This delightful, 1945 sea-side cottage has the charm and feel of an authentic holiday shack while offering modern comforts and conveniences. It has been converted for open plan living and comfortably sleeps four people.
Renovations have included a new bathroom, rewiring, new water tanks (including downpipes and absorption trenches) and more. New plumbing is in place for a new kitchen to be added as well.
The cottage currently offers one bedroom but there is scope to add another by either converting the large storeroom to a small bedroom/bunkroom; or relocate the kitchen to this storeroom and make the larger kitchen space into another bedroom. A sheltered deck off the lounge room is a perfect spot to enjoy a leisurely breakfast.
The North West aspect of this allotment, as well as the elevated position, opens up the vista across the River Derwent to Mount Wellington and Hobart. This also ensures plenty of winter sunshine and the best vantage point to watch the sun set behind the mountain; or the city lights on the river; or the yachts race to the finish line.
A lovely walk-way under sheltering Casurina trees leads to a small, timber gazebo. A place for quiet contemplation and relaxation while drinking in the amazing outlook. A walk along the rock shelf below, leads to Opossum Beach in one direction and the more private Mitchells Beach in the other.
Opossum Bay is a quiet, charming sea-side village with beautiful beaches, bountiful fishing grounds and easy travel to Hobart and the airport (approx 45 minutes to each). In recent years it has undergone a transformation from small holiday shacks into a prestige homes area.
The Clarence City Council Planning Scheme (2006) places strict controls on any development located in coastal areas which makes this property highly desirable as all approvals for building a new residence on site are in place.
The Vendors also own two adjoining allotments (both with all approvals) and would consider selling all three as a package.
