17 Erica Street, Orford TAS 7190

Since 2020 this residence has had replacement double glazed, aluminium framed windows installed throughout plus a modwood new deck in the privacy of the back yard, opening through double doors off the kitchen/ dining room which has transformed the livability of the property bringing the outdoors, indoors.

Nestled quietly amongst established shrubs at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac, 17 Erica Street is located beside a natural coastal reserve with direct access to the Prosser River walking track. This quality built and level access 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom holiday home on the North Shore at Orford enjoys a unique parkland setting that will never be built out.

On an easy to maintain 579sqm allotment this charming timber beach house C1996 offers dual access from both the front and rear of the title.

Out front a sunny full-length veranda and timber deck captures the winter sun. Behind the property is a 6 x 3.8M colorbond lock up garage/workshop complete with concrete floor, roller door, power, lighting and some shelving.
