Unusual, characterful North Hobart property featuring two adjoining cottages that share a common courtyard. This home exudes historical charm and offers a flexible floor-plan that can be tuned to the buyer’s requirements.

The original front two-room worker’s cottage, built in the 1840′s, is currently used as a home office. This was later extended and now includes another large room plus a contemporary kitchenette and washroom. This generous space overlooking the courtyard easily lends itself to a potential redesign, STCA of course.

Set back from the worker’s cottage is another character-filled dwelling that has been thoughtfully refurbished whilst retaining original features such as raw exposed bricks, Tasmanian oak floorboards and fireplaces. This two-storey studio apartment has a simple yet functional layout with a combined cosy lounge, dining and kitchenette downstairs and good-sized bedroom upstairs.

In addition, there is also an external bathroom/laundry room and off street parking for 1-2 cars – a rare find for the area.

This property presents a variety of options for the buyer, whether that is a redesign of the worker’s cottage, retaining the two dwellings as a split living space for families with teenagers or utilising one of the cottages for potential short-stay accommodation.

Well positioned in the vibrant and much sought-after suburb of North Hobart and within walking distance to all amenities as well as a host of cosmopolitan cafes, restaurants, lively bars, the highly acclaimed State Cinema, the Friends School and Hobart CBD.
