2A Downie Street, South Hobart TAS 7004

1920s cottage | 49% site coverage | sought-after South Hobart pocket | Mt Wellington views | FTTP broadband This property offers a rare combination of a 1920s cottage on a compact 205m² block with 49% site coverage, providing an established footprint that is difficult to find in this part of South Hobart. The polished timber floors, reverse-cycle air conditioning, and wood heating serve a buyer seeking character without sacrificing modern comfort, while the private courtyard and Mt Wellington views add a lifestyle premium that supports strong resale appeal. It best suits a professional couple or downsizer who values walkability to the CBD and local cafes, and who recognises the scarcity of such a low-maintenance, fully fenced house in a tightly held precinct. The lack of bushfire, flood, or heritage overlays removes costly compliance risks, but the small block limits future expansion without council approval. The renovated bathroom and solar panels reduce ongoing outgoings, though the single off-street parking space may deter car-dependent buyers. The primary opportunity lies in holding the property as a low-upkeep residence that benefits from South Hobart’s consistent demand, or as a lock-and-leave option given the manageable garden and reliable 5G coverage. For a buyer seeking a character home with minimal maintenance and strong location fundamentals, this house represents a sound long-term hold.
