In the heart of Evandale village, 18 Russell Street is a rare heritage-listed weatherboard property offering a unique combination of character, lifestyle, commercial use and future potential.
Originally constructed as two co-joined cottages, the building retains a beautiful village frontage with its deep verandah, timber windows, original doors and strong Russell Street presence. Today, it is home to 'Havendale', a curated boutique retail space, alongside a renovated private residence.
The commercial portion is warm, calm and highly atmospheric, with generous display windows, dark floors, timber detail and a natural connection to the village streetscape. It would suit continued boutique retail use, gallery, studio, consulting rooms or other character-led uses, subject to relevant approvals.
The residence has been thoughtfully updated while retaining its historic feel, with timber doors, soft neutral interiors, a wood heater, French doors, skylight, inviting living and dining spaces and a kitchen opening directly to the rear courtyard and garden.
Set on approximately 926 square metres, the property offers excellent outdoor space, including a covered brick entertaining area, lawn, garden beds, private sitting areas and a beautiful outdoor bath set against old brickwork and timber screening.
Previously approved for the addition and the construction of a second dwelling to the rear, the property also carries meaningful future flexibility. Understood to be the last property in this run capable of functioning for both commercial and residential purposes, it represents a rare holding in one of Northern Tasmania's most admired historic villages.
