Summary: Inner-City Residential & Commercial on Separate Strata Titles
Description: Raine & Horne Hobart, together with Raine & Horne Commercial, are delighted to offer for sale a rare combination of commercial and residential accommodation within a highly desirable inner-city locale. Providing opportunities for investors and owner occupiers, the properties (each on separate strata titles) are offered to the market at offers over $1,100,000 for both as a whole, or by offer as separate lots. When location is important it is hard to beat 223 Collins Street, Hobart. It is just a short walk to the city centre, provides easy access to Hobart's major arterial roads, and is less than 200m from the popular Hobart Rivulet Linear Park - a peaceful refuge that also provides easy walking access to South and West Hobart. Refurbished in 2015, Studio 223 occupies the top level with street front access. Head on up the stairs and you will be impressed by a crisp, modern space that highlights gorgeous timber floors and emphasises light. It is a perfect spot to escape the city bustle. Windows encompass three sides of the studio allowing for plenty of natural light, cityscape views and Mountain glimpses. The windows have dual blinds providing privacy screens for light to enter the studio, and block out blinds to provide refuge from the city's night lights. A large timber deck of approx. 21m2 is tucked away at the rear of the unit. It offers plenty of sunshine and is perfect for alfresco dining or just relaxing. Back inside, the kitchen provides ample bench space and comes almost fully equipped with appliances including a Samsung fridge, Fisher & Paykel washing machine, hotplates and a microwave, together with several smaller appliances, pots, crockery and cutlery. The stylish bathroom is a separate room and sits adjacent to the sleeping area. It provides a walk-in shower, vanity and toilet. The balance of the inside area is currently set up into zones for sleeping, dining and TV watching. Almost all the internal furniture is included here with the exception of the bed. The property has been used for short-term visitor accommodation in the past and that permit is still in place today. An estimate of market rent for long term residential accommodation has been determined to be between $475 and $525 per week. It is offered with vacant possession. Downstairs the Commercial tenancy - known as Unit 1 - has been fitted out as a modern office suite of approx. 79m2. It is currently leased until April 2026 offering opportunities for owner-occupation or residential conversion (STCA) and incorporates a laneway on the title for 2 car parks. Further lease details can be provided by the Agent.

Summary: A Landmark Heritage Opportunity with Future Potential
Description: Offered as a single combined holding, 314-316 Liverpool Street represents a rare and compelling opportunity to secure two late-1800s heritage homes together with a valuable rear land component in one of Hobart's most established inner-city streets. This is a property defined by proportion, history and possibility - ideally suited to builders, architects, developers and design-led buyers seeking a project where character and long-term value sit firmly at the forefront. The Heritage Homes Both dwellings retain a rich collection of original period features typical of Hobart's 19th-century architecture, including: • Original fireplaces and mantles • Timber floorboards, architraves and skirting • Leadlight and stained-glass features • Lath and plaster walls • Traditional staircases and room proportions These authentic elements form a strong foundation for sympathetic restoration, allowing future owners to celebrate the craftsmanship of the era while re-imagining the homes for contemporary living. Restoration & Creative Potential The homes provide an exceptional blank canvas for transformation. Their scale and layout allow for: • Thoughtful internal reconfiguration (STCA) • Restoration of period detail alongside modern amenities • The creation of two highly desirable heritage residences • Strong value uplift through quality design and execution Opportunities of this nature - where original fabric remains largely intact - are increasingly rare in inner Hobart. Rear Land & Architectural Opportunity Complementing the heritage homes is a separate rear parcel of land, adding a further layer of flexibility and appeal. • Concept drawings by a respected local architect are available • Potential for a contemporary dwelling positioned behind the heritage façades with access via Molle Street • An ideal opportunity for a multi-stage or mixed heritage/new-build outcome This rear component significantly enhances the versatility of the holding and broadens the range of potential end uses. Who This Opportunity Will Appeal To • Builders and developers seeking a boutique inner-city project • Architects or designer-builders wanting a standout heritage commission • Buyers attracted to multi-dwelling or staged development potential • Those who value craftsmanship, history and creative freedom This is an offering for buyers who see opportunity rather than limitation. Location Set within a tightly held heritage streetscape, Liverpool Street enjoys: • Nestled on the edge of the Hobart CBD • Excellent access to transport and amenities • Enduring demand for restored character homes The location underpins both immediate appeal and long-term capital strength. 314-316 Liverpool Street is a rare, layered opportunity combining heritage significance, architectural potential and development flexibility - all within an established inner-city setting. Concept drawings and further supporting information are available for buyers seeking to explore the full scope of what this exceptional holding can offer. As the properties are currently tenanted, on a month-by-month basis, inspections will be by appointment.
