Last Listing description (November 2023)
Perfectly positioned within the historic suburb of Richmond, mere moments from the iconic Richmond Bridge, the oldest in the nation, sits a much-admired, early colonial cottage, filled with endless possibilities, and rejuvenated comfort.
The notable home retains stunning period features of its original 1830s, colonial regency heritage, which now seamlessly blend with renovated, contemporary style. Rich, polished hardwood flooring, lime plaster walls, brick fireplaces, and timber ceilings now co-exist with modern convenience, including a recent rear extension, adding light-filled space to the original four-room cottage.
A versatile floorplan allows for a myriad of living configurations, along with a wide range of other uses (STCA), including short-term accommodation, commercial shopfront, a home office, or professional services. It could also deliver the best of both worlds, as a two-room professional setting combined with convenient living quarters.
Each of the two living rooms feature original converted fireplaces and enjoy plenty of sunshine. The two bedrooms are generous in size and are inclusive of built-in wardrobes. A sophisticated, simplistic bathroom services the home, with a floating vanity, shower, and a toilet.
The modern kitchen within the contemporary annex comes fully equipped with premium appliances, ample storage, and sleek countertops. There's also room to conveniently house laundry essentials. Sun-drenched dining is incorporated within, spilling out to the glorious garden courtyard, where verdant florals and greenery encase the al fresco space.
Within the gated grounds, there's also a sunny timber deck overlooking the easy to care for gardens. Plenty of off-street parking is also available on-site.
The property sits within an easy stroll to the riverside walking tracks, parklands, and picnic areas, along with iconic churches and architecture, village cafes, restaurants, bars, and essential services.
Ideally located to take full advantage of the many amenities of Richmond, all within a 25-minute drive of the airport, and Hobart's CBD, this remarkable cottage, filled with character, charm, and now complete modern comfort offers endless potential in a highly sought-after position.
