Last Listing description (July 2026)

A stunning home with an impressive story and interesting history, 42B Goulburn Street c1828 was originally built as the Bulls Head Hotel, a notorious watering hole of its era. This striking building of sandstone and convict brick construction went on to accommodate a private school and private residence. Today, the property benefits from a valuable Airbnb licence and is currently operated as a successful short-term accommodation business, presenting both lifestyle and investment appeal.

An award-winning architectural restoration by Circa Morris-Nunn has retained many attractive original features with contemporary updates to create a stunning functional apartment rich with history and character.

White walls contrast against large Baltic pine floorboards and the magnificent Huon pine staircase culminating in a warm and inviting light-filled interior.

Open plan sitting room, kitchen and dining room forms the heart of the home, providing ample space for entertaining friends and family. The primary suite accommodates built-in wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom, and two further bedrooms with adjacent study space and built-in wardrobes are serviced by the central bathroom with laundry facilities.

Original fireplaces, sash windows and a beer cellar with barrel window enhance the ambience of the home whilst electric heating and two secure off street car parks provide modern convenience.

Winner of the Roy Sharrington Smith Award for Heritage at the 2012 Tasmanian Architecture Awards and HIA Tasmania Apartment Project of the Year 2011, the metamorphosis of this heritage listed property is exceptional and timeless in design. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a vibrant inner city lifestyle and become the next custodian of this outstanding piece of preserved Tasmanian history.

Please note; the title address for this property is 1/42 Goulburn Street, Hobart, Tasmania.
