‘Can’t manufacture history’: Georgian gem for sale

No.6 Henry St, Richmond. Picture: Supplied You can renovate or build a beautiful house, but you cannot manufacture 200 years of history. It’s a line Harcourts Hobart agent Colin Miller returns to when describing No.6 Henry St, and once you understand the property, it’s easy to see why. Set on a corner position in the heart of historic Richmond, this handsome sandstone residence dates back to the 1820s and 1830s, with origins as a former hotel woven into its story. It’s a home where centuries of character meet thoughtful, contemporary comfort, and where a separate coach house adds a layer of flexibility rarely found in a property of such vintage. “There’s an enormous amount of history and character here, but importantly, you don’t have to sacrifice modern comfort to enjoy it,” Mr Miller said.
