Overview

A charming cottage nestled within a garden oasis

Steeped in history and brimming with character, this delightful heritage cottage, built circa the 1830s, offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Tasmania's past while enjoying the comforts of modern living. Rich in local history, the residence was once owned by Benjamin Griffin, who arrived in Tasmania in 1828 and operated B. Griffin Boot Maker on Elizabeth Street. Today, the home continues to honour its heritage through its charming character features and warm, inviting atmosphere. Inside, wide original timber floorboards and a soft neutral colour palette create a welcoming ambience throughout. The comfortable lounge room showcases a striking feature mantel, flowing seamlessly through to the dining area where french doors open to the garden, creating an effortless connection between indoor living and the outdoors. The kitchen is filled with natural light, enhanced by a skylight and a window overlooking the garden. Quality appliances and a vibrant timber benchtop combine style with everyday functionality. Accommodation comprises two cosy bedrooms, one complete with built-in wardrobes. The bathroom is neatly appointed with a shower, floating vanity and toilet. The grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a true garden retreat. Established trees and abundant plantings are linked by winding paths, revealing multiple peaceful spaces to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Adding further versatility to the property is a separate workshop and utility space, ideal as an artist's studio, home office, library or creative retreat. Off-street parking is available within the driveway for added convenience. Positioned in an exceptional New Town location, this charming and historic residence offers lifestyle, character and flexibility just moments from shops, cafés and Hobart's CBD.
