"Raasay"...Substantial residence or Stratum potential.

Beautifully situated at the Davey Street end of Wentworth Street is a substantial two storey residential property currently the subject of a stratum plan proposal, is the veritable 'diamond in the rough' configured as 3 spacious, self contained apartments each with their own private entrance.
The opportunity now arises to purchase the entire footprint and restore the residence to a single residence/ townhouse of grand proportions or continue with the stratum potential.

The building, circa 1890, is constructed of brick and sandstone and is a lovely example of the Federation Queen Anne architectural style. The distinctive name of the property is so called after the island, Raasay off the coast of Scotland and has been decoratively etched in sandstone on the facade.

Apartment 5 has just had the interiors freshly painted and enjoys a first floor position with a superb open plan living area, pretty multi panel top light window frames and 2 very double bedrooms with a bathroom/ laundry combination.

The orientation is north westerly and really enhances the overall ambience with great natural light from the elevated position...filtered river views and local vistas over the historic roof scape of South Hobart with a dramatic view of Mount Wellington visible through gorgeous projecting bay windows. External stairs provide shared access.

The interiors have been rewired but do require some renovation but have fabulous lines and potential. There are some nice features of the era including high ceilings, double hung timber sash windows and panelled doors.

A vibrant village strip dotted with cafes, gourmet food stores and services offers an enviable lifestyle.

Walk or cycle along the scenic Hobart Rivulet with a direct link to the CBD. Asymmetrical roof lines, tall chimneys and warm faced red brickwork with deep sandstone footings make for great street appeal. The building is somewhat of a landmark mark in the area.
