Mr Romeo said Talune is an example of the great houses which graced Davey St during the early to mid 19th Century.
“I usually receive strong buyer interest from interstate, but believe that there will be strong interest from local buyers looking at investment opportunities in the commercial space surrounding Hobart’s CBD,” he said.
“This property presents a wonderful commercial opportunity, but I believe the eventual buyer will use it as a residence and for commercial use.
“It will make the perfect home office/business.”

Talune is a distinguished Georgian residence that stands as a testament to Hobart’s colonial prosperity.
Built in the 1850s for successful shipowner Edward Michael Fisher, the substantial two-storey mansion was designed to project wealth and status.
Fisher, who held multiple board positions, commissioned architect James Alexander Thomson to create the imposing residence for his wife.
The Fisher family maintained ownership until 1929, after which the property served various residential and commercial purposes.

Mr Romeo said the architecturally significant building retains its original features, including a symmetrical facade with two-storey corner pilasters, moulded window architraves, and a distinctive six-panelled entry door flanked by Tuscan columns.
“The residence encompasses a grand vestibule, formal and informal sitting rooms, six bedrooms, two bathrooms, and dual kitchens, all featuring original decorative elements such as cornices, rosettes, timber flooring, and high ceilings,” he said.

An additional restored schoolroom of 45 square metres features a kitchenette, while the grounds incorporate a private parterre garden with boundary hedging, storage facilities, and extensive parking.
The property’s premier location provides convenient access to Hobart’s central business district, dining establishments, cultural institutions, the University of Tasmania, and leading educational facilities.
