Victorian elegance in a landmark location

Built in 1840, this distinguished property offers a rare opportunity to secure a landmark of Hobart's early Victorian architecture, positioned in a central city location, just moments from the city centre and Salamanca precinct.

Spanning four levels and 203sqm of internal space, the residence has been thoughtfully maintained to preserve its original character while incorporating modern comforts. High ceilings, period detailing and solid construction showcase its heritage, while contemporary updates ensure everyday comfort.

The layout is both spacious and versatile. The lower ground, originally the maids' quarters, comprises a living space and bedroom with internal access to the ground floor. The ground floor is designed for everyday living, featuring an open-plan lounge and dining area, a modernised kitchen, and a bathroom with laundry facilities. The back yard includes an entertaining area and landscaped gardens, creating a private retreat in the heart of the city.

On the first floor, three well-proportioned bedrooms are serviced by a large bathroom on the mezzanine level. The top floor can be used as a parents' retreat with a bedroom, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. In total, the property offers five bedrooms and three bathrooms, suiting families, professionals, or guest accommodation.

Zoned Central Business, the property's flexibility is unmatched. Previously operating as the 'Chelsea Executive Townhouse', presents an attractive option for business operators, boutique accommodation providers, or those seeking a unique dual-purpose holding.

The location is exceptional. Salamanca's award-winning restaurants, lively bars, and Saturday markets are within a short stroll, with the waterfront and cultural attractions also close at hand. This combination of historic charm, modern amenity, and prime positioning makes 81 Davey Street one of Hobart's most compelling offerings.
