2/146 Harrington Street, Hobart
Bedrooms: Three
Bathroom: One

The convenience of being close to Hobart city’s services as well as character-filled living are on offer in this 19th century corner building.
The two-storey colonial structure which houses this fully furnished apartment – one of two – was built in 1864, the same year that the foundation stone of Hobart Town Hall was laid.

Reminders of yesteryear include the polished timber floorboards and skirting boards which feature through most of the 122sqm of floorspace over three levels.
“It is a great building,’’ says Charlotte Peterswald for Property’s John Remess. “It is heritage listed and I’m sure there are a lot of stories the walls could tell. I am told but can’t verify that at one stage it was a bakery.
“At present it has been strata-titled into three different properties including two townhouses and offices. Obviously, it has had changes down through the years and particularly in the last 10 years which have modernised it.’’
Entry to 2/416 Harrington Street is at street level. Visitors will initially encounter a sitting room which flows through to an “eat-in’’ kitchen. There is also ground floor access to a small – 6sqm – outdoor space.
The first floor features a main bedroom and bathroom, which also contains a laundry set-up. The second floor has two attic bedrooms, one of which is suitable for a double bed. The other can accommodate a single bed or be established as a study.
Mr Remess believes the apartment would suit a “young business couple who like older buildings’’ or an investor looking to lease the apartment to students and city workers.
“It is (located) a block away from the CBD (central business district) and two blocks away from the heart of Hobart,’’ Mr Remess says.
“It would not be more than 300 metres to the main thoroughfare in the city – Liverpool Street. The university is also within a reasonable distance (about 3km) of the apartment. A young person would think it was a great place to live.’’
The sales agent adds that the apartment’s close proximity to the city compensates for a lack of off-street parking. But he says council permit parking is available to residents.
