The young man allegedly entered the home while armed with a baseball bat, threatened the occupant and made off with almost $5,000 worth of property.
Police have now charged the teenager with armed robbery, aggravated burglary, stealing and computer related fraud.
He appeared in the youth division of the Hobart Magistrates Court on Tuesday night.
