home has polished boards throughout, and comprises 3 bedrooms, a bathroom, plus a semi-open plan kitchen, living and dining spaces. This house sits at the street end of the block; beyond is the landscaped garden that is both functional and attractive. The land gently slopes away from the house and the current owners have maximised the sunny aspect by terracing and decking the area, creating relaxing outdoor spaces and easily accessed raised beds for growing both vegetables and ornamentals. A 23m2 storage shed with adjoining 11m2 workshop also enjoys the sunshine and views and with minor modifications could be converted into a stylish outdoor entertainment hub or with internal lining, provide further accommodation. At the far end of the block is the serious food production zone: a substantial hen house, raised vegie beds and a potting shed, plus multiple fruit trees ranging from apples, pears and plums, to apricots, cherries, peaches, nectarines, figs and olives. Located in West Hobart, this property is less than 5 minutes' drive from both Hobart's CBD and the popular North Hobart shopping strip with its variety of cafés, restaurants, bars and cinemas. There are numerous public and private schools within a 2 km radius and a regular bus service approximately 5 minutes' walk down the road; whilst 150 metres up Forest Rd is the first of the beautiful bush-walking tracks of Knock Lofty. Not only is this a well-built and maintained property with wonderful views but there is definite potential for development, making it a most attractive proposition for the astute buyer looking for a sustainable, city lifestyle. Highlights: • North-east facing 1072m2 landscaped property bathed in all-day sunshine • Stunning views from north of the Tasman Bridge to the hills of Sandy Bay • Solid, well-maintained, brick home with scope for expansion • Short drive from both the Hobart CBD and North Hobart shopping precinct
