12/99 Channel Highway, Kingston, TAS 7050

A modern urban home should have several essentials; be close to shops and supermarkets, offer a reduced dependency on private vehicle use, have easy access to public transport, be of a low maintenance and energy efficient design and have comfortably spacious living accommodation. This attractive and well maintained townhouse at 99 Channel Highway in Kingston has all of these features plus more. In a new enclave, reminiscent of the Wapping development in Hobart, this unit enjoys a sense of privacy despite being part of a prestigious high density development. Set over two floors the home has three bedrooms plus a large ground floor living space which is nicely connected to the rear courtyard garden. Let's explore. Outside, the street appeal is immediately apparent. Distant rural views to Mt Wellington soften the urban environment. The home's entrance is on the ground floor and an adjacent single car garage has a motorised roller door as well as internal access into the home itself. Through the front door you enter an open vestibule. Laminate flooring is installed throughout the ground floor and adds a warmth to this open area as well as offering an easy-care, low maintenance surface. To the left, partially screened from the front door, is the dining area whilst the kitchen commands your immediate attention. With plenty of storage and workspace this modern kitchen has a breakfast bar and it's easy to imagine the role this area would play in both entertaining friends and family as well as day-to-day living. Walking from the kitchen you pass the door to the garage and then enter the generously proportioned lounge which has access to the rear courtyard through a sliding glass door. The rear patio is paved and also has planting beds suitable, perhaps, for a small kitchen garden. There is plenty of room out here for an outdoor dining setting as well as barbecue. An open aspect and views to the mountain add to the calm ambience of this area. From the lounge room an alcove next to the staircase leads to the laundry which also has an adjacent separate toilet with hand basin. The staircase leads up to a landing and hallway. This level of the home is fully carpeted except in the bathrooms and on the balcony. At the front of this level is the main bedroom with spacious walk-in robe and ensuite with shower, toilet and vanity. A sliding glass door leads from this bedroom out onto a balcony which is also accessed from the landing. What a lovely spot for an early morning cuppa or perhaps a late nightcap. Down the hallway are the other two bedrooms as well as the family bathroom. The bedrooms are surprisingly spacious and both are complete with built-in robes and desks. The bathroom is nicely proportioned with a bath, separate shower, toilet and vanity. The home is furnished with quality window blinds and heating is provided by a reverse cycle air conditioner (heat pump). Double glazed window units are installed throughout and the home is also connected to the NBN. The overarching impression of this property is one of stylish comfort. With its low-maintenance design this property would suit a wide range of buyers who are looking for a conveniently located home to suit their busy lifestyles. The Kingston Town shopping centre is literally a 5 minute walk away from your front door and the shopping centre has a large Woolworths supermarket as well as speciality shops and café. Also within walking distance are places of worship, schools and public transport. Kingston is a very popular and growing suburb with a wide and ever-increasing range of amenities including another two shopping centres, government services, supermarkets, health services, restaurants, parks, tracks and of course the beautiful Kingston Beach. Only 20 minutes from Hobart's CBD, Kingston is the perfect base for city workers who wish to live in a quiet yet dynamic semi-rural environment.
