Set in the heart of South Hobart, this beautifully restored circa 1840 Georgian cottage offers a rare opportunity to secure a timeless family home where heritage elegance meets everyday comfort. From the moment you arrive, the home's classic street presence, framed by a white picket fence and welcoming verandah, sets the tone for what lies within. Inside, original features have been carefully preserved and thoughtfully enhanced, including exposed sandstone walls, high ceilings, fireplaces, and period detailing that speak to the home's rich history. Designed with family living in mind, the layout offers both warmth and flexibility. The main residence is centred around a generous living and dining space, complemented by a functional kitchen and a stunning pitched ceiling with exposed beams that creates a true architectural focal point. A sunroom at the rear captures a prized northerly aspect, flooding the home with natural light and providing a peaceful space to unwind. Accommodation is both spacious and versatile, with four bedrooms arranged across two levels. The lower level offers a self-contained setup, complete with its own living area, kitchen, and bathroom. This provides an ideal solution for extended family, teenagers, guest accommodation, or an additional income stream without compromising the integrity of the main home. The main bathroom has been tastefully updated to reflect modern expectations while maintaining a clean and functional design suited to family living. Outdoors, the home continues to deliver. Set on a generous parcel of land, the gardens have been thoughtfully established to create a private and peaceful setting, complete with fruit trees, vegetable beds, and a hothouse. A standout feature is the outdoor atrium, offering a unique and tranquil space for entertaining or simply enjoying the surroundings. Practicality is equally well considered, with multiple off-street parking options and convenient access to public transport right at your doorstep. Positioned within easy walking distance to cafés, bakeries, Hill Street Grocer, schools, and the North Hobart dining precinct, the home also offers a seamless commute to the Hobart CBD. It is a location that perfectly supports both family life and professional convenience. Rich in character, generous in scale, and rare in its offering, 447 Macquarie Street is a home that invites you to settle in, grow, and enjoy the very best of South Hobart living.
