Circa 1880 Victorian Charm in the Heart of Hobart

Description

Dating back to circa 1880, this charming Victorian cottage offers a wonderful piece of Hobart's history, positioned on the doorstep of the CBD. Rich in period character, the property combines inner-city convenience with a generous backyard, off-street parking and the added advantage of existing short-stay accommodation approval. Behind its traditional façade, the home retains many of the features that give Victorian cottages their enduring appeal. High ceilings, timber floors, decorative fireplaces and beautiful stained-glass details create warmth and character throughout. The accommodation includes three bedrooms, a comfortable central living area and a light-filled sunroom overlooking the backyard. The kitchen retains plenty of original charm while offering practical everyday functionality. For investors, the property's existing short-stay accommodation approval presents an exciting opportunity, particularly given its highly convenient location close to the CBD, hospitals, restaurants, Salamanca, the waterfront and many of Hobart's major attractions. Step outside and the sense of space is a genuine surprise. The established backyard provides an impressive amount of outdoor space for such a central location, with lawns, gardens and plenty of room to enjoy, improve or reimagine over time. Rear access provides valuable off-street parking, while the size and configuration of the property may also offer scope to renovate, extend or explore further possibilities, subject to the necessary approvals.
