Full of early Hobart charm, this 1880-built home offers a warm, character-filled sanctuary in the heart of West Hobart. Thoughtfully updated while retaining its character, it blends personality with easy modern comfort, unfolding through a series of inviting, light-filled and wonderfully liveable spaces.
As you enter the property a welcoming porch leads into the living room, where original features create an immediate sense of homeliness. The adjoining dining area forms the heart of the home, and the warm front sunroom creates a cosy, elevated nook that captures an outlook to the River Derwent. It's an ideal spot for morning coffee, quiet reading or simply taking in the ever-changing light.
The central kitchen has been designed for practicality and ease, making excellent use of the home's footprint with thoughtful storage and connection to the rest of the living areas. The bathroom is complete with a shower, bath and toilet, offering everyday convenience.
Both bedrooms are comfortable and full of character, with the main bedroom featuring built-in cupboards for easy storage. The second bedroom is equally charming. Together, they create comfortable and flexible accommodation within this beautifully updated home.
Outside, the home reveals a private backyard. A courtyard provides a sheltered area for relaxing or entertaining, framed by established greenery and the cottage's timeless charm. A separate laundry room and garden shed add further practicality, making the outdoor space as functional as it is charming.
Perfectly positioned in one of Hobart's most desirable city-fringe suburbs, 164 Goulburn Street delivers a lifestyle that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly simple – a classic home updated for modern living, ready to welcome its next chapter.
