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.
