Positioned upon the high side of iconic Davey Street within the coveted city fringe district of Hobart sits an imposing home of historical significance, heritage-listed with endless potential, both commercial and residentially zoned.
The magnificent property is instantly recognisable as a noteworthy slice of Hobart's early Victorian architecture, originally constructed in 1841. Stunning period features remain, and have been beautifully preserved, to now co-exist with contemporary upgrades necessary for modern living.
Deceptively spacious, the property sprawls across three generous levels, allowing for maximum potential and numerous uses. Previously, the estate has served as consulting rooms, offices, education spaces, and accommodation, providing a flexible base for business, commercial, or residential occupancy.
The ground floor contains four versatile rooms, currently configured as a combination of office, boardroom, and reception spaces. This level is serviced by two toilets, and a laundry.
The first floor also encompasses sumptuous office, bedroom or living spaces overlooking the leafy street, along with a fully equipped timber kitchen, and a bathroom with a separate powder room.
The lower-ground level is completely self-contained, offering a similar layout and amenities, with the addition of an internal laundry cleverly housed within the contemporary kitchen and dining space, and a renovated bathroom.
A sense of grandeur can be felt throughout, with solid sandstone exterior, and exposed walls inside. Sky-high ceilings, rich timber, hardwood doors, and ornate fireplaces provide a glimpse into the spectacular history.
Within the grounds, an urban oasis surrounded by manicured hedges, established trees, and gardens. Classic outbuildings include twin stables, with cobblestoned floors and loft space, and additional room for secure storage.
Rare for such a prime, city edge location, the property comes complete with off-street parking spaces within the lengthy gated driveway, and at the rear of the residence, for multiple vehicles.
The fabulous location ensures complete convenience, within walking distance to the vibrant Hobart CBD, historic Salamanca Place and Battery Point, and the waterfront filled with restaurants, bars, cafes, and culture.
Offering a myriad of options for both commercial and residential ventures, with an expanse of palatial proportions and complete modern comfort, this enchanting property within a tightly held city locale is ideal for investors, professionals, or those seeking an iconic and historic Hobart estate to call home.
