23 French Street, Orford TAS 7190

Very few Orford homes offer the blend of modern style, energy efficiency and low maintenance with superb comfort, as does 23 French Street in prestigious East Shelly Beach. Just minutes walk from both East and West Shelly Beaches off a quiet cul de sac, this property is level, low maintenance, offers full services including the NBN as well as a solid trail of holiday rental income.

The 'Orford Retreat' is simply immaculate – with a choice of entertaining areas plus alfresco dining outdoors on the timber deck, or indoors with Daikin air conditioning, there are so many attractive features to this property including a central vacuuming system for ease of cleaning up after sandy little feet and a block size large enough to provide off street parking for a boat or caravan.

A recent build from 2008, the 23 French Street floor plan accommodates 5 bed rooms all with robes (a walk-in robe for the parents retreat upstairs and a private balcony), 2 luxurious bathrooms with heated floors and a separate laundry with outdoor spa deck. The property was built for both holiday rental and family holidays and features a wonderful open plan lounge with home theatre and Foxtel connection, dining and gourmet kitchen area with island bench all opening to a large timber deck with sunny northerly aspect, made private from neighbours by attractive low maintenance shrubs.

Polished Tas Oak timber floors glow with character throughout and the internal décor is of neutral tones to create a backdrop to your artwork and choice of furnishings and decorations. Stepping inside 23 French Street is to relax into your own coastal sanctuary ready for the peace and quiet of a retreat - or to open up the sliding glass doors and let the good times roll in a stylish home designed for entertaining!

A few minutes drive, bike ride or healthy walk to the local shops, cafes, nearby parklands with kids play equipment and IGA supermarket and there is so much to do here by the sea. Take in the history of meandering Old Convict Road alongside the Prosser River or explore the foreshore walk along West and East Shelly Beaches, to the rolling surf of Spring Beach as a 'must do', alive with the sounds of the ocean and native bird life.

The Orford/Spring Beach precinct is popular with cyclists and well equipped with community support infrastructure including medical services, a pharmacy, library, very active golf, bowls and boating clubs – all this just one hour by car from the city of Hobart. And did I mention the fishing? What are you waiting for!
