"Montmelic" is a beautiful 1920's Federation residence that possesses all the elements of your dream home! With its classic architecture, north-facing aspect, exceptional privacy, expansive grounds, and multiple living spaces, this property is perfect for entertaining and accommodating a larger family. Situated on approximately 1,839 sqm of lush, private gardens, you'll appreciate the prime location and flexible floorplan!
This unique offering enjoys dual street access from both 12 Senator Street and 11 Auvergne Avenue, surrounded by beautifully established gardens. Previously showcased as a luxury property on local photography platforms, "Montmelic" has the potential to reclaim this status with a few personal touches.
The grand proportions of the home are apparent both inside and out, providing ample space and opportunities for renovation now or in the future. The ground level features multiple living areas that are ideal for entertaining, while all five bedrooms are conveniently located on the upper level. Ducted reverse cycle heating throughout is a modern inclusion that makes this home comfortable year round.
One of the highlights is the stunning sunroom that doubles as a conservatory, flooded with natural light-a serene space to relax and enjoy the north-facing garden adjoining Auvergne Avenue. The upper level houses four spacious bedrooms, three of which boast impressive elevated views across Hobart, the river, and surrounding suburbs. A family bathroom, accompanied by a wide landing perfect for a home office or study, caters to all your family's needs. Additionally, a second bathroom on the ground floor is a handy convenience, and the expansive open-plan kitchen/dining area, featuring timeless Blackwood cabinetry, opens directly to a private courtyard, embodying the ideal indoor/outdoor flow for family gatherings.
Formal and informal living rooms provide versatility, perfect for families with teenagers seeking their own "gaming room," or for hosting family and friends during special occasions.
Located just a short walk from the vibrant North Hobart restaurant district, Lenah Valley, Calvary Hospital, an array of reputable schools including Friends School, and easy access to scenic walking trails, this property offers incredible scope for those who love to renovate and blend the existing elegance with modern finishes. Retaining many of its original features, including the impressive facade, open fireplaces, high ceilings, intricate skirting boards, exposed timber flooring, bay windows, and a beautiful timber staircase, this historic gem is indeed a rare find.
Off-street parking accommodates two vehicles (including a single carport off Senator Street), with potential for a grand circular driveway, subject to council approvals. Exceptionally private from the street, this remarkable property is ideal for families seeking extra space, sunshine, and everyday convenience, and it may also attract those considering a sensitive redevelopment, given its desirable dual street frontage and expansive land area.
Don't miss your chance to explore the endless possibilities that "Montmelic" has to offer!
