Listing description
About this property
Built in 1959, 53 Charles Street Orford has wonderful street appeal with dual access from its Charles Street frontage and its sunny, private Walpole Street entrance. The house has an open plan lounge and dining area running the full length of the home with views to Spring Bay Mill and the Point Home Lighthouse at Triabunna. An Ultimate wood heater provides winter comfort, and the retention of the original wood stove adds to the charm. A main bedroom and a bungalow have allowed the current owners to enjoy family holidays for many years. The separate kitchen can also be enjoyed as another living space. There is a large rear deck with water views over Prosser Bay, and the adjoining paved brick terrace provides another sunny and relaxing outdoor space. The generous 785 sqm of land is both low maintenance and a private haven providing ample parking for cars, boat and caravan. The home's proximity to Millingtons and West Shelly beaches, the primary school, parklands and the Orford shops enhance the coastal feel that this home exudes. Ideal for a small family or a couple, this much-loved holiday home or permanent residence has huge appeal and is priced to sell.

Property Report
Future Development
Orford is experiencing modest but steady residential infill and rural subdivision activity, driven by its popularity as a lifestyle and tourism destination south of Hobart. Development pressure remains relatively low-density with emphasis on rural-residential estate lots and waterfront precinct activation rather than high-density urban renewal. Infrastructure and service upgrades are supporting incremental growth, particularly around existing commercial nodes and coastal access points.
