Set back from the street and enjoying almost complete privacy, a peaceful living experience awaits the lucky new owners. The expansive 1040m2 allotment is located on the top of the Red Chapel rise and provides a near level site from which an expansive 360 degree outlook over the city, kunanyi/Mt Wellington and River Derwent can be obtained.

As is, the existing cottage, whilst rustic and ready for renovation is full of character and quaint charm, comprising a lounge room with high ceilings and an ornate brick and brass fireplace with timber mantle, where the views of the river can be seen through picture windows.

The extensive parcel of land features superb established trees, including a giant pine that presides over the backyard. The grounds feature a myriad of other tree varieties, hedges, and florals, along with vegetable gardens and large open spaces. 

Entertaining outdoors amid lush surrounds can be enjoyed with peace and privacy. At the front of the home, a timber veranda captures the water views through the treetops, and there is a paved patio  at the opposing end of the property. 

With an attractive address, the possibilities to develop the prime landholding are infinite, with a generous block and a blank canvas, enhanced by the views that could be even more spectacular from a new residence.
