Prominently positioned among the grand manor homes found in South Hobart’s historic Davey Street, this classic 1920s residence is an incredible time capsule of the past and offers a rare opportunity to update and bring this fabulous home into the future. With an extensive 1601m2 parcel of land, the scope and potential here is unlimited.
Absolutely untouched and offered for the first time since 1978, the home retains superb architectural integrity throughout. Original features include stained glass windows and solid timber floors, picture rails and beautiful timber architraves, plus an original timber staircase in the entrance hall, timber framed windows and glass-panelled doors.
The spacious ground floor includes a grand formal living room, with exposed ceiling rafters, fireplace and deep-sill windows that look out over immaculate garden lawns. There is also an adjoining formal dining room accessed through beautiful French doors, and a versatile sunroom or studio. There is a separate family room/living room as well and an eat-in kitchen which has access to the courtyard at the rear.
Upstairs features three sunny bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a potential fourth bedroom or second sunroom area, plus a smaller room perfect as a nursery or study. Suffused in abundant natural light, the flexible upper level floorplan also includes a large home office, as well as the main bathroom and a separate toilet.
There is a single lock-up garage, a second double lock-up garage plus workshop, and multiple off-street parking. The expansive garden area includes outbuildings and sheds, plus a laundry and second separate toilet. Secluded and private, this wonderful estate is very close to shops, schools and amenities of South Hobart, and just a short trip to the CBD. Properties such as this are rarely available and always generate intense interest. Not to be missed!
