56 Macfie Street, Devonport TAS 7310

1925 character | timber floors | four-bedroom Devonport | Macfie Street position | 191 sqm internal This four-bedroom house from 1925 on Macfie Street offers a configuration rarely found in central Devonport-four genuine bedrooms with 191 square metres of internal space, timber floors and open fireplaces intact. For a buyer seeking a family-sized property within walking distance of the CBD and waterfront, the size and original character provide a structural advantage over newer infill stock. The single garage and two bathrooms (with one source noting a single bathroom) are adequate for a family but not generous, meaning the property serves best a buyer who values period proportions over modern bathroom count. The 2020 sale at $380,000 sets a known baseline, but the key risk is that the 1925 build may require significant electrical, plumbing or insulation upgrades not visible at inspection. The one-bathroom discrepancy between records signals possible unapproved alterations or a dated configuration that limits appeal to downsizers and investors. Opportunity lies in restoring the fireplaces and timber floors as differentiators, then holding for long-term capital growth driven by Devonport’s tightening supply of period homes. Use this property as a buy-and-hold family home or a renovation play targeting the owner-occupier market-but budget for structural checks before offering
