BEAUTIFULLY situated off Secheron Road and Clarke Avenue, with a garden that borders Hampden Road, the position of this Battery Point property is simply superb.
It is a mere stroll to AJ White Park, the Hobart waterfront and the bustle of Hampden Road’s restaurant precinct.
Known as The Stables, the property dates back to 1900.
It has been sensitively and cleverly converted from the original stables and a warehouse from a neighbouring property into to a lovely, contemporary abode.
The interiors and garden have been recently enhanced and renovated.
Location, location…
Sunny spot to sit.
Improvements include a stylish new bathroom and laundry/toilet that services the accommodation.
There are two double-size bedrooms with built-in joinery positioned on the upper level.
The master bedroom has a nice ambience courtesy of the soft light and river vistas from the gorgeous Juliet-style French doors.
A second bedroom is currently in use as a study. It has pretty views over the manicured, private rear garden towards Hampden Road.
A delightful, mature walnut tree adds perspective.
The property has fresh paintwork throughout, which complements the new blinds for window furnishings.
Perfect for a home cook.
Light-filled living.
The lighting upstairs and the quality appliances on the ground floor have also been upgraded.
There is underfloor heating in the bathroom and a reverse-cycle airconditioner ensures comfort all year round.

Gleaming timber floors reflect the natural light, which is further enhanced by accent skylights.
Additional security is provided by the electronic gate at the entrance.
