19 Valentine St, New Town TAS 7008

Built in 1919, this beautifully renovated cottage-style home has retained much of its original charm, whilst being remodelled to suit contemporary 21st Century living. Located near the heart of New Town, the property has a level block, views of kunanyi Mt Wellington and is within walking distance of many commercial and recreational facilities.

The house has been recently painted throughout in neutral colours, and has that classic cottage style of a central hallway with two generously sized rooms on each side. Three of these rooms are double bedrooms with built-in robes, whilst the largest of the four is currently the main sitting room with French doors opening to a sheltered lawn and garden. Beyond this original section of the home is the more contemporary living area with its open plan family living, kitchen and dining areas, plus a stylish, modern bathroom, containing not only quality fittings with shower, but also a neatly designed laundry. Doors open from both the dining and family areas onto a spacious wooden deck, ideal for entertaining and general alfresco living. With a north facing back garden, this whole area captures the sun throughout the day. Steps from the deck lead down to a separate studio room or double bedroom with a second stylish ensuite bathroom. This flexible floorplan could be an ideal configuration for multi-generational family living.

Other features of the home include a carport at the side providing undercover parking for one car and off street parking for a second vehicle; whilst access to the roof space, including a skylight, has been installed offering valuable storage space. The garden is low maintenance and while the area on the western side is well established with mature trees and lawn, the rear garden has more recently been attractively landscaped with gravel pathways winding between carefully selected plants creating a delightful sense of adventure. A garden shed on the rear boundary is ideal for storage.
