IF only its walls could talk, this 130 year old Hobart city building would no doubt have a tale or two to tell.
This Bathurst Street property was designed by famed architect Henry Hunter and originally built in 1890 as the Fire Bell Keeper’s House.
Today, this charming historic building has undergone a fabulous architecturally-designed renovation throughout to offer stylish and comfortable inner-city living.
While nestled within the bustling Hobart CBD, and behind an unassuming rustic facade, this two-bedroom property provides a calm, quiet and private inner-city pad.
Rustic charms.
Sleek updates.
The flexible floorplan of this spacious two-storey dwelling includes up three bedrooms should the next owner wish to convert the current home office/second living area on the upper level.
This top floor space features a gorgeous bathroom with a luxurious spa that overlooks the city. It has a vanity and a separate shower.
The nearby master suite features the charms of yesteryear, substantial built-in wardrobes and it also takes in views of the city life below.
Downstairs, the well-designed kitchen makes a great first impression with its high-quality fit-out and appliances. It has an island bench with heaps of space for breakfast time dining, pendant lighting, a glass splashback, double sinks, heaps of cupboards and gas cooking, too.
This space flows out to a private and sunny courtyard through double-glazed sliding doors.
City living.
Period details.
Throughout the home there are gleaming polished floorboards, beautiful fireplaces and high ceilings that fill the home with character.
The combination of electric and gas heating as well as being well insulated provides a cosy and comfortable home through the cooler months.
And with a coffee shop next door and plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants on its doorstep, life really doesn’t get much more convenient than this Bathurst Street address.
