This charming house will take you back to 1910, before the First World War, when electric trams and the horse and cart were the modes of transport, and Queen Anne architecture was all the rage.
Queen Anne homes were designed to embrace the outdoor lifestyle of the Australian people, they became part of our Hobart history, featuring a gracious airy style with big windows and asymmetric gables, decorative timber features, high ceilings and white painted window frames. Terrace versions of the Queen Anne townhouse are now rare, so it is with great pleasure we introduce for sale, 197 Goulburn Street in West Hobart.
This multi-level, inner city home features all the classic elements of a Queen Anne house, but with all the up-dated modern conveniences. At the centre of the home is a practical modern kitchen, an entertainer’s delight. It has a warm farmhouse feel with contemporary blue cabinetry, complemented with timber bench tops, a free standing 6 burner gas cooker and an abundance of natural light. On the same level as the kitchen-dining area is a large bedroom and sunroom, which could otherwise be used as a second living room.
On the mezzanine level, off the kitchen, is a warm and inviting sitting room that spills out into a lovely courtyard and sunny garden. A second bathroom/laundry complete this level.
Upstairs, the generous master bedroom, includes an ensuite bathroom with a full size bath, shower, toilet and double vanity. The second bedroom on this level has a large Juliet balcony with sweeping views across the city and to Hobart’s River Derwent, providing a great platform to watch the boats sailing up the river in the Sydney to Hobart yacht race or a great place to hang out with family and friends taking in the incredible sunsets over Mount Wellington.
In essence, this house is warm and filled with natural light and character. It is on the city side of West Hobart, which is one of the town’s most desirable suburbs. It is within easy walking distance the CBD, but with many cafes, galleries, boutiques and schools even closer to home.
