24 Charles Street, Orford, Tas 7190

Transformed by attentive vendors from a 2 bed cottage in 2012 to 3 bedrooms, 2 living areas, 2 bathrooms and a very stylish galley kitchen as the hub of the home – 24 Charles Street offers a renovated home with level access, within walking distance of Orford shopping, Post Office and nearby restaurants.

Situated on a large 850m2 allotment and including a new roof plus lockup garage/ workshop, the property is freshly painted and all but some final works to tidy the grounds will make a wonderful family beach house or an affordable and beautifully presented retirement location just 1 hour by road from the Hobart CBD or 45 minutes from Hobart airport.

A new sundeck provides for alfresco dining and entertaining outdoors and with insulated ceilings, 2 x heat pumps and panel heaters in each bedroom this will be a cosy winter home here by the sea on Tasmania's spectacular east coast. 24 Charles Street has full services including town water and sewerage and the choice of a copper wire connection to the NBN or WiFi access.

Sheltered by the majestic Maria Island - Spring Bay, Mercury Passage and surrounds offer excellent boating and fishing including crayfish and abalone. The Orford/Spring Beach precinct is popular with walkers, cyclists and birdwatchers and is blessed with your choice of pristine beaches, numerous walking paths and nearby local community support infrastructure including supermarkets, medical services, cafes, a pharmacy, library and very active golf, bowls and boating clubs always keen to welcome new members.

And if that isn't enough – your East Coast lifestyle will be enriched as you nurture with nature at the nearby Douglas Apsley, Freycinet and Maria Island National parks intermingled with a dozen boutique wineries and cellar doors beginning at Orford from Darlington Vinyard at the start of the east coast wine trail all the way to St Helens.
