Overview

5 Valentine Street is a captivating Federation-style residence built in 1904 that masterfully blends historic charm with modern comfort. The property's enchanting street appeal extends into its interior, which showcases original features such as restored sash windows with flowing drapes that enhance privacy and tranquility. Architectural details including a Huon pine mantel, decorative picture rails, soaring ceilings with ornate roses, solid timber doors, and striking stonework highlight the home’s character and timeless elegance.

The kitchen is designed for both welcoming gatherings and practical use, equipped with a farmhouse sink, soft-close drawers, a spacious walk-in pantry, and quality appliances including a 900mm oven with a Schweigen silent rangehood and stainless steel benchtops. A patterned tiled splashback adds a subtle touch of personality to the space.

The bathroom has been beautifully renovated to offer a crisp and fresh white environment complete with the luxuries of underfloor heating and a heated towel rail. Recent plumbing replacements ensure reliability and peace of mind. The lower level continues this character with exquisite stonework and a pressed tin splashback, offering versatile options for additional living space, such as a rumpus room, family retreat, media room or a fourth bedroom.

Outdoor living does not disappoint, with three separate decks and a brick-paved courtyard that provide numerous possibilities for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying solitude amidst mature trees and established, colourful gardens. The lush lawns and mountain views visible from various points amplify the picturesque setting. Practical features like flat side access and a rear access ramp enhance convenience, while solar panels contribute to reduced electricity expenses, and gas ducted heating connected to mains gas supply maintains comfort year-round.

Located in the highly sought-after New Town area of Tasmania, this residence offers easy access to Hobart’s CBD and local amenities such as cafes, a pub, shopping centres, hospital, schools including Friends School and Sacred Heart, and public transport options. This property is ideally suited for those who appreciate historic charm coupled with modern functionality, and it represents a thoughtfully preserved home ready for its next owner.
