21 Carr Street, North Hobart TAS 7000

"WYVENHOE" Circa 1898 ? First time on the market in almost 80 years. This wonderful residence has been home to four generations of the same family.

An imposing house on a huge block with wonderful city and river views from the rear, mountain view from the front, and situated across the road from the renowned and prestigious Friends School.

Ideally positioned on the cusp of North Hobart and New Town. Restaurants, major shopping complexes, boutique stores, schools, medical facilities, and public transport are all only a short walk away. Within a few minutes drive of the CBD, Salamanca, and the waterfront precinct. A very desirable location indeed.

Many original Victorian features remain intact -- ceiling rosettes, ornate cornices, and golden-hued Baltic pine floorboards ? which add to the character and charm of this family home. The rooms are generously sized, with many boasting 14 foot ceilings.

The floor plan is versatile and expansive, with approximately 450m² of living space offering anywhere from 5 - 7 bedrooms, numerous sunrooms, 2 formal lounges, 3 bathrooms, 4 toilets, a darkroom/strongroom, choice of kitchens and much, much more.

The magnificent 2,455m² gently sloping block has supported beautiful gardens in its day with productive fruit trees, a myriad of garden sheds and a separate studio/games room with myrtle flooring. There are 3 garages and a carport, an in-ground swimming pool, plus rear access via a right-of-way. The land offers development potential STCA.

There is undoubtedly plenty of scope to enhance and upgrade both the inside and outside of the property, and a huge potential for "WYVENHOE" to be restored to its former glory. The astute purchaser will be rewarded with a magnificent and enviable estate, reminiscent of a by-gone era.
