Home with large parcel of land, located just on the outskirts of Devonport! 5 Forth Road, DON TAS 7310

Positioned on a generous 3198m2 parcel of land, this charming property enjoys an original weatherboard house with the character & warmth of years gone by.

In its current state, the home is in need of some love, however if you appreciate classic features, the timeless appeal of yesteryear and a place that offers a large amount of land close to town, then this may be just what you are looking for. This property has all of those things and is indeed a rare gem.

The beautiful original wood front door, with its decorative glass inlay, invites you inside to the roomy hallway.
Solid timber architraves are a testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era and picture rails add a touch of elegance to the bedroom walls.
Many of the original features have been lovingly retained, such as the high baseboards, extra height ceilings and ornate cornicing.
There are 3 bedrooms located at the front of the home, all of which are a good size and share a central bathroom.
This original part of the home also contains the main living room, complete with its own wood heater and reverse cycle air conditioner for comfort & convenience.

An additional 2nd living room boasts a brick-surround fireplace that’s just begging to be re-furbished and enjoyed. This lovely fireplace has a built-in mantle with a mirror above, wooden floorboards and original wood dado panelling, creating a cosy feel to the space.

The home has previously been extended and somewhat modernised with a split-level layout with high raked ceilings. This area includes an updated kitchen, dining area & more living space. One of the standout features here is the unique Thermalux Australian-made wood stove. While it may need some TLC, these stoves are known for their quality and durability. Quite expensive to purchase new, this rare find makes for an enticing opportunity for those who appreciate the art of restoration.
At the rear of the house there is a laundry room, seperate toilet and access to a back porch, which is a perfect spot to kick off muddy boots after a day in the expansive yard and attached paddocks.
The property is partially fenced with a completely new, wood paling fence down one side of the property. The fencing on the driveway side is also in good order.
With over 3000 square metres of land at your disposal, there’s ample space for your creative landscaping ideas or even the potential for further development, subject to council approval.

Don’t miss the chance to make this special home yours and start creating your own story within its walls.
