Desirably located in a highly sought after pocket of 'old' Sandy Bay, this expansive circa 1920s home displays attractive original features throughout and enjoys views of kunanyi/Mt Wellington and the River Derwent. Currently used as student accommodation, the flexible floorplan offers immense potential and this property could easily be converted to a family home of grand proportions. The lower level is dedicated to living, with two large formal living rooms on either side of the entrance foyer. Formal and casual dining rooms are adjacent to each, and the kitchen, double bedroom with BIR, bathroom, two powder rooms, laundry/utility room and a store room complete the floorplan. The upper storey accommodates eight bedrooms serviced by two bathrooms and a powder room, and there is a study on this floor. Of solid brick construction, classic original features including the beautiful staircase, picture rails, ornate timber work and joinery, and open fireplaces enhance the character of the home, displaying materials and a level of craftsmanship almost unobtainable in contemporary builds. Outside the home is surrounded by easy care gardens, with further scope for the green thumb to add their own touch. Within close proximity of UTAS and excellent local schools including Hutchins, Fahan and Sandy Bay Infant School, the home is also nearby to the beaches and recreational amenities of Nutgrove, and the cafes and shops of Lower Sandy Bay. With excellent bones, this impressive property offers potential in spades, an enviable lifestyle and address, and the rare opportunity to make your own mark and acquire a substantial holding in this coveted locale.
