From the agent: “The Barn in Goulburn Street is on the market: a rare opportunity to purchase a piece of Hobart’s early history. Built in 1820, it was renovated in 2015 and has won national architecture and heritage awards for the way the property has been brought into the 21st century while cleverly retaining many of its original features. It has been on the short-term rental market for the past nine years and has enjoyed full occupancy for much of that time. This is due to both its location and the pleasure of staying in a refined converted residence. The property is offered for sale including all goods and may be continued as a short term rental offer; alternatively, it would make a very comfortable and modern small house for an individual or couple.”
