Positioned in the heart of West Hobart, just moments from the CBD and a short stroll to popular cafés including Pigeon Hole and Lansdowne Café, 165 Goulburn Street offers a unique blend of mid-century design, flexible living and a beautifully established garden setting.
Originally extended and reimagined in 1967, the home showcases a refined mid-century modern aesthetic, thoughtfully updated to suit contemporary living. Arranged over two levels, it offers a versatile floorplan with up to three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, or alternatively multiple living zones depending on lifestyle needs.
A welcoming entry leads to a striking sunken lounge, where a stone fireplace, built-in bar and soft textures create a warm and inviting atmosphere. From here, the home flows seamlessly outdoors to a private courtyard and into what is truly a rare inner-city green oasis.
The landscaped gardens are a standout feature, with mature plantings including a weeping cherry, speckled elm, camellias and peony rose, complemented by succulents, bamboo, yucca and a tranquil fish pond. Multiple outdoor spaces offer options to relax or entertain, including a sunny deck capturing select water and mountain views.
The lower level also includes a guest bedroom with ensuite and built-in storage, ideal for visitors or independent living. The updated kitchen is both practical and stylish, featuring modern appliances and generous workspace.
Upstairs, the main bedroom enjoys a peaceful outlook over the gardens, while a second room, suitable as a third bedroom or additional living space, captures beautiful afternoon sun and mountain views. A modern bathroom services this level, and a Juliet balcony enhances airflow and natural light throughout.
Freshly painted, the home is well equipped for year-round comfort with two wood heaters and a reverse-cycle air conditioner. Spacious bedrooms, multiple living areas and a highly adaptable layout further enhance its appeal.
A single garage provides off-street parking, storage or workshop space, with potential for further development (STCA). The fully fenced, pet-friendly yard is suitable for both small and large pets, adding to the home's lifestyle appeal.
With Salamanca, North Hobart and local schools all within easy reach, and public transport close by, this is a home that offers both convenience and a sense of retreat.
Combining mid-century character, established gardens and flexible living, 165 Goulburn Street is a distinctive and inviting inner-city residence with broad appeal.
