It’s rare to score a three-bedroom renovated terrace home for under a million in Melbourne or Sydney but that’s the reality on the gorgeous Apple Isle.

This solid brick terrace was built circa 1920 and retains plenty of its period charm – high ceilings, ornate fireplaces, polished floors and a timber staircase, but has been updated with a fresh coat of paint, modern kitchen and stylish bathroom.

Listing agent Brad Stephens says the property has seen interest from a mix of young professionals including doctors and lawyers because of its proximity to the CBD and its walking distance to the North Hobart’s cafes and bars.
