Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication
Imagine….. You wake to answer a few emails, overlooking the rooftops of the surrounding homes to the River Derwent. You hear your children stir from their beds and race down to greet them for breakfast while your youngest collects some fruit to go on top. Your young family prepare themselves for the day ahead in the spacious cottage they call home. Out the door and off to school you wave at the front door as they cross the road, and you lose sight of them as they enter their classroom just 150m away. However, this was not always the case;
You might be interested to know that more than 12,000 Hobart locals call the suburb of Sandy Bay home. Its recent history includes European settlement in 1808; some of Tasmania's first horse racing on its sandy beaches; and the establishment of Princes Street Primary School just one year shy of a century ago. The school's neighbour, 96 Princes Street, has provided sanctuary to its inhabitants for even longer¬, 111 years to be exact!
Don't let the era of this weatherboard beauty mislead you, like a fine single malt whisky this home has only gotten better with age. As soon as you walk through its front door any worries from your day will simply melt away as you breathe easy in this inner-city haven.
Polished floorboards and high ceilings greet you before you make your way down the hall to the expansive and light filled open plan living, dining and kitchen. This home is made for entertaining with the large kitchen (including an abundance of storage space and pantry) effortlessly flowing outside onto a paved and decked outdoor area. Watch your children run free in the large and exceedingly private backyard while you sit back and enjoy a well-deserved break.
This three-bedroom, two-bathroom home (main with large walk-through robe and ensuite) is completed by an expansive skylight above the open plan living area; loft space perfect for an office or guest room with views to King Street and across towards Dynnyrne; and the potential to add off street parking for two vehicles from King Street.
As the children return from their day of activities, the park beckons. A quick stroll out the back gate onto King St, down to play on the "big slide" of Parliament Street Reserve and a walk through Fitzroy Gardens to finish the day and off to bed it is. Time to relax in front of the fireplace and ponder the day that has been.
Concerned with the parking? Not to worry, the owners had approval from HCC for a double carport off King Street however they did not act on it. Subject to council consideration this could be re-submitted for by the new owners.
With local parks, cafes and grocer, the Sandy Bay shopping precinct, Salamanca, the CBD, and an abundance of school options (Princes Street Primary School is quite literally a stone's throw away) within walking distance, 96 Princes Street offers every convenience imaginable.
