Steeped in history and rich in character, this remarkable heritage-listed residence presents an exceptionally rare opportunity to secure one of New Town's treasured period homes. Originally constructed circa 1870, the home has evolved over the years while retaining many of its beautiful original features, creating a property that is as captivating as it is unique.
The original residence comprises four elegant front rooms, complemented by three attic rooms accessed via two internal staircases. During its time as the manse for the New Town Congregational Church, the impressive lounge room was added and served as a choir practice hall, adding another fascinating chapter to the home's story.
Showcasing the craftsmanship of a bygone era, the home features beautiful Tas Oak floorboards, original timber doors and an operational Rinnai gas heater that provides warmth and comfort to the lounge. The kitchen is positioned at the rear of the home and enjoys direct access to the private backyard, while recent improvements include replacement spouting along the left-hand side of the house together with upgraded electrical meter and sub-board.
Occupying a generous 701sqm parcel of land, the backyard offers plenty of space to enjoy, complete with established almond, kiwi and lemon trees. A new timber fence enhances privacy, while the original coach house provides a wonderful reminder of the property's past. Featuring original timber doors and cobblestone flooring, the coach house is currently used for storage and includes an adjoining laundry. (Please note there is no power connected to the coach house)
Perfectly positioned directly opposite New Town High School, the home is within easy reach of both the vibrant New Town and Moonah shopping precincts, while public transport to the CBD is conveniently located at the end of the street.
Whether you are passionate about restoring heritage homes, searching for a substantial family residence, or simply looking to own an irreplaceable piece of Tasmania's architectural history, this extraordinary property offers endless potential in one of Hobart's most sought-after locations.
