Description

An array of possibility One of the most recognisable properties among Battery Point's charming streetscape, this combined house and retail space presents a fantastic opportunity to anyone looking for a unique and spacious home with the flexibility to operate a business or studio in the same location - all just minutes from Hobart's city centre and popular local attractions.

Constructed circa1930, the building has an interesting heritage, with the front studio previously operating as the Colville Street Gallery, a grocery store, and the second Battery Point post office. With commercial zoning, dual driveway, NBN connection, and two power meters - it is perfectly set up to continue as a business. However, with a successful application to council for a 'change of use' to residential and some modifications, a larger family could easily be accommodated here.

Downstairs, you will find a generously proportioned studio with a bathroom and fully equipped kitchen. There is ample storage space at the rear, as well as access to a small separate courtyard.

Glass doors connect the studio to the main residence - this part of the property consists of two double bedrooms and a bathroom with corner shower, vanity, and toilet. There is also underfloor electric heating to keep everyone comfortable throughout the year.

Attracting all day sun and water views, the upstairs lounge and kitchen with ample storage is a private and peaceful area, and the balcony overlooking the glorious Derwent River is an ideal spot for a relaxed breakfast or afternoon refreshments. Views extend to the Tasman Bridge, Casino and Mount Nelson and St George's Church lit at night is a highlight.

The 330sqm block includes a very pleasant yard with established fruit trees - lemon, Kentish cherry, and fig trees - and a great lawn area for kids and pets to play, or to entertain with friends. Off-street parking is also available. With a dog walking beach in one direction and a park in the other, all the family members are catered for.

Set in a convenient and tightly held location just 2km from Hobart's CBD, and a short stroll to quaint Battery Point village or vibrant Salamanca Place (think cafés, restaurants and bars only five minutes from home). There are plenty of shops and services in Sandy Bay, schools and UTAS campus close by, as well as many parks and magnificent beaches in the area.

A versatile home that will suit either a thriving business or spacious family living, be prepared to fall in love with this outstanding property in beautiful historic Battery Point. Opportunities like this don't come around often, so call Mel at your earliest convenience to arrange a viewing time!
